     And I assume a lot of that is rolled over so someone else's insurance is   
   paying for it.  Such as the $20 per aspirin legend.  (I write legend since I   
   have no solid evidence that is done, on a regular basis, though I do believe   
   there it is possibly real)  {N   
     (I like to joke that I'm the last person to admit I'm wrong about   
   something).

     Some businesses will accept that and some won't.   
     At one time, don't know if its still done, a portion of a persons wages   
   could be taken, by law, to pay a debt by garnishment.

     When I took over as supervisor in parking enforcement around 2008, there   
   was a lot of he said/she said rules and regs which seemed to change with the   
   wind.   
     I wrote a manual, with approval of the boss, on how things are done and   
   not done.  It'd still in effect today and a copy is given to each new hire so   
   there is no question later with the person saying they were never told   
   such-and-such.   
     But a lot is learned on the job as circumstances come up.  Otherwise it   
   would be hundreds of pages for all events.

     I was fired from three different jobs in a row in the late '70s.  And   
   yes, it was due to my fault of under-performing.   
     A couple of the jobs I was not suited for and best for both the employer   
   and myself to part ways.

     The current generation seems to have little or no work ethic.   
     I was always taught to take whatever job I could do and do it well and   
   something better would come along.  And usually did.   
     And there is also the Peter Principle in play, where one rises to the   
   level of their incompetence.  I see this quite often.
