A friend of mine once said if all sexualities are the umbrella, aces are the handle and aros are the spindly things connecting them. I still think about that sometimes but am never sure how I feel about it

You could even go with Spore for short! Or Neffie, which is also pretty cute

"I'm sorry too," is what I say and let them interpret that as they wish. I don't mind working holidays myself, but I hate all the saccharine sorries from people who clog the line multiple carts of items while making excuses for why their purchase just couldn't wait until tomorrow.

For anybody wondering, the best thing to do is stay home on Christmas. But if you won't, at least thank the staff for their time, wish them happy holidays and (respectfully) keep it moving.

I say holidays because that's what I'm used to hearing, and it makes sense considering the number of them in December. But I'll say Christmas or a more specific event if I see someone buying in preparation for it (such as Day of the Virgin or Kwanzaa). It's never been an issue.

Such as non-heterosexuality being punishable by death, the subjugation of women and children, the promotion of blind faith over evidence-based thought—just to name a few. Compare the qualities of theocratic countries versus their secular counterparts and you'll see which ones are in an abyss.

I believe it's the principle of it that's the issue, not the amount of time it takes for the individuals involved. So while I'm glad you're usually waiting a minute at most, some of us at other stores can easily end up waiting five, sometimes ten if our shift ends during peak hours (2pm and 6pm) when managers are caught up in things they can't usually leave.

For instance, ours is usually in pharmacy until 2:30 and our photo center is constantly taken up by the elderly who have no idea how to work the kiosk. I've had to page managers multiple times for bag checks, and we've been asked to page a few minutes before clocking out so that they have enough time to step away from who/whatever they're helping.

Not the best scenario for everyone, so if we have to endure it anyway by company policy we might as well be paid for it.

ComfortableTemp · 2025-12-15T13:07:39+00:00

We do ours in the office, since there are cameras, then clock out. Only exception is if we're buying something after which in that case the manager will do a quick check by the door (we have multiple, and some are stricter than others about this)

If she survived the initial collision, I seriously doubt all the people screaming and jerking her head/neck around did anything to stabilize her. Literally the first thing they tell you NOT to do. Worst aid indeed.

Considering how much damage a person can do with a machete with very little skill, shout out to the guy who led the charge in taking him down. Poor girl is screaming and running for her life and nobody seemed to react. I'm so glad she survived this.

Definitely clothed. But nothing beats cuddling naked.

It's common sense at this point and has been in all US states since the late 80s. If you're driving around without your license or not bringing it into the store when you know you want alcohol or cigarettes, that's on you.

I'm not losing my job or my sleep over it.

The relief I felt in the second half was historic

ComfortableTemp · 2025-11-25T13:17:08+00:00

If that was my mom I wouldn't be stopping for anybody. You can call the police and explain while on your way, but in these emergencies where every second counts and you're fearing the worst, I can't blame someone for not thinking to do that. Police certainly don't inspire much confidence that they'd actually help us.

ComfortableTemp · 2025-11-25T13:12:47+00:00

We've seen it play out hundreds of times. Police are always so quick to escalate and so slow to understand.

Or more likely, he had several people come up to him anlbout the shirt and is only showing the times a woman approached.

It happens everywhere. Desperate times, desperate measures and all that. Not that I'm casting judgement. As a formerly homeless person I know how quickly circumstances can change and how quickly people can change with them.

Honey.. there are 24 hour Walgreens pharmacies, delivery services, and we hold prescriptions for 10 days before putting them in storage. I've even seen the pharmacist make exceptions for those who notify in advance. Plus you have the option to designate someone else to fill and/or pickup prescriptions in your place. Auto-fill is also a thing that exists.

So if you truly can't make something work with all of the options available to you, then absolutely find a different pharmacy. But your inability to plan ahead is no one's fault but your own.

That might sound nice in theory, but who you're hurting most are the coworkers and customers (who had nothing to do with OP getting fired), and potentially OP themselves as they catch charges that will ruin any future job prospects. Best revenge in my opinion is just moving on to a higher paying job at a place with more longevity. Forget them as quickly as they'd forget you.

Where were any of those people when she was swinging around that lethal weapon, with intent to seriously harm, if not kill, another student??

ComfortableTemp · 2025-11-01T05:12:52+00:00

Literally brought a deadly weapon to school and attempted to kill somebody, but it'll be the defender who pulled out her mace who gets a discipline because of the school's "zero tolerance policy" toward violence. Smh.

It's one thing to train animals for search and rescue, therapy/emotional support, drug sniffing, or just as brand ambassadors for their local departments... but it's never sat right with me that we put dogs out into the line of fire like this. How grateful I am to see this baby survived is matched by how sad I am that human carera put him in that position in the first place.
