Primark workers are shit

Most are, anyway.

Now, you know I love really shit sayings. Here's another: you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Especially when these tricks are respect, a valid opinion and accurate conceptions of the younger generation.

Before I start, I’m fully aware that I’m purveying a hilariously contradictory and crass generalisation of those older than me, shut up.

My beautiful girlfriend (she’s probably reading) works at Primark. She does this for the money, and is currently working towards becoming a teacher. She has a distinct dislike for the place shall we say, but as a supervisor she often runs the rule over people who are older than her. These people do not like this authority, but why?

Is it because my girlfriend, probably half your age, has more career prospects than you ever had and ever will?

Is it because you have a deep-seated inner loathing of yourself because you’re in your 40s and work at Primark?

Is it because you have a deep-seated inner loathing of yourself just because you work at Primark?

Is it because you don’t like authority, or at least authority held by someone younger than you?

Are you jealous, or even naïve enough to think you’re better than people due to your age?

Is it because you’re a bitch?

Now, I’m not one to cast aspersions and definitely haven’t made my mind up that the final point is almost certainly correct, but if you’re a regular worker and don’t listen to those in authority over you, you don’t deserve that job. It’s pretty simple.

And it’s not just Primark, it’s people in general. Do these people honestly believe that because they’re older than us, they’re better? Why, when we do something they disagree with, is our age called into question? Is it really because we’re “young and learning”, or is it because you simply have a different opinion?

I don’t hold the same opinion of all older people, may I add. From personal experience the majority of ‘older’ Primark workers (generally of the female persuasion) are bell-ends though. Especially your dad.
