Something for Nothing

 Why is it everyone expects something for nothing? I can't stand it. Especially in the line of work I am in. Working in a Community Bike Shop is tough sometimes. Everyone expects a hand out..well let's be honest...I understand the money doesn't grow on trees, that is the very reason I am doing what I am doing to help people get things done for as little as possible. However, I get people expecting things for free. What they don't understand is that we as an organization have to pay for rent, electricity, supplies not to mention pay for staff and that if we do not get support we can not be around to support them. It is a vicious cycle and everyone is afraid to step on anyones toes but at the end of the day I have to keep calm and keep pushing forward. Making moves as a wise friend of mine has said. I will weed out the people who do not appreciate what I am doing and get new faces who do. With that said I am done.
