there are 2 escalators in our estate that lead from the main entrance to the podium. every now and then a few cleaners will be seen sitting on various steps of a stationary escalator, using a stick and a cloth to clean every dent on each step.
even though i am clean freak, each time i see this my heart sank as it is such a mis allocation of human resources. it is only because that the cleaners is a very low paid work force thus r made to do something that is so labour intensive yet really not very necessary.
there r many others who also work very long hours each day, contributing a lot, yet paid very little : chef in a bakery, those who maintain cleanliness of toilets, dish washers in a kitchen…
while we might not change the social structure easily so that all these people will enjoy the same pay / status as a lawyer / medical doctor, as least we can give them some appreciation / respect for the the services that they render :
a genuine praise, smile, greeting… or even express gratitude in our hearts silently. they can certainly feel it and we would have done a little to make this world a better place.
