Stupid People

Is it just me or are there more stupid people in this world today than ever before? Look around you, I'm sure you can see one standing or sitting close by to you at this very minute. I work with many stupid people at my "other" job. It's retail people, not rocket science.

Here is just one example of the stupidity of my "Co-workers". At the end of the night there is a checklist of things that needs to get done. I wrote it, I know what is on it. You, my stupid co-worker, are responsible for doing what is on that checklist while I do my work. My job is to check and make sure you do your job after I complete my job. If the checklist says to take the hangers out back, sort them and neatly put them away, then do it that way. Do you really think I won't notice that you just wheeled a seven foot hanger tower to the back of the store and walked away from it? If you knew I would see it, did you think I would say good enough. How hard is it to move one bar of hangers from the tower to the holding area? (Let me tell you - NOT HARD)

Why, my stupid co-worker, would you then be mad at me for telling you you could not leave until the job got done? If you needed to leave you should have done the job right the first time. We have been doing this every night since September 1, it is not a new task. Please do not huff at me, I hear you. If you think this job is too difficult or beneath you, then wait until your next job assignment from me. How does a trash run in 5 degree temperature work for you?

I'll say it again, it's retail not rocket science......
