9:15 I’m helping the guy and walk up to see 3 teenagers standing next to the open sign. They ask me “how do we turn this off?”
BY TURNING THE BIG SWITCH THAT SAYS ON/OFF TO FUCKING OFF!!!
Like are they actually this incompetent or are they playing so I don’t expect anything of them? I’m leaning towards the former since this act of incompetence was actually potentially creating MORE work for them.
So I’m watching Facebook reels with my wife tonight and it’s one of those where they ask random people on the street questions. These were things like “how many countries are in the United States”, shit like that. It made me weep for humanity. Sometimes I think the kids are alright, and sometimes I very much think the kids definitely are not alright.
One of the things I adore about Americans is their ability to answer things off the cuff on subjects they know nothing about. We should all aspire to a fraction of that self confidence and optimism lol
“What countries fought in the American civil war?”
“Uh, France, Germany, and, like, Singapore? I think?”
Yeah, you nailed it. There’s a country-wide fear of the phrase “I don’t know”.
Working retail I’ve met utterly helpless people of every age, race, class and background. I think this culture just breeds a kind of laziness where people wouldn’t dump a bucket of water on themselves if their own pants were on fire. AI sure as shit ain’t helping.
There’s Wine Country, Bat Country, Amish Country… and probably more
Like, it’s either as you said, that they’re just dense, or they’re doing it for the luls.
