Work is overrated I don't miss it.
I don't miss it but I like to go there and visit some of the guys.
We get paid commission only and we didn't even clock in for 10 years. When the law changed in the 2000s they had to give us minimum wage and we had to start using the clock. They never made a fuss about me starting a little late but it was expected we would work through lunch if a customer was waiting and we would stay after quitting time to finish a car if we were close and the person was waiting.
The other thing we had to deal with is the fact that service advisors are professional liars and will tell us the customer is waiting even if they have gone home. They get a percentage, too, and lie to get their customers ahead of the other advisors' customers.
