An ode to the housekeeping staff of a shopping mall in the U.S.

I bet many visitors to a shopping mall don't even realize how much work is involved to keep a large shopping mall with food court clean and tidy every day of the weak from opening to closing and beyond! They take it for granted!

I bet many visitors to a shopping mall do not realize how many jerks are among them. People, who carelessly leave trash behind when a trash receptacle is only a few feet away, or who soil a public seating area, or who drop beverages/food on the floor and don't care to do anything about it, or dog owners not cleaning up after their pet and much more. 

Many of the housekeeping staff are Hispanics. Quite a few don't speak English very well. However, when you watch them go about their work you can see dignity, pride, and a can do spirit in many of them going about their daily work. I, as an immigrant myself, have the pleasure to work with many of them.
