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.
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).
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.
