Shirley Generalizes People

Shirley is a professional generalizer of people. Rapidly slinging out stereotypes. All blacks…. All Kansans…. All men… All Irish…. All Asians… All city dwellers…. All children…. All whites…. All teachers…. All Ukrainians…. All firemen…. All thieves…. All women… She blames everyone in Portland for bad weather. She says all Danish bake muffins in the morning Her generalizations have alienated most of her co-workers Her bosses use her to shorten people’s lunch breaks

That would seem a good way to utilize her penchant for generalizing for the good of the company!
