I can totally sympathize and although I try not to go out now, I really need to start avoiding stores now that the crazies are coming out. Four employees at Lowes asked if they could help me tonight while I was comparing 2 brands of light bulbs. Not a single one of them knew anything about lightbulbs (yet they sure *thought* they knew more, by reading the box, duh). The reason I was there was that they had already sold my husband the WRONG lightbulbs and he was on the ceiling hanging his new light, so I had to go. The kid held my purchase so he could do an "exchange" and then did a return and purchase anyway, which took twice as long. Ugh! If these places would just pay an extra $2 an hour they could hire some decent people! |
OMG i can TOTALLY symphathize. I went to Petco to buy my new Cockatiel bird food. I had already bought seeds and someone told me to buy pellets as well cause they are healthier. So I go in and there are all these different types of cockatiel pellets. I've never bought them before So I ask someone working there 'Which of these pellets are the best kind?' The employee goes 'I don't know' . Well gee thanks A LOT! lol I don't know why they even hire them . Then he goes 'Oh I have a cockatiel too' so I go 'then what do you feed it?' He goes 'You know...just bird food'
