[quote=Anonymous]If it were an infrequent thing and I were in a position of gopher or otherwise low on the totem pole, yes I would do it (and grumble inwardly).  To a large extent, I think that "young" people today (I saw that as a 34 year old) have really unreasonable expectations about what their first jobs should be and how much time they need to put in before they're the bosses.  Think of all the kids who grow up in this area who were raised with other people cleaning their houses, at best putting dishes in a dishwasher.  They would be horrified to be asked to wash something else's coffee cup and would quit, file a lawsuit, and/or go tweet about the experience.

Having said that, I understand that for your cousin there were cultural issues behind his disgust at the very least.  He is also getting a Master's level education, he's not just out of high school temping in an office.  Having said that, he was still low on the totem pole, there to pay his dues, and the job is what it is.  He has the right to say no, but they certainly can fire for that.  If he didn't need the job or otherwise can find another one easily, that's his business.[/quote]
