Get used to it. At least 50% of the human population is desperately

Some of them even need pitons to maintain what little grip they've
got.
I applied to part time work at HD three years ago. It got as far as an
interview, during which the manager asked me if I had any ideas for
doing the job better. I told him I'd arrive 20 minutes early, NOT
punch in, and spend MY 20 minutes familiarizing myself with the
aisles. He asked me why.
Do I need to go any further? I did not get the job, by the way.


Thank you, Joe, I appreciate it.

I think the trick is finding a time when there are more customers in the
store to distract the "help." Unfortunately, I do most of my business
early, when most people aren't.

Maybe I could get a fake cellphone and pretend I am on the phone. Or a
fake hearing aid and yell at them.

Easier: Wander the aisles mumbling bible verses. Nobody wants to come near
people like that, except for other people like that on street corners in big
cities.
