If he didn’t like a job, he quit and got another one in days, if not hours. All minimum wage of course. His impression of British 18 year old workers is not good. The sense of entitilement astonished him.
Well by definition you're seeing the highly motivated ones who've bothered to come to the UK for work not the rest. What's more a few years of living here and adjusting to all that 'entitlement' can have exactly the same effect on migrants as it does on our own who've grown up with that expectation. Anyone coming here from poorer countries is bound to perceive things as being far easier here than back home and the children of migrants who're born here are likely to have exactly the same expectations as those born of British parents.
