Why is it that at every major outlet it seems more and more are staffed with highly inept workers. It must be a training problem since they used to replace bad people or at least shuffle them to off-hours and try to weed them out with scheduling.
I remember when customer service was part of those jobs, but it seems that along with the advent of online ordering, delivery, etc that the stores themselves feel less inclined to bother even trying to support the old business model despite having its doors open.
I feel like the best service I get these days is in small local stores which are owner operated, and that its a surprise when I get anything remotely reminiscent of the old way service was.
I remember you would walk into a book store and people were all excited about books, could suggest a book for the occasion, and typically were well versed in the different authors even if they weren't familiar with the books themselves, and usually you can find a couple cheery staff members still around, but in almost all other stores I seeing little to none.
It seems like they hire to match a checklist (probably diversity) and yet despite all the diversity, it seems they tend to settle for somewhat of a handful of the following:
- Broken English : They can learn on the job
- Visible Minority/Refugee : No neighbourhood kids anymore, gotta outsource
- Don't like the words "Hi", "Hello", "How are you", "How is your day going?" - Silence
- Don't make eye contact - except when asking for money
- Don't package things nicely, not caring about placement.
- Automaton-like behaviour - Kind of like tele-marketers
- Have no sense of self - cannot do anything except the 'way it is'
- Either shutdown over any disagreements or they go into repeat mode without any means to discuss "Sorry, I cannot do that. Sorry I cannot do that. Sorry I cannot do that."
- Hang out in packs - like groupies
- Never greet, acknowledge, build rapport, or anything remotely sales like to attempt the sales. Just raw numbers kind of grunt tactics.
Its what I would imagine when you think of the cheapest quality possible...why are they getting hired? They are constantly abusing the immigration system, hiring predominantly immigrants and its like we are watching a fucking franchise railroad of humans being employed, paid, and then subsidized because of their "low income" by our tax dollars.
I am in favour of social support systems....but for our local families, preferably those who aren't freshly immigrated from other countries to compete with people here and then inflate our economy by taking all the low income jobs, but being housed in packs. Meanwhile wherever refugees seem to immigrate, violence follows....
Makes you wonder if the refugees are fleeing or are being cast out.....

As someone who tries to donate to local homeless shelters, SPCA, and food banks, I find it annoying that the government has the gaul to send money oversees to fund a war, import refugees, incentivize and subsidize them and flood our communities with nothing but burdens, let alone all the stupidity like carbon taxes, etc, and then cannot even bother with basic support at home and cannot support our veterans, our own countrymen, and families in this season during the cold.
Civilization collapsing. Fall of every civilization starts with an incompetent workforce. The fucking Internet doesn't provide competency. This bullshit back n forth. Not our job it is another department from Timbuktu. Write email, use App. Not one innovation has been better. Least of all the service. It's hell bound.
But these rats today are an epidemic of catastrophe. A plague of stupidity. Nothing works well or does the job better. Not one automated innovation. They just get more expensive. Because it simply shoves more rats into a box bursting, services inundated with worsening services, regulation taking corrupt backhanders as a means of advancement or rent, but couldn't manage shit on a shovel, as a bunch of rats scrape away for a piece of cheese cannibalising each other. It all starts teetering.
Purposefully perhaps more stupid Internet services. No, fuck off. I don't care what Timbuktu has to say.
Old School annual training sessions:
Modem annual training sessions:
Your employees are learning retarded hippie crap, so they work like retarded hippies.
Actually - I think you spelled it out perfectly.
That actually is probably it.
I remember brief mentions on sexual harrassment (because who needs more than a fucking slide to understand it????? Rapists??? Why are we catering to these neanderthals?)
After an employee tried to help a customer and they got mad for being "misgendered" the employee stopped caring.
Audit one of the new Google courses on data analytics or something.
90% of it is about harassment, inclusivity, and just doing what management tells you without question.
The major retail outlets know that you are shopping there because of price. So they are going to give you the lowest price by minimizing on service.
