That’s a pet peeve of mine, that you go in some stores, and the people who work there can be clueless about the products their stores are selling. I wonder about what training, if any, they give their employees about the merchandise they sell.

she was obviously an affirmative action promotion. and to make matters worse, her bf was in the department, and routinely showed up too drunk to function and spent most of his shift in the back room sleeping it off.

I think the best example of is Radio Shack. I'm old enough to remember being able to go there to pick up electronic components (and get my free battery, using my free battery card,) and be able to ask the employees about any electronic projects I happened to be working on at the time.

Back then, the RS motto was "You have questions, we have answers," and they took it seriously. Today, if you can find a Radio Shack, it's "You have questions, we have blank stares."
