Being a support person myself, I guess I can weigh in on this. Never liked the idea. Just give me the respect and consideration I deserve and pay me what I am worth. I don't think that any particular position should be singled out for flowers, candy, or a free meal. Just seems a bit gratuitous to me and in that way demeaning. Hope I'm not offending anyone who enjoys this type of *recognition*, just wanted to say that I don't.
