In a few years these people will be running things!
Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets (Unbelievable but sadly true...) (Must have been the same one I asked for sweetener, and she said they didn't have any, only Splenda and sugar.) TWO I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?' I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.' She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened. ( But the lady behind me had a big smirk on her face as I left) THREE A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.' (Keep shuddering!!) FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?' 'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked. 'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk....' PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!! FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies. Brunette, by the way!! SIX A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......' Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency right away' Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're Stupid!!!! Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh....it is all true..

I would laugh, but I have seen similar in action. Actually it's kinda sad. I have to use these two phrases on a very frequent basis. " No, your other left" or "No,your other right."

The kids today get confused when you give them say, $10.05 for a $5.05 purchase, they have no idea how much change to give back.

I think I've met the ATM woman before.
When I was a young computer tech I got a call from a woman that put the CD in her computer every day for 2 weeks and the computer ate them. I opened the machine and found the CD's melted inside the machine. She had been pushing them in the small space between the drive and the CD unit instead of pushing the button to open the CD player.

About 11 years ago I too my truck in to a full service car wash. It's a manual trans so I put on the parking brake and told the goober what I wanted done. I go in the waiting room and watch. They have windows along the bay so you can watch every step of the wash from start to finish. I see my truck still sitting at the entrance and three employees staring at it while the fourth is grinding my trans trying to put it in gear. They get it in gear and then keep stalling. I finally got pissed off and go out into the bay. They ask me " How do you turn off the brake?" Then they ask me to drive it into the bay because NONE of them know how to drive a standard! I would think that if you work at a place servicing cars you should at least know how to release a modern parking brake yet alone drive standard.

It's a carwash, you are expecting far too much.

It's those sort of things that add "spice" to our lives......you should thank them for the entertainment.

Let's not overlook the obvious..... they need a raise in pay because how can they raise a family on minimum wage
![]() If you pay them more money then they will learn how to drive a stick ![]()
