Evidence that SC's are NEVER happy

[NightWatch]

So I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, so please move it as you see fit

But one of my local news groups did a segment on this kid who loves his job, so watch the video, then hop on the comment board to see some of the nasty things people said about this poor guy who enjoys his job. Of course, the majority of people had nice things to say, but still...

Got a few of those where I live, there's a few who go above and beyond what they're required to do. I respect them for it, and it pisses me off when people criticize them for doing this type of job.

My sister did so, till I brought up her Dancing with the Stars and American Idol habits. It's okay on TV I guess, but not IRL.

My only beef is how can you read the sign?

what's sad... the KSL message boards are tame... you should see some of the stuff that makes in on the SL Tribs message boards... oh and if I had the time I would so route myself through that intersection on my way to Logan today... but I kinda doubt he'll be there anyway

[draggar]

I guess the true SCs are just very unhappy in life so instead of trying to make the best of it (like the kid in the article is) they go out and try to make everyone else as miserable as they are just so they don't seem as bad.

I like the guy who posted this one:

Sign = $25.00
iPod = $200.00

Freedom to stand on the side of the road and twirl that sign like you're fighting off a swarm of locuts...
= PRICELESS !!!

Why are so many people putting this kid down anyways? What's wrong with trying to find satisfaction in your job?

Some people are just so dissatisfied with their own lives that they've got to try to rain on everyone else's parade.

It's all rather pathetic.

Although, there's a sign "spinner" for Little Caesar's not far from here who is the total antithesis of what you want in a sign spinner. The guy doesn't do anything and usually looks like he's either in pain or constipated. It's really a turn off, especially for a food place.

^-.-^

You can't see it in the video, but he is standing directly in front of his store. Most of the time you see a sign spinner, if you can't read the sign, you can usually pick out what store it's for. Especially around here it seems cell phone stores and little caesar's pizza are the only places that use spinners.

Man, that kid is great! His endurance is amazing...hell, I ran cross country for four years straight (prior to beginning work at fast food <.<) and I doubt even then I would have been able to pull that off! And it's probably the recluse in me talking, but being able to dance like that in public...equally impressive!

Definite SC's on the comment board...if I didn't frequent this site I would have to wonder what kind of person would MAKE such comments...then I review today's SCs.

Actually, I read in one of the local papers here that there is a company that hire out sign spinners. It's a big business here! Those people who are complaining about the one kid, would probably have an apoplectic crisis out here.

I'm so sad... I drove past that intersection yesterday and the store was closed and he wasn't out spinning...

[DesignFox]

I've never heard of "sign spinning."

There are some businesses that will hire people to stand outside with signs for the day, but they literally just STAND there...it takes you a minute to realize that there's a person holding the signs up- they are hidden behind them.

They aren't in front of the business at all, or doing anything other than acting as a sign post.

I think the kid had some good moves. Good for him for enjoying his job. It looks like fun!
