There’s Another Incredible Story Coming From That Restaurant Made Famous by Teen’s Snowy, 10 Mile Interview

You might think a good work ethic is dead or dying in the United States. Overall, that might be the case. But as evidenced by the viral story of the teen who walked 10 miles for a job interview in the snow and the restaurant that hired him, there’s a group of employees in Indiana who are trying to prove that wrong — and enjoying it.

In fact, that restaurant is producing another crop of incredible stories about some of its other employees — like the one who works during the day as a deputy county prosecutor (more on that in a bit).

Last week, the story of Jhaqueil Reagan, the 18-year-old who was spotted by Papa Roux owner Art Bouvier walking 10 miles in the snow for a job interview elsewhere, went viral when he was offered a position at the New Orleans-inspired restaurant. Reagan happily accepted the employment. The young man and the owner instantly became viral stars.

Bouvier — yes, people who know him call him Papa — told TheBlaze even in the few moments he had with Reagan, his actions signaled a strong work ethic, which had him offer the young man the job so quickly. But he also told TheBlaze he “has a staff full of Jhaqueils.”

As Glenn Beck said when he picked up Reagan’s story last week, he was at first “thrilled” and then “bummed” that such a story — one that showcases someone willing to go the extra mile, literally — would be considered news in America.

“It shows us just how far off the mark we really are,” Beck said, referring to the idea that hard work and doing whatever it takes is becoming so rare it’s now a national news story.

Although it might seem like the nation is starved for jobs and people with the good work ethic to accept them, staff members at Papa Roux are offering a glimmer of hope.

Proving Oneself on the ‘Roux Croux

Kristin Erato-Alosinac is a rare authority on the topic of youth and work ethic because of her own diverse employment. The 44-year-old is a deputy county prosecutor in Hendricks County by day and a jack-of-all-trades at Papa Roux a few nights a week.

“It’s a good balance for me,” Erato-Alosinac said, explaining that she has worked two jobs for a while as her Croatian husband was not legally allowed to work in the U.S. yet.

With 15 years as a prosecutor, Erato-Alosinac said what she sees in her day job and what she sees in the youth at Papa Roux are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

“From my full-time job I see a completely different picture,” said Erato-Alosinac, who is one of two “age outliers” in a staff of mostly teens and young adults as Bouvier tactfully put it. “Eighty percent who come in don’t have a job. They either just don’t want to take that type of a job…I don’t understand how they’re unemployed. …I don’t know if they’re lazy.”

Then there’s the “Roux Croux,” as they’re called.

“They fascinate me,” said Erato-Alosinac, who was a regular customer at Papa Roux before she joined the “Croux.” “They’re different than the people just dropping off an application everywhere. They know what the business is about. They show they have the personality and the work ethic to get in.

In fact, Colleen Bouvier, Art’s wife, told TheBlaze for the last three years or so, none of their employees came from the traditional application process. They were either referred by word-of-mouth or were regular customers.

“The normal application process did not work out for us,” Colleen explained. “One of the things we’ve been noticing with this crew is they’re tight — family tight. If you don’t fit in, you’ll quit. It’s not easy when you’re new … you have to prove yourself.”

Take 52-year-old Indianapolis native Jeff Cunningham. Cunningham, the other “age outlier,” said he’s held a lot of jobs in restaurants. Cunningham was recruited to work at Papa Roux when someone who knew he needed a job saw him washing dishes at a church breakfast function.

“I want to say Papa hired me because Papa is a really fair person. He likes to give everybody a chance. All you got to do is just prove yourself. [Prove] that you will work,” Cunningham said.

As Colleen said, the Roux Croux is more family than staff. During past week when Papa was away taking care of the media storm and Mama was keeping the restaurant running, Colleen explained she returned home to find some of the Croux, after working all day, had stopped by, helped her children with their homework, put them to bed and were putting together the following week’s work schedule.

“When it comes to work ethic, they all just got it,” Colleen said.

 

Where Does Work Ethic Come From and Why Does There Seem to Be a Deficit?

With all the Papa Roux employees TheBlaze spoke with, the answer to where they learned their work ethic was unanimous: from their parents. From the “age outliers” to workers in their twenties to Jhaqueil Reagan, they all attribute modeling their value of hard work to their parents.

Abigale Meyer said she learned it from her mother.

“If you are going to work hard, you have to make it fun. I don’t think work and fun are mutually exclusive,” the 20-year-old said, noting that she picked up this attitude from her mother who used to bring her along on her job cleaning houses. This was where Meyer saw her mom “cracking up all day,” enjoying her job.

