"Am I just being retarded?

Or are these especially difficult?"

No, poor Customer-man-person self serving at the greasy Olive Bar, it isn't you. It's the deli. It's not your fault that nothing we actually NEED ever gets ordered. Like the lids for all of the plastic containers. Instead we have been using the soup container lids, which do not particularly fit, and are especially difficult. I have trained myself to be successful on the 2nd attempt 50% of the time when fusing the lid with the container, but not everyone is as skilled with adaptability as I am. Nor should they be for getting paid so little per hour.

Back on the topic of ordering, our usual manager, Boss Lady, is usually pretty good about ordering stuff that we need, but our "assistant manager," (the Critter) not so much. As was told to me by Apples on night, when Boss Lady got back from her 2 month injury, she exclaimed, "It looked like Christmas!" Regarding the Critter's ordering habits.
