Brain Is Not In Moperation
Ice Cream Shop | Working
| April 8, 2013
(We have recently hired a new coworker, and this is my first shift with her.)
Me: “[Coworker], could you go mop?”
Coworker: “I don’t know how.”
Me: “Okay. Just take the bucket over to the mop sink, fill it up with hot water, and add dish soap and a splash of bleach.”
(My coworker does so, so I go around and start doing the other closing duties. A few minutes later…)
Coworker: “What do I do now?”
Me: “You mop the floor with the water.”
Coworker: “But I don’t know HOW to mop!”
Me: “…You just move the mop across the floor.”
Coworker: “Can you do it for me?”
(Needless to say, she did not last a month.)
