Absolutely mate, I remember one job having to carry around one of those ‘time and motion’ things (going back to the 90s here though so maybe you don’t remember them), but they were a pain in the arse, daft thing was, you could still manipulate them to highlight areas YOU wanted to highlight so not sure how true and accurate they ever were.If you've worked in that environment you'll know it's all about ticking fucking stupid boxes.
The 30 second salutation used to fuck me off (ok not quite 30 seconds)...they just got "Hello fraud" from me.
Oh remember them and much more 1981-2012 & a full gambit of jobs within the system.Absolutely mate, I remember one job having to carry around one of those ‘time and motion’ things (going back to the 90s here though so maybe you don’t remember them), but they were a pain in the arse, daft thing was, you could still manipulate them to highlight areas YOU wanted to highlight so not sure how true and accurate they ever were.
Trans people.....?As well as people driving everywhere, there's now the issue of people having unhealthy food delivered to their doors as they can't even be arsed walking to the shops to buy the ingredients to rustle up a simple meal, or walk to a takeaway if they feel that way inclined.
Where is this laziness going next? Feeding robots to stuff you full of trans-fats while you lie in bed?
It's got even worse now, with fatties on mobility scooters driving them down the frozen food aisle in Tesco.
(Other supermarkets are available).
These types will drive on the road when it suits them though.Some fat very entitled cunts on these machines too. Stopped on the pavement of a quiet side street briefly for a breather when carrying heavy bags, some fat bugger who'd just played golf pulled up behind me and stopped. All of the pavement has a dropped curve and because it was a quiet street there was no traffic.
He could have simply driven around me but had to pull up to wave his "disability entitlement" about.
And why are they limited to twice the speed of walking not the actual speed of walking?
I caused a major incident in B&Q with this a few years ago. Id bought a box of tiles and they were all broken on one corner so took them back and got in this queue about 12 deep. Eventually got to my turn and the lady asked how she could help. I got 4 words into explaining when the phone rang and she answered it and started a full conversation with another customer on the blower. I leaned over and put my finger on the phone and turned it off. I said you can help me by dealing with me, like you were, not them. She panicked and looked like Id pissed on her kids and acted like I was an active shooter causing a terrorist incident.I remember decades ago when I worked at the job centre, they had this ‘thing’, whereby if your phone rang, you had to pick it up within about 3 rings, some kind of performance indicator.
I had no problem with that, but I asked, what if someone is sat in front of you talking and you’re dealing with their problem when it rings, expecting the answer to be “oh yes, it doesn’t count then”, but no, you had to cut the person off who was sat in front of you and answer it, you know, the person who had bothered to get up off their arse to come in and sort a problem out, not the one who just thought ‘fuck it, can’t be arsed physically going down so I’ll just pick up the phone’.
Could never really get my head around that one, especially on a courtesy level, needless to say I didn’t last long there and turned down their offer of a permanent job.
Tbh if someone had done that to me back then Wally I wouldn’t have had a single issue.I leaned over and put my finger on the phone and turned it off. I said you can help me by dealing with me, like you were, not them.
The Welsh Mobility Scooter jousting team have just had motors reduced from 8pmh max to 5.5mph in line with Government policy.What if they are jousting in the frozen food aisles?
Just had a lady in spoons tell me it's company policy not to let customers try Abbott ale before they buy . It was really embarrassing for her when I said she better tell her manager to remove the try before you buy sign in front of the Abbott.
