Take everything they give you.

It may only be a free coffee, but it is more than many folks (particularly those without jobs) got for a Christmas bonus.

Is it lousy, Sure and mine wasn't much better (a discount card to use at the store where I work, so in order to benefit I must spend money there), but it is something.

to frame it and hang it on the wall.

Besides this part time job, I do collect SS and have a pension. So I realize I am better off than the others that work there. I am glad I have the job, not for the money, but just to have something to do after 10 years of retirement.

Still, a company that makes billions in profits pays minimum wage for 3rd shift work.

Just to make sure you didn't lose it! Because it is THAT important.
When you frame it, you should add a caption with their stock symbol and the last fiscal year's revenue and profit.
Merry Christmas from Big Oil!

Marathon Petroleum.

By the way, as I just got home from working Xmas eve from 10 at night until 6 am this morning, during the night I gave 10 bucks to a couple of kids that came in to buy 21 cups of coffee to give those on the picket line at Cooper tire. I also gave 10 bucks to a couple of young girls that come in every night and talk to me. They are as poor as church mice and they spent it all on roller grill items and ate them.

At least you got one....my boss offered us the joy of working 4 hour shifts on Christmas so we could get away from the families and catch up on end of year accounting. Strictly volunteer.....wink wink.
