Jessie's Glove
I do alot of management training each year for the Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores．    21    the topics we discuss is the retention （保持）of quality employees -- a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale （薪水标准）in the service industry．During these discussions, I asked the participants, "What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?" Some time back a new   22     took the question and   23     said, "It was a $19 baseball glove．"
Cynthia told the group that she    24    took a Circle K clerk job as an interim （过渡时期）position  25     she looked for something  26   ．On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie．He needed a baseball glove for Little League．She explained that   27   a single mother, money was very   28   , and her first check would   29   go for paying  30  ．Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check．．
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that    31    as an office．Cynthia   32  if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before．She was concerned and confused．
Patricia handed her a box．"I overheard you talking to your son   33    ," she said, "and I know that it is hard to  34    things to kids．This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how    35    he is, even though you have to pay bills   36   you can buy gloves．You know we can't pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we    37   care, and I want you to know you are important to    38 ．"
The thoughtfulness, sympathy and    39  of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer  40    than how much the employer pays．An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove．