Great employees won't stick around for that $0.25/hr raise at the end of the year or never getting enough hours to qualify for full-time benefits.
Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, spoke highly of immigration and that hiring immigrants prevents the formation of unions.
Liberal female HR departments seem determined to rid the workforce of toxic straight white males.
It infuriates me when people cannot see that immigration is a tax scam for the corporations to essentially import cheap labour and lower standards of living....They cannot unprogram the 'ethical' stuff.
They actually believe they are bad people if they say anything against immigrants because somehow....its charity to help these people.....fucking retards anyone who believes that....
NO GEOGRAPHY IS A CHARITY (HEY PALISTINE AND ISRAEL - GO FUCK YOURSELVES TOO ASSHATS)
If you are in a place of business, demanding people pretend to be your friend because you pay money to a corporation that employs them, you are there for the wrong reasons. Retail is not a service industry, and most of what you believe is just a construct to make people behave like machines. Sure it may seem pleasant to you, to have people act like characters in a daytime drama. But it's not real, and it's not normal. The robot like appearance of the employs you are complaining about, is simply them not agreeing to kiss your ass. So buy your shit and get out, because they are not your friends, and a corporate store front is not a society.
You want strangers to ask you about your feelings? Honestly, think about what it is you are doing. In turn you then expect them to lie to you, and tell you they're feeling great? Amazing. This is a society turned on it's head, where people like you expect strangers to be intimate with you. None of that is any of your business, and neither is your day any of mine when cash is involved.
Found the commie fuck face loser. Wow you must be treat. Got any holiday parties coming up? Haha. You are laughable. You know you are blocked by most people on here right haha 🤣
It's amazing how quickly you turn when someone in your thread isn't sucking your dick.
No, seriously. You're like a high school bully. Have I not shown you respect? Did you not ask for opinions? Did you consider anything I have said here, or did you simply react, lashing out emotionally?
Go back and read your response. Remove all the bitterness and what do you have left? Nothing. That's why. You had nothing to say. You said nothing....I found your opinion offensive and lacking depth and frankly full of all the negative garbage I despise in the average person.
Your 'deoth' was saying that people don't care about you....yet they have a job....so they should do it with respect and honour....something all people need.....regardless of the job....because real people who aren't retarded realise the value they provide....reatrded people and absolute losers are those who demand they get the executive job but cannot even handle a retail position.....
I assure you, I reread it several times while writing it, making sure to be as factual as possible, and express my understanding of social controls that I have observed over the years, and the false boundaries created to control the masses. I in fact had much to say, and only lacked a proper conclusion. The fact that you personally found this offensive is a failing on your part, and within you. Similar to how you have chosen to call it "negative garbage I despise in the average person."
Sir you made a thread rambling on about the employees you hate, and talking yourself up as a charitable and great person with high work ethics and stress management. And yet, somehow The stress of dealing with this one reply pushed you over the edge?
This is a conspiracy theory forum. And you are literally instructing me to go back and soften up my statements for you, to spoon feed it to you. Do you see the problem here? As there are multiple.
Yet, I don't have the time or energy for a deeper dive on the topic of you right now, so for the moment, Lets just deal with your current reply shall we?
What were you trying to say here? Was it 'Depth'? or 'Death'? it doesn't matter. As you are telling me how you interpreted what I have said, and not addressing what I have actually said.
See these? I don't fill those in. Those are gaps in your logic you are assuming I will bridge. But I won't. So all further quotes will omit them.
Wow. Now that's just unpalatable. It's like a woke Disney writer created a place holder script for the the motivations of the 'bad nationals white man'.
Now I claimed I was going to address this comment. But I'm having a hell of a time, as I can't make heads or tails out of it. It's all just disconnect fragmented bits of logic.
So I shall ask you, as I am at a loss. What is it that I am to take away from that? Is the l͔ͪesson, that you hate 'them'? Because I am picking that up very strongly. You have built up an image of a person you hate, and you are most earnestly expressing your hatred to me.
