You make a good point, but we're dealing with people's health and lives here, not their car or a roof. Yes the money is an important aspect, but all patients are living beings that are someone's family and friends. I would like my family, friends, and myself to recieve care and respect from the Techs even as they leave. Whenever my patients are transferred over and in the bed I still take the few seconds to hold their hand for a moment and wish them well rather than rush out and wave "I'm outta' here!". Just a bit of a human and consoling gesture that will make them feel better. I believe kindness and compassion come first in any service, job, or company no matter what it may be, but that's just my belief. Introducing money into it and leaving just rubs off as a rude thing imo. Especially if it's one of those patients who does their best to find something to complain about and critique.