For the younger workers at Papa Roux, they said they don’t see the lack of work ethic in their generation and consider it a misconception. Then again, they’re around the Roux Croux all the time so they might only be witnessing what’s in that bubble while people like Erato-Alosinac sees a different story.

“I think that’s a generalization for older generations to make,” Meyer, who is studying to be a high school English teacher, said. “Everyone I know at least has one job and is also in school.”

Kelsey Dulgar, a 22-year-old who is also a full-time student, would agree with Meyer’s assessment.

“There are kids out there who are willing to work,” Dulgar said. “It’s easier to have a good work ethic though for a job you care about and because you have a boss that would do the same too.”

“It’s cool to show people ‘look, people our age have a good work ethic,’” she added.

But Colleen acknowledged that it’s easy to make this generalization about younger generations.

“I can tell you I’m guilty of that a lot of times,” Colleen said. “That’s the old lady coming out of me. I’m quick to say that about the teenage generation.”

Colleen said she thinks technology could come into play with the topic of work ethic and youth.

“It’s probably a contributing factor in the older generation picking on the younger because they don’t have to do as much legwork,” she said.

Still, as Jhaquiel Reagan put it on the Glenn Beck Program on TheBlaze TV last week, if people are unemployed or shying from certain types of employment then they’re just not trying hard enough.

“It’s all about perseverance and getting out there, putting your name out there,” Reagan said. “It’s not what you know sometimes, it’s who you know. And it’s not who you know, it’s what you know.”

Watch Reagan and Art Bouvier speak with Glenn Beck during his show last week:

 Here’s Reagan and Bouvier on the Glenn Beck Radio Program:

How’s Jhaqueil Doing Now?

What has the last week been like for Reagan? The teen whose mother died last year, who dropped out of high school but earned his GED, who up until two weeks ago couldn’t afford cost of a bus ride, now has stable employment and an outpouring of support so great that he has established the The Jhaqueil DamianJoel Reagan Foundation: Doing Good While Treating People Well.

According to the Papa Roux Facebook page, the foundation was seeded with 50 percent of the donations Reagan received and future donations to Reagan — and those made directly to the foundation — will go there as well.

“His personal needs being met, his concern now is helping others,” Papa Roux stated on Facebook. “Half of what he could legally claim his own, he wants to give back.”

The post explains that the foundation will help the local underprivileged but while also providing those looking for employment tools that might help them get it.

“From bus passes to clothes and more, Jhaqueil’s wish is to use this worldwide viral attention to help others who have similar needs, but less media frenzy,” the post read.

      I question why more companies don’t do this LNF.

      Especially in times where SO many people are out of work, and so many companies are floundering, WHY aren’t there more companies like this, changing their attitudes about both their employees AND the customers.

      I guess jobs are so rare nowadays that people will walk 10 miles in snow to go to one. That doesn’t say much for our country and it also says employers will take advantage of someone that desperate for a job.

      Yes this is a fantastic story. It sounds as if the boss needs to write a book on how to obtain good workers and keep them. Generations change and the more stuff you get for free the less you feel as If you have to work and have any work ethic. You can always tell when an employee isn’t going to stay in their job long enough to become proficient or adequately trained by their work habits while at work. Today’s generations scare me.

    I know a young man who worked for a company for two years, working 50 hours per week.
    He was never late or absent. Never asked to leave work early.
    He’s a non-smoker, non-drinker, and non-drug user.
    He almost always surpassed production and produced a high quality product, but he was still permanently laid off.

    The company let him go and kept many of the major slackers, just because they had seniority.
    The company he worked for, seems to not care one bit about work ethic.
    They fire you in the order that they hire you. Last man in, is first man out.
    What a self-destructive way to run a business.

      I see this kind of work ethic all the time but I live an a very small town.
      Everybody is family. If you are doing something wrong, your parents know about it before you get home. I can’t immagine trying to bring up children in a large city where you never know your neighbor. It’s nice to see this though.

      When I was in the Minnesota Army National Guard, I saw a lot of incestual promotions of family members and locals to that armory. I also saw every single high speed enlisted and officer leave the army entirely when their time was up. So many quality individuals who were intentionally overlooked for promotions. These amazing soldiers saw no advancement. But they did see a lot of incompetent senior NCO’s. I was unique. I was a few hours away from my armory, but was promoted and offered a very high promotion transfer. I turned it down and left the guard. For the most part, these small town armories are all about who you know, not your individual capabilities and contributions.

