Time Stands Still

Slowest employees in St. Maarten on Flickr - Photo Sharing!.jpg
What you see here are very possibly the slowest employees in St. Maarten, or maybe even the world!! They are working (i use that word very loosely) at the Quiznos in the airport. They are pretty notorious for their slow service, but this time was special. I really did not think that people could move this slow. I have attached pictures, but they could have just as easy been 30 second movie clips and you wouldn't have known the difference. It's actually more exciting to watch paint dry than to watch them attempt to work. It's like you're watching them, and you know that they're doing something, but you just don't see anything happen. It's really a lot like watching a flower bloom...you know that something's happening, but you just don't see anything move unless you sit around and watch for a long time. Today, it took nearly 20 minutes for them to complete the 2 orders in front of me. Is it possible that there are slower people working somewhere else? Probably not. I used to think that the Popeyes restaurants back home had the worst employees ever, but you are looking at the new face of slow.
