    It’s 4 a.m., and I’m waiting in Hardee’s parking lot for the manager to come and unlock the door so my daughter can go to work. This Hardee’s opens at 5 a.m.

    By 6 a.m., no manager has shown up, but 5 people on their way to work have.

    It doesn’t usually last 2 hours, but this is a common occurrence. Management clearly doesn’t care.

    Unless you’re the one who is late, of course.

    I almost expect people to disrespect what I do, and who I am. That’s just the way of things. I deal with that every day, and I don’t much care what they think of me.

    Disrespect my time? I care about that very much.