Now you Sir, go back and reread your thread, and try and figure out what your original point was. Because other than fishing for complements and the low hanging fruit of popular opinion, I'm not seeing one.
You hate employees? Got it! You demand to speak to life's manager? O.K! That's great! But I don't know what it is you expect from me. As I am not life's manager Karen!
^Ĥ̅͛ǝ̮̺͕̲̰llo ʍoɹlp' ^I,m Qnǝsʇᴉouɐqlǝ.̬̘̟ͅHe's got a point though.
When I was a wage slave and worked in a cubicle for a while, 20 people would walk by and say "Good morning good morning good morning how are you good morning"
After about ten good mornings to people i didn't like or care about, I'd stop responding.
I became known as "the guy who doesn't say good morning"
No. I'm the guy who gets straight to work in the morning while you make your rounds around the large office building talking to people until 11AM. Never did I believe you actually gave a fuck how i was doing. Some days it was cold, raining, and grey outside and traffic was a bitch and my coffee's cold. Some days it is not a good morning and I don't want to pretend it is.
Look...you never connected with those people....so why would feel appreciated, or liked? Saying 'how are you' and not actually meaning it.....is not what I am talking about....that is the same problem as I was complaining about.....useless incompetent workers who are keeping up fake appearances...they don't actually care...so they aren't asking you those things....they are saying words blindly....same as 'As the way it is' as above.....
Oh my God, this is such an underrated post. I know we all kind of talk about this specific stuff a little bit, but this is the first time I've seen somebody, outside of my immediate friends and family, describe the situation exactly as I see it. It's the most infuriating thing ever, especially the notion of the mindless drone, lacking self-awareness or any emotion. It is absolutely fucking bizarre for me, because I grew up in a world where everybody said "hey how's it going", and even if that was just a way of saying hello, people responded and everybody talked.
Nowadays, nearly all of the young people we encounter are mindless retards that just stand there with a blank, thoughtless stare, like idiots who lack an inner voice or even the capacity for abstract thought; just waiting for their next dopamine hit from Tick Tock videos, Marvel movies, and "adult" cartoons (e.g., Rick & Morty) when they get off work. I know it's not their fault because they were raised on soy beans and corn. In my opinion, a lack of testosterone is the primary issue, in both females and males. You can tell by their lack of cheekbone definition. I'm sure you know the specific Millennial/Gen Z mongrel look I'm talking about. I spent the longest time (years) wondering, trying to figure out why all of the young girls looked exactly the same. I thought maybe it was because they all wear the same ripped stonewashed jeans and pull their shorts/pants up to their tits. I eventually realized that it wasn't due to similar mongrel genetics or their style choices, but because of malformed facial bone structure, driven primarily by a lack of proper nutrition. They were not exposed to testosterone enhancing foods, like beef, often enough during their developmental phase, and there's no way to make up for that later in life. Hapless adult-children :/
Note: I have come across plenty of Millennials and Gen Z males and females who had great personalities and seemed just like the kind of people we all grew up around, but those people are the exception, except in intact (not yet meth-addicted) farm towns around the country.
The millenial 'look' is freaky. Notice how none of the men have facial hair anymore. They have maybe a mustache, but nothing on the cheeks - and this seems to be going until 25+
It used to be that kids would develop beards in their early 20's and usually could grow a full beard by 25 - punk, rock, metal, etc had tons of people rocking these beards for the past decades - now I am only seeing beards on people who are in their 30's.
I notice that people who are raised here are the ones who suffer the most of the gen-z effects, but the lack of communication seems to be everyone.
If anything - immigrants seems to only hang out amongst themselves and have very shallow group diversity. I feel like the diversity training is to make sure the immigrants play together nicely. White people are the victims of diversity training, but usually 5% of white people are what I consider to be problematic.
30-40% of immigrants at least have a racial bias and typically will disrespect other races far more than any 'white' person or anyone who was born and raised here - the exceptions are some very rural people who have a particular sense of humor which is considered offensive by anyone who is not from their communities (however no more than the immigrant groups).
