Customers Suck! wtf

does something cause customers brains to turn off when they walk into a store? all of a sudden they forget how to read and follow instructions? they don't understand how coupons work, they don't read expiration dates, they don't read price tags, store signs? they need an employee to hold their hand for everything? and then people complain that adults are not learning to be independent. i understand if it's a persons first time, but I'll get the same customers coming in and asking the same shit over and over again. there's people who walk into the store, and haven't even taken a step into any aisle and will ask someone "wheres this item?" because theyre too lazy to look and read

Just normal retail customer stuff. It just gets worse as they age too. I've just come to accept a lot of this stuff, to protect my own sanity.

This is why I don't wanna hear anything about kids not reading because grown literate adults are out here refusing to read signs and read things.

Oh, I assume that those particular people are simply stupid. Laziness can be corrected and ignorance is curable; but, stupid people seem to remain stupid.

Oh my god yes. People are insanely needy and unwilling to participate.
