I was shopping with my girlfriend and her roommate not too long ago at a retail store in a nearby mall called "Zellers' (there are some who have never even heard of it) when I was faced with yet again another incompetant employee who only got the job because she was a female and she had boobs (she sure as hell didn't get the job because she was able to do the job very well). It went like this. I was buying two $7.50 posters that I found while my girlfriend was buying herself a fifty cent objectthat she found in a bargain bin. My girlfriend walked up to the counter first where a female worker (who I knew from years before, and she's just as big of a bitch now as she was before) and put the fifty cent object on the counter so that the worker could ring it up. It's obvious that she was a trainee because she had a more experienced worker behind her guiding her through the process (even though the person who was guiding her had just recently graduated, I figured they'd use someone older to do the training, but whatever). Anyways, to make a long story short, I stood behind my girlfriend for ten whole minutes while this super bitch spent the whole time trying to figure out how to work the machine just so she could ring up a fifty cent object. She kept pressing the wrong buttons and had to start the process over again and again to the point where I was ready to do a little shoplifting to save myself some time (rather than money). The funny thing is that my girlfriend used to work there a year before (eventually quit) and even she was trying to help this dipshit employee so that she would go faster. Even though she had two people directing her on how to work the machine, punch in the totals, and get the final price and change etc. (you know, shit that a lobotomy patient could figure out with a little help), it still took a good portion of my life for her to finally finish this one simple task. Once my girlfriend had her object rung up through the machine, then it was my turn to go through (which would result in the loss of the rest of my teenage years). The thing was that it was well into the day and I saw her at that machine waiting on other people when I first arrived. She had plenty of customers come up to her, enough customers that she should have at least figured out how to do her job properly enough. As if all of this was bad enough, her lane was the only lane, out of twelve other lanes, that was actually open at that time, which meant everyone was forced to have to piss their time away on her incapability to do her job.
What pisses me off about this scenario the most? The fact that she was hired for this job over probably a hundred other applicants that applied for the same position (including me, but I applied for the job over six months prior so that would probably explain why I didn't get it). But the thing is if she was hired over everyone else who applied, this town is filled with more idiots than I previously thought. My best guess would be that this is yet again another case in which she was hired because she was A) a female, B) she had boobs and C) because she seems like the type of person who would scream bloody murder about discrimination against females if she was turned down. What a bitch. I'm tired of seeing intelligent people (as well as myself) being turned down when they apply for jobs, only to find out that these jobs are going to idiots who can't even do long devision (no exaggeration). I say, if you see someone who works at a job who constantly fucks up at everything they attempt to do, and you're currently unemployed, no matter how many jobs you apply for, then it's time for a petition and boycott. Who's with me?
