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.

    Giving new staff members a fake task similar enough to be taken seriously is a common form of workplace hazing and young coworkers who bounce between part-time jobs might have been humiliated before. Example: polka dot paint, left handed screwdrivers

      Lol yeah but as far as I know nobody does that where I work.

      Also like, if I write on a special order form to give this customer 20% off cuz their last delivery was late, idk why you’d think that is a secret trick that you need to verify with me six times.
