This is the week the students move back into residence at university, with classes starting next week. So lots of fresh-faced youngsters are bustling about, their eyes aglow with the joy of learning, full of idealism, hope, and a desire to change the world.
Who will tell them that nothing lies ahead but disappointment, despair, debt, and the crushing of all their dreams? Not me! That will come in time! In the meanwhile, long line-ups at the bank, the grocery store, and good luck finding a place to park at Wal-Mart. As I’ve shown before, this lot is usually pretty deserted. But not today!

No people, no cars in motion — that’s a store, not an office building.
Also, where are the cart returns? Is that what those blue rectangles are marking?

Hm. I hadn’t noticed the lack of people. I think I see one couple. I guess the rest are in shopping.
Yep, the blue canopies are over the cart returns.

Yes, in due time those young folks will be transported to another, more challenging dimension far removed from university, so we’ll just let them enjoy their Wal-Mart shopping in peace.😉

I agree. And I do enjoy seeing their smiling faces.

If they weren’t so stupid, they wouldn’t be spending all that money for nothing.
But I don’t blame them one bit. Their parents on the other hand, those miserable bastards should know better than saddle their kids with a lifetime debt. And for what? A major in gender studies? I’m so cranky right now, I’d probably try to bite a college student right now and yell at them about how stupid they are being.
Go to a technical college and learn an actual skill that contributes to society. Grrrrrrr.

New guy, or is slow just his speed?

Well, he’s been with us almost 2 months. But he acts like he started 2 weeks ago. He should be faster and more aware of what to do without me telling him every step, every day. Thankfully one of the other guys has mainly dealt with him, but my goodness, he’s so slow.
I believe his slowness has put him on the “he’s a temporary guy and we’ll let him go soon” list.
His phone is surgically attached to his hand, he’s in his mid to late 20’s, but he’s either chemically stupid or so apathetic that he might as well be naturally stupid. I’m pretty sure he’s high half the time he comes to work.

Yeah, sometimes people are slow learners and sometimes they just don’t care. Sounds like this guy might be in the latter category. Oh well.
