I don't poast things like this to the list but this is a sad commentary about our society these days. This was passed to me by a friend. I know it takes all kinds to make this world go round but I can't see that these people will be here for long!!! It reminds me of when Iw as in retail and a young female customer asked me how much 50% off was on an item that was $10. Do we need to get back to basics?
I guess this is the non-dog item for the day. Recently, when I went to McDonald's, I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9, or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for half a dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets", said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have 6, 9, or 12," was the reply. "So I can't order a half a dozen, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered 6 McNuggets. The paragraph above doesn't amaze me because of what happened a couple of months ago. I was checking out at the local grocery store with just a few items, and the lady behind me put her groceries on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash registers, and I placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl scanned all my items, she picked up the divider, looking all over it for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" and I said to her, "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said, "Okay", and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue as to what had just happened. SURE MAKES YOU WONDER HOW THESE FOLKS CAN SURVIVE!!!!!!! A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When inquired as to what she was doing, she said that she was shopping on the Internet, and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy". I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked. "No, just this remote 'thingy'", she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries? It's a long walk." Several years ago, we had an intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing, and turned to the secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use the copy machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceed to make five "blank" copies. I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair, and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister". I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich. AGAIN, I ASK YOU, HOW DO THESE FOLKS SURVIVE????? <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]--> ____________________________________________________ http://www.incredimail.com/redir.asp?ad_id=309&lang=9 IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
