Quiznos girl

Have you ever noticed the way the other Quiznos employees treat the young, skinny girl by the cash register (kind of looks like Shelley Long)? They all address her like she's severely dumb. When a customer has an issue (today it was someone with a backdated coupon, which they claimed a worker had previously said was valid), they go "Was it... her?" referring to the young woman in the third person, like she's not just standing there. And it seems like EVERYONE pulls rank on her. As far as I can tell, she's been there since they opened, but all the new guys can dismiss her from the register, leaving her with the only job left: bagging to-go orders, and asking for-here customers if they want a cup of water. They treat her like a child!

Anyway, I'm here to editorialize a little.

My thoughts are this: I genuinely hope she's not disabled or slow or incompetent. I genuinely hope, the other workers have all just made a pact to dominate this really passive person. And it turns out she's actually the rightful heir to something big.
