In my retail business I deal with a lot of phone calls and a lot of in person service and advice work. The customers inquire about the maintenance of their equipment and such. Most of my experience in the last ten years of this store has been pretty good, we have great customers and they pay. Lately though, I have noticed just how dumb the interactions have been, on the phone or in person. Simple stuff that they should know as an owner of their stuff, and I’m explaining it to them like they’re retarded. These people have owned their product longer than I’ve been in the industry and I am telling them something they should know. Also, they call and literally cant spit out what they mean. I’m becoming very frustrated and I’m questioning if I’m just getting burned out and they’ve always been this way, or if they are really getting dumber. Maybe both. I can’t quit, I own the place. I can however, change the trajectory of the business by cutting out this high demand part of the store. We have five categories. Two have been cut in the last four years and those departments were 25 and 45 years old, respectively.
I have noticed jabbed people, and heard about this before I noticed it, starting to talk over others randomly. like people will be talking and someone asks a question or whatever and then while someone else is talking the jabbed start talking over them ignoring everyone else. My father is getting older but last year I was visiting with him and he asked me a question and as I started answering he just started talking over me about something else like he forgot the question he was asked and didn't realize I was talking
They are getting dumber, and they've also always been this way. I worked at a sandwich shop. I've had a plurality of customers ask if we have things like mayo or tomatoes. At a sandwich shop. You have no idea how bad I've wanted to pretend to not know what mayonnaise is just to hear them try to describe this two ingredient, ubiquitous condiment. It would be funny if it happened to someone else, but I just found myself wanting to slap people until my arm got tired.
Questions like how big is a six inch sandwich would make me want to hop over the counter and slap someone to death.
Just got a sandwich at a shop today. 3 women behind the counter one in the back, still took ages to make my one sandwich. It was agonizing watching the slow pace of it all. And the questions at every. Single. Step. As if they forgot the order putting on a single slice of cheese.
I prefer White men in their 20's work there, but that would pull their talent and drive from a more deserving job. At least I would get my sandwich some time this side of the next ice age.
Yesterday, hardware store: slovenly roastie slathered in tatts behind the counter...I ax her for 2 bags of concrete, 40 lb bags. She rings up 4 bags of 80 lb bags. I told her THREE FUCKIN TIMES, slowly, what I wanted until she finally got it together. Oh, and the store reeked of weed. The dude that helped me find something was high as fuck. This is a very conservative White area. I smell weed in traffic constantly, my van got filled with the nasty stench as I was driving behind a plumber on the way back to the job site. All potheads get the fuckin rope.
Sounds familiar. Took some foreigner cashier 5 times to ring up an onion correctly. Maybe she thought I would just pay the difference. Negatory. I don't care if it's a 12 cent difference. Nope. I just wanted to be so catty and say does it look like I have food stamps? Fuck you. I even said I don't want it anymore after the third try but she kept going.
Absolutely retarded it took several attempts and a photo to get 1 onion.
I remember years ago, I went to a bakery to get a few of my favorite cookies. I go to the counter, point to what I want "because I never knew the name), and tell her I wanted half a dozen. She was probably in high school and didn't know how many half a dozen is.
I've noticed it everywhere. Especially young kids working retail. Doesn't matter what you're buying. Sandwiches come out wrong, any little mindless task takes 1/2 hour. I've wondered if i've gone all boomer in my old age, getting frustrated with people. I worry about them driving, i am always trying to figure out if people are going to space out and veer into my lane these days lol
My wife noticed the same thing with her co-workers and I've noticed the same thing with the way people drive their cars nowadays. The vaccine has definitely dumbed people down, but it seems to have spared anyone who only took one dose.
Here in N Florida, so many drivers are flat out insane. If they have a slight chance to change lanes and get an extra foot or two ahead, then they are stuffing themselves into that spot at all cost.... Morning commute traffic keeps about 90% of drivers at or near the speed limit, but the other 10% are making life and death decisions at or near 90mph with not a care in the world.. Recently something has (mRNA?) scrambled their cranium and the aggression seems to be off the chain!
I stopped dealing with the consumer side of business around 2020. Business to business transactions can involve egos and shady games but at least it's not pure idiocy and attempting to find stupid ways to weasel out of financial responsibilities
Pretty much. My mother's dementia has advanced rather quickly since she allowed herself to be vaxxed and boosted four times. I have several older cousins who've also been vaxxed, one's had a pretty bad time of it, while several others were showing the first signs of dementia two years ago in the few times I've interacted with them. At this point, I'm keeping my distance from all of them.
-It's not just the jew juice injections, it's the increased social isolation. Many people still hide at home, terrified of getting within 6 feet of others. Parties, hanging out with frenz etc doesn't go on like it used to. Most convos have been reduced to short texts with emojis.
I think jab dementia could be a thing, I predicted it when they explained the function of the jab in in august of 2020; but I think they are also putting something in the water, they are dumping something into the water supply to make us docile and stupid they likely have been for some time but I think they have been upping the dose since biden won.
I think it’s the other way around. Retards were very willing to get the jab. Well, because they are retarded. My family and friends who got the shot, all know I think they are retards now, with all the new evidence coming out, they are starting to agree.

I've noticed in the past year or two, that lots of people have trouble talking. I hate when someone is talking and I already know what they are trying to say, before they can get it all out because of the "ummms" and "you knows".
University trained teachers Kindergarten to college where smart people were replaced by absolute morons long ago and television where long ago every small child was dropped in front of to learn that learning meant official people put whatever they wanted to put in their head and that was learning. All life was that afterwards.

Last time I went to KFC (in the 90s) I was greeted with "we're out of chicken".
Never thought I'd have to wonder if Kentucky Fried Chicken had CHICKEN.