I concur with pretty much all of this.
Side note (re: immigration): We lived in a place where there were a lot of immigrants from Yucatán and south of there (Guatemala, Honduras, etc.). I was always curious why they seemed so retarded (I'm talking these people couldn't even barely speak Spanish, let alone read or reason), so I started looking into IQ numbers and found that Guatemalans have an average IQ in the high 70s. That's like Life Goes On level IQ. I don't hate them or have anything against them, and at least their culture is semi intact, but I certainly don't want to import millions of them to fill American high school students' jobs, so that those students grow up as, essentially, wards of the state (after all, how else would you describe being in a state-run institution during 50% of your waking hours for the first quarter of your life?). They are also literally always pregnant. Every one of these guacamolean women you see are pregnant, starting at age 18.
Lack of facial hair and less masculine men is mostly due to phthalates. They effect at least 3 generations. Even if we eliminate them we'll still have about 100 years of soyboys.

a) nature sets itself apart from whole (process of dying) into partial (living), living (growth) within the process of dying (loss) represents ones struggle to sustain apartheid within wholeness, before becoming whole again.
c) the few suggest the many to ignore apartheid for coming together, hence e pluribus unum (out of many; one), tikkun olam (healing the world by bringing together), united states; united nations; european union; equality (same) through diversity (different); uniformity.
In short...tempting the perceiving one (single) to consent to the suggested we (plural) aka "we the people" destroys apartheid, hence the partial (living differences) within the whole (same process of dying).
Notice that the willing slaves of capitalism want more of the "same", while demanding it to be "different"...
Standards in becoming a Police Officer were dropped due to lack of minority applicants. In the early 1970's my father was a police officer in Oakland CA. Standards were forced to be lowered to appease the masses due to the issues at that time ( Black Panthers). Fast forward to today.......
Sad that money will corrupt the most moral people into selling out. Worst of all is it will never go away, can never be fixed.
Would you work at a retail store?
No. It's become a crappy stressful job that everyone avoids if possible,leaving only the dregs.
Also, the service industry is larger than ever, pulling in even more trash.
I spent many years working retail. I fondly think back on it actually. Most first time jobs are stressful for people who eventually go on to different work. Lifers are the exceptions.
--
I found retail only stressful on holidays myself. It was usually a pretty easy gig, little work, but steady expectations. I enjoyed the job and spent many years at it. It was fun - you essentially are trying to make people happy and buy things. Its not rocket science, but it require sincerity.
--
Government work was the easier job I have ever had the pleasure of working. So easy in fact I was volunteering for 3-4 companies while working for the government and was also working on my own side business and finishing my degree, so government work is fucking easy - far easier than retail, but I don't think back fondly on my government work - I do retail.
--
Consulting is far more stressful than retail. Pay is better, but not when you start out lol. It is like lawyers - you get used and abused by the firms for a few years and then you finally get to get paid something fair for your efforts, and eventually you get to go beyond, but it is stressfull as hell.
--
Startups are even more stressful, because you are constantly being sold by consultants who are trying to use your runway to keep themselves going + all the rest of the issues the business has to deal with. So retail is no hard......lmao
I hate to break it to you, but the service industry has changed in the decades since you were a teen. It's soul sucking and I wish it upon no one.
There's a reason zero local kids choose to work at such establishments. Plenty of other less awful options. Basically anything that doesn't have to interact with entitled retail customers is better.
Yeah I notice it. Hardly anyone knows anything.
It's almost as though we were put through a 3 year campaign of forced social distancing, and economic destruction, destroying the lives of anyone who resisted, and killing the older generation of workers, under the guise of building back better.
Clearly that didn't happen, so just like you, I'm at a loss to explain this.
a) KNOWL'EDGE, noun - "perception of that which exists"
b) the few suggest information to tempt the many to ignore perceivable inspiration.
c) the world isn't defined by what others are suggesting it means; the world is perceivable before each perceiving one comes to be in it. If one consents to suggested, then those suggesting it can define the world one believes in.
d) understanding suggested represents the inversion of growing comprehension within perceivable knowledge...only oneself can discern this.
