We hired this college kid, a senior to preform some grunt work and he wanted to learn his way around the construction site or industry. His father works for a friend managing his subway sandwich shops. We took him on only because, one he needed a job and we needed a runner that are willing to pick up small items and order general stuff and to open up for other trades early in the morning. We pay him 22 bucks.

This kid do not know how to stop btiching. I hear him around lunch hanging around the guys complaining about money and how the youth or college grads today will never be able to buy a home and their lifestyle will be hampered by society and inflation. Bla, bla, bla. The typical complains from someone that had not has their ass kicked by the working world.

Mornings, always a Starbucks or similar coffee in his hand as he comes to work. Ok, I do that too but I have coffee brewed on the job site and the guys make it when possible. For lunch, he drives, eats out and at times, he will bring back and eat with the guys. Its always something pretty expensive from a restaurant, around 15-20 bucks. Mid day, Its coffee times and sometimes, if he busy, he will get that cold sweet coffee drinks delivered. I get it its hot.

For the few times when I am around, he talks about being broke and saving for a large item such as a car is extremely difficult and to buy a home is a rip off due to socal high prices. He hate real estate investors, that would be me but most don't know that and do not need to know it. Should I say something about his spending habits? This dumb kids burns 35-40 bucks daily ( more if you count the mid day coffee delivery) on just food and that doesn't including dinner. Most of the guys make twice or more then he does and 3 of the 4 own a home. Should I tell him to stop his btiching and stop spending on dumb things like coffee delivery while we have it here at the job or his lunch spending to he can wise up and save for a home or the future? I am just tired of people complaining about the same thing and does nothing about it and I'm sure the guys are tired of listenning to it. If he is here to learn something, that's the one thing he will hopefully take away with him. Maybe too young to realized it? He's 23 and he's not going to learn siht about the industry by ordering light switches and plywood.
