If you couldn't you leave it locked in the car. Work time is for working, that is what people get paid for.
Seems like he needs to be called out on it. And if you see him again in the future, talk to the store manager. I'm sure things wouldn't go well if he got hit by a car out in the lot.
Ah, the Darwin Award. Sadly some who deserve and earn it manage to procreate before they go.
Do you ever catch any of them?
What use is it if it never leaves the house? I keep forgetting my new smartphone in the house. I kept the old phone, a basic flip, in the car. We have no cell signal here so there was no reason to bring it in the house.
Hmm that’s true. I’m sure I’d be able to. As much as I get stuck using it sometimes and take forever to get started or go do things because of it, once I do finally get started, I work really hard at stuff ha so I’m sure I could put it down and actually work. In fact, I’d probably be one of the only ones actually working.
Sadly it seems everyone is on their phones doing nothing at work these days. Especially at places like the movie theater or Subway or something. Granted, at those places, sometimes there is nothing to do for long periods so it’s maybe more okay to do until there’s a customer but still. Even then I think I’d find something to do.
Today we went to Lowe’s and my mom went to look for grass seed while I sat inside and anyway, she told me later about how she went up to this kid in the booth thing in the garden section and asked him if he knew where the grass seed. Kid, maybe 18, basically goes “uhhh no sorry I don’t know where that is.” And that’s it. Doesn’t offer to help her look for it or ask if he can call anyone else or anything. And one grocery store we go to there’s often kids just hanging around talking/doing nothing. Seems to be a recurring theme. Hiring young kids that don’t care. And the stores don’t seem to care either since they never get fired or in trouble.
Guess maybe they just need bodies.
But meanwhile, I often find myself literally fixing/rearranging stuff when I go into stores. Find stuff in the wrong spots or whatever, put it in the right spot, etc. sometimes do it at
Walmart or the grocery stores. I’ll notice it seems the kids or whoever is stocking will just see that something is already in that spot and assume that’s where it goes and just put the rest there. Well, often it’s not and they just don’t care. Or maybe are being rushed, idk. Seems there’s more of a demand to just get the stuff out than necessarily in the exact right place. Anyway, they don’t check the little label on the shelf or whatever. I do and sometimes find it in the wrong spot and fix it. Not my job but it annoys me and I do it
sometimes I find books in the wrong section at the pet store and put them in the right one. You know, like somebody put a bird book in the rodent book shelf, or a cat book in the dog books, or even worse, sometimes a dog book in the bird book section (those two are all the way across the store from each other) or something and I’ll walk all the way across the store and put it back. One time there were some seeds pack things on an end cap in the wrong spot at the store but they were just all mixed in with other packs and they just put more where they saw other seeds were. Well I fixed it and put them all in the right one and found 2 of the things were actually empty. Not my job but I do little stuff like that all the time. I should really be getting paid for it.
So many people now just don’t care. Mostly the kids but some older people too. But it’s almost like they don’t want you to care. They just want you to shut up and do the work. Or not do it. Just stand there. Whatever. They don’t care ha
And ehh, yeah he probably does but I don’t want to get him in trouble and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen him so I don’t really wanna start something or go to the manager or anything. I probably should but I hate going to managers or any sort of complaint/conflict/awkward situation at all even if it’s for his own safety haha plus I don’t think he’s the only one and a lot of them just hang out inside anyway ha but I think if I see him sometime what I might do rather than go to his manager and get him in trouble is I may stop him and tell him myself that he should really watch where he’s going/put that away but like be nice about it, say I just don’t want him getting hit or something. Idk. But I doubt I’ll see him again. If I do though I’ll do something.
And you are so right! There are sadly many, many people who should not have kids that do. :/
You have no signal!? Then what do you do!?
