It's true. Too many kids today, not all, just want a paycheck for free. My neighbors kid is a prime example. Dropped out of school, just turned 18 in Nov. and has already blown $5k in a savings account that he couldn't touch until 18. Refuses to do anything for minimum wage. He did have a couple of decent jobs, but just quit because his freinds wanted to party when he was working. Now he just sits on his 300 lb fat ars.

Incompetance is running rampant.
I experienced something last night that I'd heard jokes about, but never encountered first-hand. I stopped to pick up some dinner on the way home from class last night. The bill was $19.11. I gave the guy $20.11. That just ruined his night! He froze like a deer in the headlights. Looked at the cash drawer, looked at me, looked at the cash drawer, looked at me... he had NO idea what to do. Then he says, "Um, you kinda threw me off there..." Trying not to laugh, I just told him to give me a dollar back.

I have noticed this around here to, even at the hospitals. My Wife went the Emergency room over at S.H. and was the most unprofesional thing I have ever seen. This all started from the time we walked in, but when the 2nd nurse came in to draw blood, and in the middle answers her cell phone (personal call) leaving everything hang from my wifes arm. I even made a comment to no avail, its allowed now. Notice I said second nurse, well the first one got in an argument with the Doc, then went home sick.
My Wife has complained to the head person, and all she says is, you got your service, right? So I guess if this women goes to a restraunt, and her food is burned, I guess it would besafe to say, you got your food, right? What a joke this place was!!!!!! I could go all day about the screw ups, like waiting for an hr for the meds to kick in. Doc comes in and finds out no meds have been given because we alertedhim, then waiting another hrfor the meds to kick in. Now the freakin mess of bills, we have no idea whats what, and have paid bills that ins. already paid, and these are bills they know have been paid. Ins is now investigating, we have stopped all payments with threats to be turned into collections, and to top it off, Wife never got her results, still have no idea what was wrong. Our ins pays 100% of E.R visit, but we have bills for everything, and bet if I look hard enough, might even find the cell phone charge during the blood draw. A joke and a scam!!!! |

You wouldn't believe the countless times that I've walked out of a business because of some of those reasons. I've stood at the register getting ready to pay when the phone would ring, only to be a acquittance or someone calling about a item and wanting a price. If they so much as say anything other then the likes of "please hold on" I'm out of there ( sometimes I'll actually tell them in a voice that others hear..."make them hold on...I was before them) . I worked for a auto jobber (family owned) in High School that, if he didn't teach me anything else, was...If a customer is in the building...he most likely has money in his pocket..and take care of him as fast and courteous as you can. Get his money as that is how we get paid.When I used to go to Wal-Mart, I've left buggies of groceries in a line (line too long) and walked out.

FeliX....I do that all the time...one exception...I'll ask..."did you go to school, did they teach BASIC math" all while laughing and shaking my head. Kids today (not all) are totally lost without a register that you punch in how much they have in their hand, and God forbid you hand them coin change AFTER they ring it up. :banghead:banghead:banghead

A while back, Wife and I stopped at pizza hut for the lunch buffet. No pizza, we waited, then got a slice since people were waiting. Wen't back, no pizza, waited and waited. Finally here comes some more pizza, but wait, no plates. We and other customershad to put our pizza ina bowl. All the customers were complaining about service, no drinks etc, and the place had maybe 5 tables going, so not busy. We finally just got up and walked out, and didn't even care about paying.
