Why apply to work in a physical job if you're not going to do the work? Tldr: teenagers that should be active & healthy complain as if they're frail pensioners  I work in a physical job, a lot of heavy lifting, walking, kneeling & climbing ladders for 8-10 hours a day. You are told in the interview process that it is a physical job. There's a lot to do, so you need to be able to work quickly. I get stuck on shift with at least 4 16-17 year olds that work incredibly slow as an attempt to be moved to less physical areas of work. They constantly complain about how their knees hurt from walking and kneeling, I catch them multiple times sitting on the floor in the same area I saw them an hour ago. It takes them 2 hours to do one job, so if I'm the only other person on shift with them, I'm the one that has to work extra hard just to pick up the slack. Whilst they complain about how tired they are.  They don't take notice of what I say, because I am not a higher member of staff, even if I'm passing along a message, they will not listen. I have to tell them multiple times. But then they try to tell me how to do my job when I've been there longer & am actually doing 2 people's jobs worth of shit.  They also have a talent for not doing their jobs properly, which irritates me even more. How can it take so long & still not be done correctly. One of these girls came up to me, so proud of herself because she finished her jobs 15 minutes before we had to start cleaning. At this point I had already finished my jobs, worked 2 sections & started cleaning early to get a head start. She stood aimlessly in her section until I told her to go through and check everything was done. Guess what, she finished 'early' and her section was still not done. I had to do it.  When I get stuck doing a non physical job that these teens yearn for, another colleague has to do everything. By the end of the week we are both fed up. Their laziness creates more work for me and other members of staff who have to fix what they've done on top of our other jobs. It's getting frustrating for everyone. They complain & move around like a frail 80 year old that needs a Zimmer frame. Was talking to a friend that is a pensioner, he's in his 80s but looks closer to 60. He could not believe that the staff members i was complaining about were only 16. I'm not good at guessing bmi but they look like they are between the high end of obese or almost reaching morbid obesity.  I can understand it's not their fault if it's a child. But their attitude towards work shows just how lazy they are. You know how exhausting it feels to work in a place that's really short staffed? Well it's like that, except we're not even remotely short staffed. I've worked in multiple places with pensioners, even a guy reaching 90 who wasn't allowed to be left alone in the shop (due to health risks) was perfectly able to move around and do everything he needed to do. Shit even he moved faster than they do. Oh & they did really well on their trial shifts to make sure they got hired.
