Just today, I realised that some Dumb people can actually be Stupid.
A staff came to me, in a panic, because she failed to find a specific product. She kept pointing to the shelves where she thinks they ought to be. After I left her ramble on for a minute or so, I wordlessly pointed to the other shelves which was just 6 feet away. Her eyes widened and followed my finger.
OK, so, problem solved but... she rambled on again about not able to find the product in question. So, yeah, rinse and repeat, until I said, "Its just right there. In front of you. The ones with the yellow labels."
If I wanted to be funny, I could say that I can actually her the cogs inside her hear head crunching. Yes, crunching, not turning. But no, because that would be impolite and cruel to cogs. However, I must give credit where it is due because unlike her predecessor, she was slightly quicker by about 2.5 seconds. Still, I'd give her 2 out of 5 stars as she admitted twice in the same sentence, that she did not see the other shelf even if it was right in front of her. Sadly, the same statement was repeated again when she admitted walking past it a few times.
In my impatient experience, it is very difficult to communicate with these type of people. You can never imagine how hard it was for me to just fall down to their level of thinking. Its like walking with them and suddenly, they're ten steps behind because there were some flowers or a small dog at the roadside. You have to turn back and condescendingly explain to them those are poison ivy and that is an angry bull. Even right in front of me, they cannot even understand basic jokes which in my mind, I can clearly see it sprout wings and fly over their head. And when I repeat the joke to their blank faces moments later, it flew back and crash landed with all the poor vowels being burned alive and screaming consonants.
At the end of the day. we're all working together and if I need to think highly of her, she might need to start wearing 5 feet shoes...
