I work retail, and customer and fellow employee alike have no ability to google fucking anything, and this isn’t bound by any age bracket or demographic. Young and old alike, half my job is googling shit for them, I’ll do it in front of them in an attempt to be like “see you can do this yourself next time” and it never works. People will call my shop and ask me to google the phone number and directions TO OTHER STORES!

I forced a younger coworker to google a question he asked me yesterday and I swear I heard the fucking 2001 Space Odyssey theme played as he realized you can find information to answers your questions yourself!

  • the other thing that shits me is people use searches for everything, which shocker use electricity (i think a 'google search* uses enough power to keep a lightglobe on for a minute?), like everything we do online. And then I’ve had people send multiple single line messages over discord (🤢) to make an argument about how no one should ever use AI for anything ever

    don’t people on hexbear share this stance also?
