Incompetent employees

[Baal]

I work for Superstore, part of Loblaws in Canada, the largest grocery chain in the Country (well, there's only like three total anyways, but w/e).

I've seen a lot of lazyness, but I mean....working at a grocery store sucks. It's just so repetitive. I don't mind the job that much, but I work outside most of the time (freezing, but I dress warm) so I'm away from all the customers and such.

I've done my fair share of slacking too, I won't deny it, but no where near what other people do of course. I have this thing inside of me, I haven't decided if it's good or bad yet, but it's there. All it does is make me second guess every little decision I make regarding work related stuff. Such as the possible (sometimes outlandish) consequences of not doing something, or what people might think if I don't, etc. Part of it derives from my analytical personality.

It can get annoying but it usually helps me get the job done. Mainly the thing with my job is, if I don't do what I am required or supposed to do, it doesn't effect the customers, it effects the other people I work with. If I don't do something, they'll have to do it, so that usually motivates me pretty well. Despite the fact that I know they don't, for the most part, share the same feelings.

Bottom line, retail sucks, and please don't judge retail workers if you've never worked retail in your life.

I have come to the conclusion that Stern is a human being, and, in that sense, he is not so different from me. I had the pleasure of dining out at Wendy's recently. The teenager behind the counter was either high on drugs or completely retarded (or both).

Under a socialist society, it wouldn't get better though: The employee would have his job "guaranteed", and maybe work less harder, even though I find that hard to imagine.

Note to anyone in the city: DO NOT go the the wendy's on 34th and 8, it is a cesspool of filth, degredation and incompetance.

where i work, because of high staff turn over i see a loooooot of people come and go and over half of them are ****ing useless

when glass collecting on a night in a club aswell, you generally run about on the floor picking up glasses, run to the washroom, bung them in the washer, then stock bars...there used to be some bellend who worked there who would literally just stand about doing **** all

just because its a transitional job or a job people do to get extra cash, i don't think its fair to do it half assed

People don't care anymore. Now that they know they're going to die. The world will end, and people know it. It's finally starting to show, in there instincts.










Or people are just naturally lazy.

my mom is a pepsi junkie. i put her under a secret test in which i switched the lables of a diet pepsi and a normal one. needless to say, she noticed the difference in the taste. it was amazing.

Diet Coke, (Or Coca-Cola Light as it's known here in Sweden; they changed the English name to another English name for the Swedish customers, how stupid is that?) tastes like shit and makes me want to die inside. Anyone who doesn't recognise the difference as had his tongue cut out or something.

but wouldnt incompetancy in the air force lead to a lot of airplanes falling from the sky? you'd think that out of all the military branches that would be the most competent one


oh and with one sip I can tell the difference between diet and non diet anything ..diet always has a metallic/articifical aftertaste that's very distinctive ..and I hate diet coke

Well, for one Mochas aint that bad =P



For two, I'd say it takes a certain level of competence to keep a carrier floating. Or at least keeping the reactor from sploding.

heres a short incompetent customer story from earlier today. I work at a restaurant. The guy orders a meal then chats with his wife for a good half hour without touching it then asks the waitress if he can get a new one because this one was cold...

Anyone who drink diets... err.. It's dumb. They provide nothing. Basically no energy at all. It just hurts your stomach thats it.
