Good morning, TOTVers,

First of all, thank you to those who actually know stuff about forklifts for participating in the actual conversation.

Also, a thank you to those who were wise enough to grasp the situation and surmise that training should have been better. That’s what I thought, too……….

Those kids thought they were doing OK. They weren’t. That’s why I talked to them directly. I am pretty nimble — but there could have been some not-so-nimble or vision impaired or hard-of-hearing customers in that long, narrow aisle. There was not much margin for error and had there been an accident, not only would someone have been seriously hurt, but those two kids’ lives would have been changed, too.

TOTV still has some posters capable of conversation and sharing opinions with reasoning.

But……..

TOTV also has a lot of posters who are so easy to poke into predictable, obnoxious responses that have nothing to do with the subject at hand and everything to do with their going around in azz-on-shoulder mode, trying to make themselves feel better while trying to make others feel worse. (I see that as their problem not mine, but I know those types keep some others from posting.)

This thread has the usual examples of venom — from Mr. Shorzenabunch (of which there are more than one around here) to, ironically, someone who said I need to volunteer with the homeless???? (Hey! Virtue-Signaler, I WAS doing good work. Maybe I saved somebody from being a victim of carelessness. And yet you think I am one of those who cares only about themselves. Look around. Geez.)

TOTV is free theater. And I can’t seem to give up my seat.
