I’ve noticed it becoming more common these days when at the till with a quantity of produce items for verification, the assistant asks me, ‘how many in there..?’ I respond, ‘half a dozen’.

Cue the blank look. It’s happened a few times now where I automatically just rattle off either a dozen or half dozen and get a weird look.

If it’s a ‘younger person’, I just say the quantity of 6 or 12, as appropriate.

Is that dying out of common conversation ?

I also booked a haircut for noon and again it was clear the person didn’t really know how time that was. Perhaps I’m becoming an old geezer 😄

I keep getting ads for it in my feed about how you can ‘become your own boss’ work the hours you want to with uncapped commission ( no salary).

There’s a territory opened up near me. I had thought about applying as I want to step down from my current job and work fewer days (mid fifties). Am veteran sales person so no stranger to the world of sales.

But my experience tells me that likely there will be minimum targets and KPI’s in order to ‘have the territory’?

No doubt whatever territory or regional manager will be cracking the whip in any event?

Just wanted to ask if anyone had worked for them and what their experience was. Thanks.
