You obviously have not worked in the retail industry.
I have worked in retail for a very long time. So I know exactly what you mean. It was worse when I was working in the Electronics department. You think "Wow... Are people really this stupid???" They ask you something and sometimes I didn't know if they were kidding or not, just because it was common sense, and no it wasn't just the older folks, nooooo mostly the younger generation. Also, they will ask you something, you tell them exactly what they need to do or what to get, and they look at you like your stupid and say "Nooo that doesn't sound right, I need to do this and this and this" GOD! NO YOU DON'T!!!! For heavens sake you just need to plug in your TV! It's not freaking rocket science! GAHH! Retail is stressful sometimes v.v

I'm at a loss for words. But yeah, I work in a call centre, which I imagine is as scary as working in retail, as the number of really truly thick people out there is frightening.

I work in retail, and can confirm that there are people this stupid, and worse, walking amongst us in society. They are generally disguised as normal human beings, and it can be difficult to tell who they are until you are put in a situation that compelled you to engage them in conversation, but they are around, and they are legion.
Sex, cleaning and cooking have nothing to do with basic math. Well maybe cooking. I could live with just sex and cleaning thanks to microwave technology and fast food.