Yeah, gosh, why aren't these losers trying their best. They're paid so much and their companies are so full of integrity
Why would I be nice to you or any random stranger when you were all wearing cuck masks, trying to force others to wear them, believing the obviously stolen election, and getting injected with poison to save you from a overhyped virus that you had a 99.97% chance of surviving if you just did nothing?
Once I learned that 9 out of 10 people are absolute fucking morons, even in red districts, I stopped being nice to people.
Also, my business is successful enough and busy enough that I do need to hire employees. But I refuse to hire them. Instead, I have to turn down work opportunities and work long days to satisfy existing customers.
Personally I'm glad we're moving past the point of creepy forced fake niceness and manipulative sales tactics in the typical store, plenty of people in the "customer" position don't like it either, myself included, I'm not going to ace hardware for a therapy session or to play make believe friends with the kid behind the counter, as long as they show basic levels of respect that's all that's necessary and I show them the same even when I'm frustrated, we're just doing business
a) EN'ERGY, noun [Greek; work.] - "internal or inherent power" aka the working foundation of everything .
b) the internal/inherent power within energy represents velocity (process of dying) generating resistance (living) aka loss generating growth as the internal/inherent sustenance (generation/regeneration) of energy aka a whole sustaining itself through the partials within.
c) the difference between perceivable work and suggested work...the former inspires one to grow resistance within perceivable, while the latter tempts one to spend resistance upon suggested. Working for others implies resisting energy being harvested by others, hence being tricked into a work"weak", while looking forward to the "weak"end.
COMPETENT, adjective - "suitable; fit; sufficient; a competent force; having legal capacity or power"...therefore...the process of dying represents competence, while those living within represent IN (being within) COMPETENCE (a suitable environment).
The lack of self discernment among the many is being exploited by the few suggesting them to be competent vs incompetent within suggested rules of behavior aka good goy vs bad goy domestication.
Everything (perceivable) fits everyone (perceiving)...one needs to discern that for oneself.
Why is one in a "lower" position when one consents to get "higher-ed" by others?
a) major (whole process of dying) generates minor (living partials)
b) outlet (perceivable) generates inlet (perceiving).
c) the few suggest major outlets to tempt the many to each consent to make minor inputs, which for the receiving few, shapes into compounded interest.
a) the support for subsidiary living represents the process of dying, within which the subsidiary struggles to support self, hence adapting to origin.
b) the few suggest the convenience of storing goods to tempt the many to ignore the inconvenience of ignoring to store goods...to grow goods; to maintain goods, and to sustain self by doing so aka to ignore the fruits of ones labors.
STORE, noun - "a large number; a stock provided"...aka ones growth (living) within oneness (process of dying) represents the perceivable store, while ones consent to a suggested store tempts one to become the accumulated "live-stock" of others, which can then be traded at the stock-market.
c) the few suggest convenience to breed inconvenience among the many. The stores aren't supported by income, but by the outcome of those consenting to the stores. A strong costumer is being tempted by convenience so that he becomes a weak costumer that can be harvested while being inconvenienced aka the few breeding the lack of resistance among the many.
The more you feed the cattle, the less they will resist the slaughter...
a) evaluation (living) can only exist at the center of value (process of dying).
b) consenting to suggested value (prices) devaluates ones choice of evaluation. The few are selling narratives to tempt the many to keep ignoring their self devaluation, hence prepping everything (perceivable reality) up with fake fronts (suggested fiction).
Reality implies constant loss (process of dying) while each one within represents the momentary opportunity of temporary growth (living), the few suggest progressivism (towards loss) as growth (expansionism) while utilizing any trick in the book aka any suggested fiction to trick the many to consent to ignore reality until they're too weak to resist the consequences of their own willing ignorance to sustain self as growth (living) within loss (process of dying) aka as resistance (living) within temptation (dying).
