A childhood friend's mom is a nurse and believes this. Of course, she also told my mom, "If you don't force your daughter to do sports, she'll just get into trouble!" that "Art isn't worth anything and you guys will never make money" (both of us are working artists) and she was all about crystals and angels and poo poo.

People are stupid as hell about identification. A few years ago I was in a gas station buying beer and the clerk informed me that since my ID was marked "learner's permit" rather than "driver's license" he couldn't sell me alcohol. I was 23, and it was an Arizona permit so it was very clear that I wasn't underage-- not only do people under 21 have their licenses marked "UNDER 21 UNTIL (date)" but they're oriented so they're thin and tall rather than short and long like normal IDs.

Sorry I didn't learn to drive when I was younger :(

As long as you're 21+ (and sometimes only 18) you can bring kids in. I'm more surprised a 9yo wasn't okay seeing a gory R movie. Do kids nowadays not watch all the horror movies and stuff they can get during sleepovers?

I'm gonna guess it's mostly jealousy from the gross women that call themselves feminists but actually don't give a poo poo about actual equality as long as the rest of the women act like they "should". Seems like they overlap with the women that don't want other women choosing to be housewives.

A drunk cousin of a friend started yelling at my husband and I one night when she found out we identified as atheist, calling us murderers and rapists and thieves. We told her that we were just naturally good and that if she only behaved because she was afraid of getting in trouble, she was a worse person than us, and boy did that ever set her off. Don't drink and philosophize with strangers!

I make it a point to not drink with super-theists. I mean, hippies can be obnoxious with their poo poo but at least they love everyone.

Walmart calls them Assets. Asset Protection is also supposed to protect the employees but from my experience AP gives less than zero shits about their employees seeing as how I was ordered into an open top dumpster to push down scrap metal because the regional manager didn't "like how you can see the metal sticking out the top"

Assets in Walmart-speak only applies to the merchandise, that's why it's "asset protection" rather than "security." AP isn't supposed to protect the employees, that's "for management and cops to do". We weren't even supposed to investigate if something got stolen out of an employee car, because that's not what we were paid to do and because it didn't negatively affect Walmart's earnings. The entire job pertains to protecting Walmart's money. They even have a preferred quota of catches every month-- any business can legally punish a shoplifter with a bill, so that charge goes on top of whatever punishment they get for shoplifting. Usually each first-time lifter is charged $200-600, and since the merchandise would also have been recovered, that's pure free money for Walmart. My god I'm glad I got out of that shithole.

E: editing for clarity.

That isn't the speech the ap woman gave us during the remodel she swore her job was to look out for us too and it was obvious she gave no shits because the concept of giving the outside team water during the 100 degree days was insane to her. There were perfectly good drinking fountains inside.

Dude, all they care about is money for Walmart. Sorry :( I honestly hated it after a year, it was all "catch as many people as possible and get us that sweet money, no of course you can't use the cameras to see who stole that little girl's tablet, it's not Walmart property!" Never again.

Yeah "team members" is kinda a Target thing. (Target is also a lovely, lovely place to work. Really even worse than Walmart and they pay less.)

Man I'm glad I now work at a place where everyone is referred to as "the other dudes that work here."

Wait, really? My fiancee has worked at Target for like five years and thinks it's about as good as retail gets, she gets decent pay, and they're not dicks when she wants vacation time or something.

I worked there for four years, had perfect reviews every year, was in charge of a team and training, and left only making $8.00/hr. It could have been the two I worked at though (Arizona), but it seems like they just really undervalue and overwork their employees.

You know, retail isn't so bad when you find a place that isn't poo poo. I just got a job at a smoke shop and have three coworkers, including the owner. It's a really damned nice place and I actually have say in what goes on around there to make things better. Places like Walmart and Target can gently caress right off though.

Honestly, that sounds perfect for a head shop.

For the most part the customers are very chill, noncrazy people that just want their daily pack or three of cigarettes, maybe some beer, and the occasional quality bong. I haven't heard a single one yammer on about star signs or really anything weird. Not a single conspiracy theorist among 'em. I don't want to annoy them with some woo woo bullshit every time the moon full or some poo poo.
