I waited till the second schlub turned the corner, then I stood up on the first shelf and pulled the damn thing down myself .
Those dudes would not make it a minute in the auto business .

You should have gotten a woman to help and then called the other two back over to watch.

Lots of folks out there that are crappy workers. I've had folks brag to me about not working. I don't get it. But then that's why most of us are where we are and they are where they are. My son was a schmuck when he was younger, but eventually "got it" and has been bustin' his arse for many years now (Phew! Thank goodness!)
