they would be in uniform and would bow once you were done and actually go out in the street and stop traffic so you could leave the station quickly.

American corporations would see that as a waste of potential profit.
It is not all the fault of the American worker.
I am Just saying the American Starting Out in the work force Has A high expectation Of a Job Position.But There Are Quite a few Young People Willing to Start from Scratch.In my Experience Your Best Buisness Owners Are the ones that worked their way up.I think what it comes down to is America Is just In A cozy position so they dont take things as serious as they should.

I believe we underestimated their intelligence and cohesion and are surprised
by the ease, quickness of the technological transfer.
