The weirdest is a friend of mine who drew me a map to her house, but drew everything in mirror image. She said that had happened to her before.
Similarly, this story may or may not be relevant to your angst?
So are we talking Quantum Unusability or does that mean the Lotus Notes waveform can collapse any moment?

To be fair, those employees that you are complaining about get paid about as much as a McDonald's employee, so you shouldn't really expect much from them in the way of knowledge. The fact that they work so hard to get what usually ends up being an extra $5 per paycheck when they could just slack off and get fired and move to the next dead-end job that paid about as much is beyond me.
At McDonalds this works fine; I won't ask them how many watts or dpi a cheeseburger has vs a quarterpounder. But at certain stores like Best Buy or Radio Shack, I need a certain level of knowledge, exactly because I don't have it (and don't care about acquiring that level). By making their employees try to squeeze out a couple lousy bucks on every sale, they chase away their best employees, who can get a job without the bullshit; and they chase away me, who prefer to buy expensive shit without the bullshit.
So to my mind they make 2 essential mistakes:
Eventually this will kill them. I hope. Really.
Also, you don't see this as much in Europe. I worked in a Hifi store, and also worked with young kids who really did care about the things they sold/installed. They were just as cheap as far as pay was concerned, but they made a lot more money for the store, I think.

Did feel bad for the kid - he was just trying to do his job.
That's the annoying bit, you'd like to slap the CEO with a wet brick and all you have is an 18yo kid making $3 an hour. I think proper Customer Service would allow the opportunity to shout or hurl projectiles at the managers responsible for this shit.
