Corporate evil! Does it really exist?

I have to sell Marlboro, Pepsi, budweiser, and many other corporate leaders, because if I don't my customers will go elsewhere. I respect the fact that they all started as some mom and pop business, but i hate the fact that the employees are now just drones working under the guidelines of a 50 page manual. While I have to learn to seperate the workers from the corporation themselves, I will never lose that hatred for the inevetitable crushing of most little people. Recently I had the pleasure of helping a young woman in the drive thru window who expressed satisfaction in my notes. As I asked and received her identification for smokes I realized she also had my brothers same birthdate, which for whatever reason I thought was really cool. Later that day I went to my bank and low and behold she was working behind the counter. Now this was starting to get a little too coincidental for me, but that is just the way life is. As every moronic thought raced through my head I wandered why I cared so much. One image I wasn't proud of was why I cared that she worked at a huge corporate conglomerate. It is not as if she is a part of it. I'm sure she doesn't know or care about who actually signs her check, or where the profits from her efficiency will actually go, or the fact that the CEO makes more in a year than she will probably make in her lifetime, or the fact that no matter what she accomplishes for them no one with any power in the business will actually thank her. She will always just be a number. Her personality,looks, intelligence, and all other attributes will only move her closer to the point where she no longer has to use them to make customers happy, but in order to get herself closer to the top. All this aside all I should really care about is the fact that she has a job, or that she is provided a job that might otherwise not be there. As much as I would love to see little flower stands, espresso shops, catering trucks, and the many other little businesses that add charms to our concrete society I have to respect that those days are long gone. I just wish I would have been alive at a time I could of seen it. Anyway I wanted to thank her for being so kind as a customer, as a person, and as a member of the corporate world. It has no bearing on who you are as a person, I just hope it never will. One of the toughest challenges life has to offer is the ability to keep your values and roots, and be successful at the same time. To me that is what "higher standards" truly means.
