These people are the future? Uh Oh........

Sometimes we run into situations that force thoughtfulness.

I avoid them, as they cause headaches, but the universe still shoves them right in front of me. Sigh.....

The woman who puts up with me, our youngest son, and I stopped in at the KFC in Ephrata, Pennsylvania a few days ago. Wifey just wanted some mashed potatoes for lunch, and making her happy is a worthwhile exercise. It always pays off.

As we got in line, the universe tossed one of those situation at me.... and I pulled out my camera in order to share here with my loyal readers.... reader..... Ok, to share just in case I ever get a reader.

We were the last three in a line of six people. There were cars in the drive thru line as well.

The young people manning the store seemed to think customers are a minor nuisance to be avoided if possible, and stayed gathered around their newspaper. Looking for new jobs perhaps? Chicken frying and customer waiting resumed when I was observed taking this photo.

These teenagers are the future of the world..... Or not. Should I be surprised at this level of dedication and work ethic? Somewhere down the line, in this picture, there is a long string of failures. I think..... but am I wrong?

Is this picture acceptable? Only my wife and I thought this was a situation lacking in something.... everyone else there just shuffled along like it was normal.
I sent the photo and description to KFC, asking if this was a normal situation we should expect at their store. No response at all... not a word. I guess it's normal if it's not even worth a comment from the company.

I have got to have a discussion with Mr. Universe.... enough of these quandaries!
