This really hits home with me. I worked at McDonald's for 4 (count 'em, 4)
long years. One of the few reasons I stayed on was (a) good money and (b)
good hours.
Anyway, I can assure you that some of the DUMBEST people in the world work
in fast food. There are usually only just a few things on their minds:
. When do I get to go on break
. When can I sneak a smoke in the breakroom
. When can I sneak a burger into the stockroom and munch it
. When do I get off
. When is payday
I can't describe the frustration of trying to explain to these people how
to use the electronic cash registers. Or how to build a burger in the correct
order.
>How does the clerk respond? "Is that all?" (You say "yes.") "Is that
The concept of suggestive selling is religiously drilled into all cashier
types. I found myself saying such things automatically, out of habit.
Thank goodness I work at a computer helpdesk. Now I can work with DUMB
people who THINK they're smart.
