Quite obviously to anyone other than a VIS member, your kids are clearly not in the group of whom I was speaking. But we've all been to WalMart or Walgreens or (fill in the name) and know there are plenty of lackadazical clockwatching pinheads working the minilabs. They don't all have parents like yourself who by example instill in them an admirable work ethic.
