I understand your frustration and I don't disagree with what you say, however in the business's defense I'd have to say that the Mexican's (illegal aliens) usually only get the jobs that Americans don't want. For instance in S.E. Georgia the Mexicans do most of the Blueberry hand picking, Onion planting and harvesting & Pinestraw baling. Trust me when I tell you that the High School kids and most Americans won't do this type of labor work anymore.

I picked strawberries, blueberries, garlic and the like while a kid......farmers would advertise in the paper every spring to get ready for the season. Not anymore though....all those positions are filled by ILLEGAL LABOR and I'm sure that more than one skateboard shop, movie theater etc.. will suffer for lack of my kids dollars.

You and I both did this kind of work, i'm not sure how old you are but i'm 38 and i'm here to tell you that the work ethic's of kids today are alot worse than our's was. Whereas we would've been happy having a job period, youngsters today aren't willing to break their backs like we did. I literally had a job shoveling & washing down cow $hit out of my Grandfathers dairy, but I don't believe the kids of today (mine included) are willing to do those type of jobs.
