Working retail, I don't understand how certain people function without a wage slave following them around wiping their ass for them (hexbear.net)

These people are incapable of even remedial problem solving. How do they do anything? If they're home along and hungry I doubt they could even open a box of mac and cheese much less prepare it. How'd they fuck they even get to the shop? They don't seem competent enough to operate a motor vehicle and navigate a road system.

People not understanding basic pointing is wild. But also basic directions don't work. So you have to physically guide them to the item.

Also they don't know numbers... Like what aisle is this in? Tell them the number... And what's a number... Like holy shit you can count right? Like 1 to 10?

And reading prices or names on a tag, completely impossible for these smooth brains. Basic math? Impossible.

    I don't mean this as an attack; given the functional illiteracy rates basically everywhere in the west I'd say there's a good argument they just actually can't in the sensory assault nightmare that is your average supermarket

    Ricky didn't learn to read like a normal person does. He learned around the house cooking things, frozen food things all the instructions are numbered 1: Do this 2: Do this, That’s the way Ricky leaned to read so it’s the only way he can understand.
