Working with younger staff is a humbling experience.
There I was, fronting up to the new computerised till like a brave little soldier, while the Sorcha stood back and watched nature take its course.
“Here we see the mature publican in her natural habitat, half blind, mildly confused and moving at a speed best described as leisurely. Faced with modern technology, she carefully pecks at the screen while hoping she doesn’t accidentally order 47 schnitzels.”
Meanwhile, the 20-year-olds are tapping away like they’ve been coding since birth.
I’ve survived droughts, floods, tornadoes, two pub purchases and raising four kids, 10 grandchildren but this bloody automated till might finally be the thing that takes me out. 🍻🤣
