Here is what I am learning about hospice shops.

HOSPICE SHOP

THERE ARE WORKERS WHO RECEIVE A SALARY.

Each shop has a paid manager.

THERE ARE ALSO WORKERS WHO ARE VOLUNTEERS.

Volunteers know that they are helping a good cause. That is their satisfaction.

I know of course that volunteers don’t receive a salary, but I am learning that because they are volunteers they work harder than if they would receive a salary.

Hard to believe?

I am told that that is “an interesting dynamic.”
