Is it me , or has the intelligence levels of people dropped significantly ?? Today I went out to get breakfast . I ordered a chicken biscuit . I got a biscuit with NO CHICKEN !!! The girl behind the counter looked genuinely confused when I brought it back ! Not too long ago I ordered a fish sandwich with cheese only (I hate tartar sauce ) I got back to work to discover I got a bun with a slice of cheese on it ! We have people around here who slow down when going thru GREEN LIGHTS , people who SIGNAL left and right when going thru roundabouts , people who STOP when entering empty roundabouts . I just don't get it !
People are genuinely vapid nowadays.
I was working on installing Polara APS pedestrian pushbuttons near Boeing Everett entrance the other day, and I had to notify pedestrians that I was working on their crossings, but, don't worry, they'll go to "WALK" even though there are currently no buttons to push.
I've got people with rainbow hair and shirts, Boeing badge, gauged ears and Boeing badge, all the newer gen of people (I am X) and every one of them was baffled. They were looking for a button, and couldn't understand my simple communication to them. Smooth brains. And, they have Boeing badges.
No wonder the aircraft are falling apart. Seems to be mostly charitable hires at Boeing to keep the diversity quota up.Very disappointing.
