What would happen if the price wasn’t right?

Do you actually see any of this training affecting how you work at your job, or was it more like something that seemed to fit into how you already operate more or less? I agree with the companies decision, but I feel like allowing non-customers into your store might give rise to even more potential situations. It seems like the incident that prompted this was a worst case scenario of something that is probably fairly common, but since race was apparently the motivating factor it became a PR issue.

I assist at a sober-living house in California and I’ve read some of the articles about the abuse in the drug-treatment industry but thankfully haven’t experienced this problem. Do you feel that this issue has primarily to do with the socio-economic background of an area, where a rehab needs this kind of exploitative labor just to exist because their patients could not afford it otherwise, or do you think it is more of a personal greed issue? I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to have started my recovery where I did because of the amount of support provided, and I often hear from people in other parts of California saying that it is not as easy to find the support they need for their own recovery. I can’t imagine being addicted, without much support, and being asked to work for free in order to receive help with my addiction. Thank you for your work and the AMA!

Teaching is a very respectable job. Your students might not give you the respect you deserve, but I think just about anyone respects the hard work and dedication it takes to educate others.
