Meant as a light hearted comment I know, but honestly, way too many can't write, can't read, can't spell or make change, but by far the most disturbing is the number who can NOT concentrate even when looking directly at someone ? Don't know the root of that, too use to ear buds ? I have noticed way too many people who do, as someone else commented, look directly at you, take an order or, "seem" to listen to a request, or question about an item you are considering purchasing, and then ASK YOU the very same thing, it is concerning that so many appear to listen but nothing "registers". At a recent fast food visit, I very clearly ordered a plain chicken sandwich, which my understand has always been that would mean no condiments, sauces, etc. Took the order and then asked if I wanted anything on the sandwich... apparently I was wrong to use "plain", out dated term. Should have spoken clearly, NOTHING on the sandwich please ? Or,LOL, would that have indicated I did not want the chicken on the "sandwich" ? This whole "new speak" has us old folks confused... LOL !
