The other day, one of our fresh recruits asked me this question. He’s a bloody smart guy, just like all the others.
– “How should we treat those big business people when they visit us?”, he asked.
– “How do we treat the pizza delivery boy?”, I said.
– “Pretty well, I guess”, he replied.
– “How do we treat the janitor who comes every night to clean our office?”
– “Pretty well too”, he said.
– “Any other questions?”
He went back to work at his desk. Then he came back to me and asked,
– “Yes, but, should we DRESS differently?”
We all dress clean, but pretty much in jeans and T-shirts. Sometimes I wear a suit, but that’s when my jeans are in the laundry.
– “Same answer”.
We treat everyone the same.
