Don't upset yourself over this matter. Today's frontline workforce are trained to NOT use their brains to think logically. I assume the corporate logic is that an employee that thinks does more harm than good. I run across this on a regular basis and have given up hope in trying to discuss any problem situation in a logical manner.

I know...I know...I shouldn't let it get to me. It seems like every day I have to deal with someone who either can't or doesn't want to think.

And it's not like I come from some high horse or anything. I sacked groceries for minimum wage for a few months. I'd like to think that I did it efficiently, correctly, and was able to solve problems to serve the customer. Not that grocery-sackers are asked to save the world, but neither are hotel and car rental clerks. It's totally frustrating to see people that can't logically think their way through a situation. Is it our companies? Is it our schools? Is it the dumbing down of society to make everybody feel good? I don't know...