      I saw a lot of the same issues with big businesses and family run businesses. These lessons were the reason I decided to take a full time night/weekend job while starting and running my own business during the day.

      You can certainly thank a Court System for that.
      And I’ll agree with it only in the sense that if 2 people are compared for firing
      the more senior person should stay – assuming ALL OTHER THINGS EQUAL.
      That includes work ethic, call in’s, attitude, intelligence, adaptability etc.
      And don’t forget companies DO have a history of getting rid of the higher PAID person – they have higher salaries and higher health care cost, higher pension liabilities etc.

      As people get older, and more “senior” in their position, they have a greater susceptability to get fat and lazy.
      And get more health problems.
      They slow down.
      They also get s##t on enough times by the company that they quit caring.
      The older ones TEND to be the ones that NEED to be let go but that is not always the case of course.

      Work ethic.
      I believe you learn it at home watching what your parents do.
      And if daddy ain’t there, and momma has 6 kids on welfare, what do you think most will do?

    Nope! I don’t see any “blacks” in the picture either. H-m-m-m-m. Is it because employees of this restaurant are expected to show up when scheduled, on time, properly dressed, and ready to work? Isn’t it easier just to hang on a street corner and talk/text on your Obama-phone while waiting for your next monthly SNAP funds to arrive.? Can’t tell from the picture but I would bet none of those kids have their pants hanging below their ass, no one is wearing his cap sideways and I doubt there are any tongue and lip piercings either.

      Would you like to take bets on the percentage of minorities per capita population on welfare and receiving food stamps versus poor whites?. Sound racist it isn’t. We have generations of poor blacks that are uneducated and have spent their whole lives on the Government dole. Do really think that all these welfare and food stamp people voted for Romney?. The left has created a large subset of America that has no work ethic and believes the Government owes them everything their little hearts desire. A lack of a work effort and a dependency on Government helps no one but Government. The more dependency the bigger the Goverrnment. The result an abatememnt of freedom for those of us that work..

    Nice to hear about good people with a good work ethic and an employer that truly appreciates their hard work. I hope this story goes viral because it is an encouragement to all.

    You can be sure there are the lib malcontents who are trying to dig up some dirt in order to discredit both Papa and Jhaqueil. This incredible story does not fit the liberals’ story line about people who want to work and just cannot find employment and how evil employers are.

      YEAH!! Nor all young people fit the mold of the OWS lunatics. Guess what, these young folks will be employing the OWS participants – - – that is if they (The OWS crowd) ever get a job anywhere.

      Really? This story gets you that excited? Isn’t this expected behavior? What’s next? “Graduation” ceremonies for pre-schoolers?

      Yeah, yeah. I know we alredy have those. My point is that praising both of these is stupid. Great for the kid. Great he’s doing what society expects him to do.

    I am wondering if Obama would embrace this as a symbol of what this country needs? No forgot there is no turmoil, divisiveness or political gain…………..

      No, because he cannot say that Jhaqueil would look like Obama’s son if he had one.

    “From my full-time job I see a completely different picture,” said Erato-Alosinac, who is one of two “age outliers” in a staff of mostly teens and young adults as Bouvier tactfully put it. “Eighty percent who come in don’t have a job. They either just don’t want to take that type of a job…I don’t understand how they’re unemployed. …I don’t know if they’re lazy.”

    @ERATO: yes honey. they are lazy. When WalMart clerks in Texas run EBT cards with a $7,000 dollar balance these lazy A$$ MoFo’s in this country know they can make more money on welfare. But you keep going girl. You got the right work ethic.

      “When WalMart clerks in Texas run EBT cards with a $7,000 dollar balance…”

      When I brought this story up I was told KGBT tends to sensationalize their news to get people excited. So when I asked what was wrong with the story they ran, I got no response back. LOL…

    Just wait and see what some libs will say about this story—They will either white wash it or or say it is over stated. I truly have never met a lib that is a hard worker–they are all- I mean all- trying to work around thy system ( to get their pay day) A law suit or some fake injury compensation–Why they are all libs is amazing to me—But I guess– if their leader THE LIAR is the same way, lazy and (“gets mine while I can” attitude) Then I understand. If they would spend the same amount of energy trying to get out of work-they would be great employees!!!!!

    God Bless. Let’s have a good news section in every media outlet. All is not lost, just greatly diminishing.

    Demonstrates that there is still much good will in the USA and that the Left-wing, main-stream media will NEVER report it.
