"Service" WITH A SNEER - Garner Ted Armstrong - August 1971

Garner Ted Armstrong

What's happening to the "service professions"? Take a look at big city hotels, restaurants, cleaning establishments, cab lines, custodial businesses and bus lines - a subtle new pattern becomes obvious. Surly, disgruntled waiters; irritated, short-tempered clerks; careless, impersonal people struggle with jobs that have become totally boring, tiresomely monotonous. It's symptomatic of what's happening to us - we're learning not to care. The third cab squished soddenly by, its windshield wipers brushing ineffectually at the splattering rain, the driver barely visible, peering through rain-streaked windows to see if I had any baggage. Standing outside a large domestic airline terminal at New York's Kennedy Airport, I was trying to catch my connecting flight overseas. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
