MODERATORS
And so you blame the person whose thrown into having to use a self checkout with little to no instruction having to figure it out instead of the corpo execs who wanted to siphon a few local jobs into their new yachts?
If that person can't even read a screen or do a minimum of reasoning, yes.
In the Netherlands , 18% of the population can’t properly read (functioneel analfabeet).
Yeah I didn’t believe that either first time I read that.
Your translation of functionally illiterate is so adorable. I'm stealing it.
That's normal in duch. Everything they say sounds like a drunken Brit trying to poke fun of the German language. It's just impossible not to love it.
They also love to work with sounds a lot:
Fiets=Bike Bromfiets=Motorbike
Schuim=Foam Piepschuim=Styrofoam
That's actually crazy, but in that case there's still normal checkout.
Working with office and business types all day long in a highly technical field, I will say this: people don't even bother reading when it's literally their job to read, understand and act upon something.
I'm not even going to touch the minimum of reasoning thing.
