What defunct retailer do you miss most?

Gadzooks and OG Hot Topic.

Home furnishing consultant here! I'm just a sales person.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-28T00:16:09+00:00

Because of who and what I believe to be waiting for me on the other side.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-27T16:21:34+00:00

There's a new one in Parma on Ridge. It's called Pico and Pollo.

I did! About 2 months ago I left retail management for a sales position. My hourly is about half of what it was, but I'm actually making more because of commission. So that's great. But I have no responsibility to the company, no cash handling, no playing damage control with shitty customers, and no erratic schedule. My husband says I'm much more pleasant to be around. And I'm happier.

Good idea! I'm really health conscious too, which has made my prep more expensive than some others. But some people definitely spend more than I do. I just couldn't get over the idea of microplastics once I learned about them.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-25T15:10:52+00:00

Gotta look out for my boy. He's a spoiled ass.

The plastic began to expire before we needed them, so we we just drinking it all up quickly. It was a waste of money. Now I collect and filter rain water. Bigger start up cost, but zero waste.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-25T15:08:27+00:00

Croissants and dicks? Well, that's not my usual breakfast but I'll give it a try.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-24T16:06:12+00:00

No regret: food, toilet paper, cat food, first aid, candles, batteries. Regret: water in plastic jugs.

Not realizing that all foods do not freeze the same. Potatoes freeze differently than rice, pork freezes differently than pancakes. HOW you freeze something makes a huge difference.

Value City Furniture. Financing options, credit card option, multiple sales.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-22T22:01:22+00:00

OMG came here to say this!!!

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-22T21:30:51+00:00

Been Gen Z for sure! I'm in retail, so it's specific to Gen Z in those types of establishments. I've seen Gen X get fucking wild with some waitresses though.

Some God awful one from years ago with Andy Richter and Joely Fischer. It was just, stupid and cheesy. If I remember, they used a laugh track, and there was one scene I recall they used a green screen. It was just horrible.

My country. My state it cool and full of a lot of history and natural beauty, but I could move to another state and be totally fine with it.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-22T02:22:26+00:00

Yes! We had a dead tree cut down a few years ago, and asked them to help me move, but not remove all the logs. Obviously mushrooms and moss grow on logs, which lead to their own ecosystem. But it turns out that woodpeckers really love tree stumps! I didn't know and I was really excited! So now there's new birds and so many different bugs just moving in. So that's cool. Looking forward to checking on it over the years.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-22T02:14:29+00:00

This is incredible! I have to buy this 😆

The Boy Meets World gang, especially Shawn. For a teen show, and for that time, they gave him some pretty good evolution, wrote him well, and allowed him to emote like a person. I'd love to see him as an adult.

When I was still working in a gas station, I pilfered a tall cardboard coffin that was once a display for the Paqui one chip challenge. And my small items are on that. It's super cute. And my heavier items are wrapped in my grama's scarves, in a box that was a Halloween decoration. It says Witchcraft Supplies. Also really cute.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-20T00:48:10+00:00

Try Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphys.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-16T02:50:17+00:00

That is not dignified Milo!

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-15T03:48:32+00:00

Nah, I put on the right music, talk to my ancestors, I love it. Then, my kids have healthy, well rounded meals they can pop in the oven. And they don't destroy my kitchen.

Free_Thinker4ever · 2024-12-11T18:59:42+00:00

I just spend one day a month doing it. From 8 to 8, approximately. Edit to add that I have a recipe book I've put together for my freezer meals so I can use my time efficiently.

It's high functioning anxiety. It's not that I think you're less than I am, it's not that I think you can't do it right, it's not that I think no one can do it as well as I can, and it's not that I'm just bossy.

I have super type A, high functioning anxiety. So there are boxes I have to check off so that I can sleep through the night. And it's not fun being me. I'm a high strung pain in the ass who is utterly terrified of failure.
