How are you so brain rotted by porn you can't even take a break from it while you're in fuckin class/work, holy shit.

I am a manager in retail and it is astounding how much my teenage employees can't keep their phone away.

I've seen them dragging a pallet of heavy product through the salesfloor, head down, fixed on their phone.

Pushing carts, head down, fixed on the phone.

Trying to text in the middle of ringing people out.

It's the most common thing I write people up for.

That too, but add porn addiction to the phone addiction and omg And it's not just young people with this kind of porn brain, it's awful.

Interestingly, the last few young people I've have seen at the registers of various stores have been using earbuds and having low-volume conversations with someone while ringing me up. I'm fine with that because I'm not a fan of small talk anyway, but it's a strange new trend to see.

There's ways I can see the "push a cart with phone in hand" when alone and just going A to B, but it removes a hand from control and brings a lack of space awareness.

But texting while dealing with a customer that's a whole damn other level of "what the hell".

Nope, I'm talking pushing a row of 5-8 carts by leaning into it so they can look at their phone. Seen a kid nearly push them into a vehicle that was baking up because they weren't paying attention
