How many Kenyans do you need to clean an aisle in the grocery store?

Answer: 6
1 wipes the floor
1 washes it with soap and water
1 wipes the floor
1 dries it
2 are blocking the aisle in both ends of the aisle, to make sure customers don't slip on the wet floor.

I witnessed something similar in the shopping center with stairs. Looked pretty funny. Then again, it'll certainly take a shorter time than having one dude do it.

Basically it seems that if you can hire someone to do the job in Kenya, you don't do it yourself. During my first days at work I was struggling to adjust my chair and my colleague advised me to call about it to the reception. "They probably have a chair guy, who is just waiting around for calls regarding any issues with chairs. It's almost rude to do it yourself."
(Btw, does "a chair guy" make you think of Barney Stinson, too?)

 Other examples of (almost unnecessary) employment of people include:
- you will find numerable people just standing around in the aisles of a grocery store, almost one for each aisle, ready to serve customers in need
- you won't have to pack your own groceries, someone's hired to do it
- any middle-income household will employ at least a cleaning lady and security guards (considered almost as a duty)
- any higher-income household will additionally employ one or all of the following: cook, driver, gardener

This kind of job creation is not a bad idea, but still there is a huge problem with unemployment in this country...
