I went shopping at Lowe's to scope out some
paint for the living room. I asked for a step stool to reach the top row of
paint swatches but was informed they could not provide one for liablity
reasons. Never mind they sell them here.
"Oh I see, it's fuck short people, whatever," I snorted and decide I am not getting anything there with only two choices of expensive paint. Jerry's has a better selection anyway and I can reach all the paint samples.
Disappointed, I head out to a sky filled with voluminous clouds. An older woman passing by winces at sunlight bursting out.
"It was snowing a minute ago and now this," she says with mild exasperation. The day of shifting decisions continues.
I haven't left the parking lot when it starts to hail so I stop at a MacDonald's for a snack. I am greeted by a sullen teenager with a nose ring like Ferdinad the bull who regards me with an impatient yet bored glaze as I take some time to settle on a small fries and coke.
"That will be $3.25." she informs me. I give her a five and a quarter thinking will make change easier. Not a chance. Instead she has to call her supervisor over to figure out the correct change. I am stunned at the level of incompetence, apparently they don't teach math in high school anymore. The super hands me the change.
I guess MacDonald's spent so much on remodeling the store they now have to resort to child labor. At least the fries are still good.

The world is a crazy place
I like the confused look on their faces when confronted with such complex situations lol
The other day I returned 24 deposit bottles. The kid had to whip out her phone so she could use the calculator to multiply 24 times 10! Kids these days!
Of course, they said the same thing about us.
I worked in a shop for 40 years but didn’t know the cash register could tell me the amount of change to give back. DUH! Luckily I knew how to count!!!!
