why does having a little crush on someone have to feel like cutting off your left leg and also a finger of your choosing

#crush #why do I have to feel attraction

Rich people openly brag about intentionally choosing to live off of other people's hard work, while they shame poor people for receiving financial assistance that they need to live.

I actually don't recall ever seeing a positivity post for ppl w ongoing amnesia caused by trauma disorders. I'm not talking just repressed childhood memories, I mean perpetual long-term memory loss. I mean continuing to forget non-traumatic things that happened or ppl you knew a few years or even months ago. I mean struggling to retain any information you're learning if you don't constantly go over the same material over and over again, and losing it all once you stop repeating it

If you have amnesia like me, you matter. We navigate the world a bit differently but that's okay. Just bc our brains are broken doesn't mean we can't live happy and fulfilling lives. Be patient w yourself when learning new things. Surround yourself w compassionate ppl who love to tell you stories abt past exploits you may have forgotten. Also, hey, who else gets to watch a movie for the first time every time? Above all be kind to yourself.

"oh Gordon Ramsay is being performatively angry on kitchen nightmares"

Anyone who has ever met an amateur restaurant owner: They probably have to cut so many slurs from that show. I know ten people like this and they're all dumber than a box of rocks.

"these people can't be this stupid it's a trick of the editing."

It's good to be conscious of how reality tv alters our perception of events and makes people into the most sensational versions of themselves. But please understand that "demographic that has enough spare income and misplaced confidence to start a restaurant with zero experience" is the group of people who stormed the capital.

Alright.

Now the first post makes sense.

I once worked in a pub where the chip oil was so dirty it was black, but the owner never let us change it because oil costs money.

I was like, you know this is going to catch on fire if we don't change it, right?

And he went, no it won't lol don't worry sweetheart.

It caught on fire.

And after I went about shutting off the gas and getting the extinguisher, I came back to him

A bucket of water on it.

So no. While Kitchen Nightmares is probably edited to enhance the drama, those people are absolutely out there and they are stupider than you can imagine.

Honestly the best part of being a barista was charging cops for their drinks. They're so used to getting free shit so it was SOOOOO good for them to pull up to the window and for me to be like "$6.47 :)" and them to make this whole elaborate display of slowly pulling their wallet out and handing their card over bc they weren't expecting to pay. I'd charge you double if I could, oink oink bitch

I got in SOOOOO much trouble constantly and consistently when I worked at 7-11 because as a third shifter I was 'supposed' to be afraid of being alone in the store at night and the local district manager would bribe the local cops to hang out at the Corp stores

I never EVER gave them free coffee or donuts and drove them NUTS by using the speakers to announce thier presence for a few reasons 1. Fuck cops 2. My stoner coworker was def smoking pot somewhere on the property 3. The local homeless guy w/ a dog sometimes slept in the dumpster cage (w our permission)

But, as much as he screamed he wouldn't do SHIT because my stoner buddy and I were the ONLY reason his district was passing health inspections. We were a two man deep cleaning crew that would tour the district the week b4 the health dept and clean all the crap the other overnight teams never bothered with

Best way to cover your ass for minor misbehavior at work is to do unimpeachable work

working at a grocery store this is something i was so worried would happen, i cant stop someone from trying to feed themselves.

but it literally hasn't happened. people steal fried chicken and pack steaks into a duffel bag. or they have me write on cakes for their coworkers birthday and run out the door with it. they eat chicken and dump the bones on a shelf they pay for the rest of their "groceries".

i've never once seen anyone steal bread, or fruit, or vegetables, or cold chicken

We have free purified water but no they steal soda

anarchistmemedistro

so you’re saying it people are trying to feed themselves

How dare poor people eat things they enjoy rather than bland staples, the only thing they deserve

A little disappointed that this didn't become a site-wide week-long discourse topic/meme fodder because it's a discussion we're way overdue to have

Like, let's set aside the practical concerns, like how "unhealthy" food has more calories while taking up less bag space, people can't survive on nothing but bread and water, many poor communities are food deserts where fresh food isn't even available to steal, and many people (including the explicitly unhoused man in the meme) don't have a way to prepare frozen chicken. Let's set all that aside, because poor people aren't required to justify every single action to you specifically

Instead let's talk about the sheer undisguised hatred of the poor on display here. "The fried food at the grocery store is for me, because I'm a good special boy with money, if the filthy poors want to steal they can steal the dried gruel powder because that's all they're good enough for. Or they can have meat, I suppose, but only if it's frozen meat that they'll have to go heat up themselves to prove to me that they've earned it. And make sure they grab some raw vegetables that they'll have to chop and cook themselves too, that'll be a good use of their bountiful time and energy. If they wanted not to be miserable, they should have tried not being poor, like me!"

There is literally no justification for this shit. If you believe that stealing bread from a chain grocery store is a justified act that hurts no one, why the fuck would you feel different about steak? Why are you even thinking about this shit? Why are you sitting around fuming at the thought of poor people having anything that makes life worth living? What does it fucking matter to you?

How can you be heartless enough to look at a society where people have to steal in order to feed themselves and their families, and your biggest concern is about policing what they steal?

so i worked in several grocery stores, so my knowledge on this isn't theoretical. even considering the practicalities of what people steal - pre-prepared food, for example - at the end of the day, you, as a grocery store employee, should not give a single morsel of a fuck about what people do or do not steal. loss is calculated into the cost of food, and the profit margins on a lot of items are so fucking high that even if people steal tighter-margined foods like shrimp or steak, the company that is paying you can more than make up for it on other items like chips or deli fries or whatever. it's not coming out of your pocket. this company is also paying you, most likely, the legal bare minimum anyway. most of how they make up for the loss is by paying you the absolutely smallest amount that the government will allow, and even there, they can skirt it by scheduling you so little that you may as well be paying them. they don't fucking care about you so you shouldn't care if someone doesn't pay for a cake. really.

regardless of what is being stolen and by whom is totally irrelevant unless you, personally, are an owner and you're running a tiny-ass grocery store in a community, and if that were the case, you wouldn't be so alienated by your community that you wouldn't be able to ask that person, hey, man, are you hungry? do you need some help? instead you're getting minimum wage to stock shelves and you're sitting there defending the interests of what is likely a corporation that is statistically more likely to be contributing to food insecurity by throwing out shit tons of food than any single person can do by stealing a fucking pepsi

I worked managment roles at a w*lmart up here and they have systems in place that allow damaged or "bad" produce/products to be donated or sent to local farms as compost.

But because it didnt make them any money they didnt care and would have us throw it in the "hole in the wall" trash compactor.

When one bottle from a case would break during unload they wouldnt take time to clean off the rest, they would throw the whole case in the trash and write it off like it all came in broken. 1 out of 12 jars broke? They throw em all out.

Iiterally daily part of my role was to do claims (throw everything in the trash).

Every day they had me throwing out hundreds of dollars of perfectly good food while my fridge at home was empty. Was like fucking torture.

Big corporations are so fucking wasteful and unethical so whether you're stealing from them for survival or for fun i support you and hope you have fun doing it

Plz specify then.

I love when a show puts punk music making fun of nazis as the background to any scene involving a fascist

No one fucking says anything at this school, we have to sit and pretend not to notice all the little things people throw our way, and when people decide to speak up for once, it’s “just go back to keeping your head down,” like why

Anonymous declares war on Russian government

Working two-three jobs to make end meet also isn’t the brag you think it it’s. You are being taken advantage of. MW was meant to pay for roof, food, and transportation, with a little bit for savings for retirement all without a college degree.
