Question

I want to rant a bit...I'm in retail currently, and I have to say I'm surprised by the number of people who:

do not know their own phone number
do not understand how a coupon works
do not read anything, anywhere, at anytime
do not carry their wallet into the store
do not know how to use their own bank card

The idiocy is exhausting...

End of Rant...

Answer 1

I have come across the not knowing the phone number thing in my business. Also clients don't know their own address or box number at the post office (we are rural so most of us have to get our mail from the post office).

When I used to train new employees at a former place of work, where we had to calculate billing amounts by hand, none of the new employees knew how to calculate the tax (GST). They didn't even know what the percentage is and as adults they have been paying GST many times in their lives.

When I tutored young adults, it really baffled me that none knew the basic times table. They had to use the calculator to figure out 1 x anything. Aaarrgghhh.

Answer 2

I don't know my phone number. I have never called it, and if I did it would be busy, so what's the point.

Answer 3

And the saddest part is that lately, so many seem to embrace their ignorance.
