My parent's have a summer restaurant. In the past they would hire young teenage American workers but that's a thing of the past. For the second straight year the workers at my parent's restaurant have been all foreigners. Most are from Eastern Europe and they come down primarily for the summer season.
To put it bluntly, my parents don't hire American teens anymore because of their lazy attitude. They show no initiative. They love to bitch about everything. They will sit on their lazy behinds while customers walk into the front entrance. They're always asking for weekends off. This is a big no-no in the summer because the shore resorts swell with tourist.
My parents have had ZERO issues with foreign workers. They don't complain. They will actually work when told and in fact my parents don't have to remind them because they show initiative. They are for the most part hard workers.
My parents aren't the only ones who feel this way. Most of the landscaping and construction businesses in the area hire nothing but Mexicans. A few weeks ago I had a discussion with an owner of a landscaping business and he told me that he's sick and tired of hiring young American men. They constantly call out of work and when they do show up their output is awful. Also, they bitch and moan all day.
Of course I'm generalizing. There are American teenage workers that aren't lazy and if this is you then that's great. But you also have to admit that what I just said is mostly true.
