    Richard dropped the act when he realized all women are repelled by that. He listed himself as a centrist or something like that on his Bumble profile like 4 years ago

    The “but” suggests that Hitler combined with Stalin is good BUT turns bad when you multiply it by 200.

    I agree with Sophos on the working thing. Instead of going to college at 18, kids should all work one year in retail and one year in a restaurant, then do college 20-24 if they want.

    I did two years as a bus boy and then another 3ish years in retail before getting the golf course job. The free/discounted food and clothes were great but goddamn those jobs sucked. The people were cool too.

    If the Ohio Supreme Court is this stupid on a ruling like this I can’t imagine how terrible they must be on more important issues

    Working in a grocery store was the most soul crushing job ever. The place I worked at required white dress shirts, a tie, khakis, dress shoes, hair above collar length, no facial hair other than mustaches, and we weren't allowed to lean on anything or sit down between customers. Couldn't have water at the registers. Most men weren't allowed to cashier, but luckily they liked me because I was a good bagger and productive. Women were not allowed to push carts outside, period. Paid $8 an hour. Nightmare of a job. I had constant back and feet pain lol. Awful 5 years.

    yeah that sounds fucking terrible. My mom's entire career post giving birth to me was at grocery stores, and they did their best to fuck her over, especially at the first one which she was at for like 20 years or so. She faced a lot of sexism there because she became a meat cutter in the late 90s when that was still a very male dominated field. I think when she first finished her apprentice ship she was like one of 3 female meat cutters in the state or something wild like that. She made good money once she got that job, well as good as one does at a grocery store, and the place she was at was unionized so that was good. But then they fucked her over and got her fired for stealing cheese aka she walked back to the deli to talk to the deli workers and took a slice of cheese and ate it while talking to them. Basically she had a big target on her back for years between the sexism and the fact that she was vocal and didn't take shit from people. After that, she went to another chain that wasn't unionzed and then ended up at BJs for a couple years before finally retiring this past winter. I'm so happy she got out of there she's in her 60s and working in the meat freezer is back breaking work.

    I never worked in a grocery store because she would never let me lol. She knew how they treated their workers.

    Jeeze that's awful. Truly eye opening that there were only 3 women in the entire state doing that job

    Oh shit. This sounds like it was sabotage that was coordinated, simultaneous, and widespread cross the entire country

    Yeah, that’s pretty much the case all over Europe. It’s funny cause we find being handed the check without asking to be a bit rude, so it goes both ways I suppose.

    Like, I find US tipping culture to be insane, but when I’m over there you bet I do it. I had no idea servers earned so little without tips. Making companies pay people properly would be a start.

    Also, the whole “the customer is always right” thing absolutely does not fly here. I was in Paris last month with work, and we went to a bar and all had wine. One guy asked for beer and the waiter straight up said “no”, and asked him to pick again ha.

    They really have no idea how to attack Kamala. They love all our problems with her.

    StalinHitler200 sounds more like a right wing screen name.
