It is true that customer can open and close the door itself. If we do so then we are making a person loose his job. That's not fair. Let him and close the door. World is place of merciless people.
I agree. There is only business interest in commercial establishment. If you show undue care for the senior citizen employed and show that he is too old for the job, management will surely sack him.
This is not isolated case. There are also senior citizens working as Coolies, Riksha pullers and oing many petty jobs. As long as one needs money and he has no source of income like past saving, interest or rental income or support from children, he has to work. Instead of showing too much compassion, we need appreciate their efforts of self dependence. Incidentally, i am also a senior citizen and still working.
I do appreciate and respect them a lot....it's not just a matter of pity. I can't tolerate senior people respecting us. there lies the real problem.
Also, they are paid low for such restless jobs. It's really hurting you know.
No need to feel bad about it. If senior people shows their respect to their junior the juniors should appreciate the gesture by also showing their respect. Ideally one is expected to show their respect to everybody without differentiating between the seniors or juniors.
If a senior person is fit and is able to earn , then why not ? He or she must be getting some satisfaction at least that they are financially independent. Every job has its own importance and why distinguish between them as lowly and high placed jobs. A job is a job..
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
