The most incompetent person I’ve ever met

I work at a local dessert store in my area. The job is very easy and I like it as my job for right now.

but we’ve recently hired at 17 year old boy, and he makes everything so much harder. Training new employees always takes time and isn’t the best, but once they’ve been there a while they usually know what to do, expect this guy…

I genuinely can’t comprehend how someone can end up like him.

He talks nonstop, he follows everyone else around constantly, make complainy remarks about being told to do menial tasks, is super slow, doesn’t know how to clean anything, forgets tasks almost immediately, and is just obnoxious

He isn’t a bad kid by any means, but oh my god I don’t know how his parents let him be like this.

We’ve had to get home him multiple times about talking and staying on task, he apologizes, and then goes right back to his nonsense.

examples

me: hey can you do the dishes? They are pilling up and we are about to get busy

him: awww! I hate doing chores!

me: (in my mind) this isn’t chores, this is your job

me: just go do the dishes please

him: *puts the dishes in water and then walks away, he didn’t even spray the food particles off of them*

example 2

him: *sweeps the front so it can be mopped*

manager: *goes up to the front and sees that there are food crumbs and spoons everywhere* *sweeps again and then gets on him about not sweeping*

apparently he just swept the middle of the room instead of the corners and under the tables

i’m not the only one who feels like this either, literally everyone else at my work also feels like this. people will actively try to get their shifts covered just so they don’t have to work with him.

edit: everyone else who works here is also between the ages of 16-20. Just seeing how different he is compared to everyone else is the astonishing part.

Walmart tops just don't work sometimes

I had to get a new wardrobe because of a job change. I wanted to be nice to my wallet, so I went to Walmart to see what they had.

I walked away with basically nothing. Even when I pulled larger tops, they didn't drape well, and weren't long enough to cover my stomach.

Don't even get me started on the swimsuits... ugh. The bikinis can't cover anything; it looks so bad. I don't want to wear one-piece swimsuits my whole life, but I don't trust buying swimsuits online because I can't try them on.

I know there are technically better places, but I wish I could have the convenience of Walmart.

It's just so annoying.

(22yo) I’m feeling very lost in life

I had a whole plan, but the internship I needed didn’t work out. I thought I had it in the bag, but I never got a response. I even applied to more, but again, no response.

I just feel very lost and mediocre. I feel like everyone around me is progressing faster than me, or getting opportunities I never knew about.

I have a job now that’s good money for right now, but I don’t know.

am I expecting life to happen too fast? will time help?
