I love my job though (at times), and it's worth the rubbish pay and the stress just to see the smiles on their faces when they see that you *do* care. And even if they don't remember it the next day, you can have a conversation with them -- just sit down and have a chat --, and they smile and it's just...it's lovely. It's why I'm still working there. I know I can't be the only person to do this but I just...I feel like I have to be there for them, you know? Because I don't know if anyone else is.

Sometimes, all they want is a chat and a laugh. Someone to talk to.
