As an 18-year-old, this post pisses me off. I work very, VERY hard and try to make sure everything I do is done as well as I possibly can. I like learning and I like being social with my co-partners and discourage them from slacking off. I am friendly and converse with my customers, and when I make a mistake, I apologise and try to correct it. If you have a problem with an employee, you should do what most people call FIRING THEM. Obviously, you don't want to have to put up with people like that- so get people who actually really want to work. Either that, or lecture them for an hour on work ethic. And you know what, your generalisation is crap. I know adults who work like that too, cursing and talking loudly about their own personal woes.
Personally, I'm betting you treat your teen workers like crap. If you had a little confidence in teens (who aren't all stoned off our asses or trying in vain for sex), you would probably gain a little respect.
