Strange topic, huh? Bet though that most of the people are the same way. After all, those working at the company are from there. Over the years, as a part-time employee, you are able to work for a lot of companies and doing my work (field merchandising) the companies most often are out of state. I have found that people in Minnesota rank #1, and Texas is pretty good also. For 5 years I worked for a company in Plymouth, Minnesota. They had always been so very nice, great at Christmas, received a card and sometimes a small tuck-in like a pen on birthdays, etc. If you had a problem, they were also there, pleasant and helpful. When I had my stroke, I received a beautiful basket of plants - not even a card from the others. Well, I moved away from the area I was working (someone got a good job) and of course when I was ready to go back to work, there were no openings here. I found a job for a company that also served the place I worked, also in Plymouth, Minnesota. Because I stated that I worked for so-in-so company and they knew the quality of employees, I was lucky and got that job. Know what? They are just as helpful. Now why aren't all areas the same?

I kind of like their accent when I call too.
