He was 100% right, that was the problem. Skeet is a dimwit who can't do basic math and hired ten year old kids, violating several state labor laws. Yet he was totally right about the buttons, the slog, everything.
That was the satire. Jimmy being a Mensa-level genius and it did him absolutely no good. The fact that he can do basic math in his head means nothing because the store needs to keep inventory. The fact that he knows the scientific name for salt means nothing because his boss can't understand him.
In low-level service industry jobs, mediocrity and the ability to follow tedious instructions are the most valued commodity. You are either an expendable cog in an endless machine of human pieces or you're a liability.
