Old ladies just have absolutely zero filter, especially grandmas. They can be the sweetest old ladies, yet they ain't having any of your shit.

Mildred is a fake account run by the person who made the first post

What is a "closer" in the first place?

[–] fatalicus@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People who work the last shift.

That makes sense, thank you :)

There was a tv series about them. "The Closer" - cleverly disguised as a detective show, but if you pay attention you'll notice she's always the last person to leave the office.

They're "Losers" because they are working the only job they can find? Perhaps it would be better if they just relied on government assistance, huh?

How many of these Losers are working a second, or even third, job here? How many would love to work somewhere better, but the jobs don't exist, or they can't afford the education required without going tens of thousands into debt? How many are working it because it's a second household income, and this manager will schedule around a family's or student's school schedule?

Anybody that disparages ANY working American because their job doesn't measure up to their snooty expectations is a fucking PIG!

That includes everyone in this thread laughing at this post. I was appalled when I first saw it, and that should have been everybody's reaction.

You should all feel ashamed of yourselves.

No, they’re losers because the C is missing.

She wants her grandson to keep the job. If only losers apply, they won't fire him

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

I thought she just had a loser for a grandson. 🤔

I'm not, if they were winners they'd be doing crimes like a cool person

Maybe she thinks her grandson is a loser because he's a monotheist

Why does this picture feel like it was taken in 2007 ?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

because poor communities don't buy the latest and greatest.

I had dialup internet when 1g fiber was a thing because local ISP didn't have high speed access and I was too poor to afford it anyway.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They are hiring losers because they have none

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

they may also have too few losers

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Still makes it unlikely that Mildred's grandson is one

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

At least the job comes with perks. Closers get coffee, or so I hear.
