He asks them where he can find a "left handed hammer."
All three employees starting using their phone to find where the "left handed hammers" are kept in the store.
I’m not that old. A millennial. But we’ve reached the pit with Gen Z as far as customer service and just...the basic-ness of anything is concerned.
This pains me. This is everywhere.
Actually, Home depot does haved a device that employees use to locate items in that particular store, as to aisle and bin# its not actually a phone, although that could work I suppose.
To know exactly which bin everything is located is a daunting task and long time employees do know—newer ones barely know which direction to the bathroom so if they are newer employees, I am glad they are looking up where the left handed hammers are—and I even have them take me there—even better!
They are all just kids. How many here have been sent on similar quests? In the airdale Navy we sent the newbie after a gallon of prop wash or 50 feet of flight line. We had the mail buoy watch and sent them after a BT punch. And left-handed hammers of course.
well it is better than my time in the Navy!! I was told as a boot shortly after joining my ship(MM Engine room) to go ask BT1 for a BT Punch. Being they were working on a pump trying to get a taper pin out it made sense to me... I went and asked... I had a bruise on my chest for 3 weeks!! He didnt hold back!!
Thats the school of hard knocks!! kids learn faster that way!!
I work at Home Depot part time and I work with this nonsense every shift!! I learned where EVERYTHING in that store is by going to the customer service desk throughout my shifts getting the returns for EVERY department and putting them away!! If anyone comes into the store needing help I personally walk them over to where the item is!! I have NEVER ONCE had to use my phone to look up where an item is!! The kids today don’t know customer service because they use the damn phones for everything, they haven’t developed personalities, they have no idea how to chat up the customers or make them feel welcome!! I know this is going on everywhere because my customers are SO GRATEFUL for service they thank me profusely!!! My store is starting to hire a lot more seniors for this very reason we didn’t come out of the womb with a phone in our hands!!!
I believe it.
Send the new guy to the lumber company for a brick stretcher
Also a saw faster than a worm drive.
Rite of passage
That may be possible for electronic hammers.
Oh sure, NOW you tell us...
I’m a millennial. I was born at the beginning of the generational divide, but I honestly relate more to Gen X than I do other millennials. I’ve often wondered why over the years but in the past decade it’s become quite clear.
Excuse the expression but my generation is a bunch of dumbasses. And Gen X has far, far more common sense.
I think that might be why.
They aren’t common, but left-handed hammers do exist.
This always struck me as humor for stupid people, there is an endless vocabulary for specialized tools that we don’t know and it is easy to ask someone for a Cross Pein Hammer or a dead blow hammer and that person won’t have any idea what you are talking but but they assume that you do and will look for it and they wouldn’t know if a rack hinge hammer exists or not, they just assume that you do if you are asking for it.
