job listings are mind-numbing

“You will be: A rockstar at customer service! The quarterback of the kitchen! A ninja on our POS system!” Should I also be a cowboy of cleaning and an astronaut of ass-kissing? It’s maddening. You are hiring a server, and presumably not one who is five years old. Why do they insist on using this absurdly juvenile language in so many service job listings? I guess it’s because they want to attract people who don’t mind being talked down to and treated like a child?
