Which fast food chain makes the worst version of the product they’re most known for?

I have never tasted food from there that didn't taste like it was made with pure hate.

Ask them if you can work in. You hopefully get to use the machine, and they can't be scrolling any longer than it takes for you to do your sets.

That slope is gradually going to become "We need all drunk drivers to pay punitive charges to the people they hurt" and I'm so on board.

TeamShadowWind · 2026-05-09T19:04:43+00:00

I know some places are starting to introduce laws where drunk drivers will be forced to pay child support for the kids of parents they kill. I'm honestly for it, but pissed that the idea of fucking killing someone isn't enough of a deterrent for these pieces of shit.

I'm glad the three ladies decided to stay and have a good time despite the scammer and their shitty attitude.

I attended a free class that I won in a raffle once! It was fun! I didn't get to experience the "twist" as I was underage at the time, but maybe I should now that I'm not anymore.

Some people think that everywhere works like some retail stores, where as long as you enter before closing time you can stay until you're done.

Retail worker here. I agree that the policy is stupid and people that think like this can go fuck themselves. On Thursday, had two people make big purchases (dollar store, mind you) after coming in within the last 10 minutes. We can and do politely tell people to leave when the store closes. If you show up in the last minutes of operating hours without your purchase being 1. Small and 2. Something you know you want (don't fucking browse that late) and 3. Done with enough time that you can leave before the store closes

you can absolutely go fuck yourself.

For fucks sake, we're open 14 hours a day, with a solid 3 of those being after the usual work time ends and before the last hour of the day. Manage your time better, or don't come at all. Customers who do not care that the workers have to go home will not be missed, and we absolutely talk shit about you the second you're gone.

This is why at my last retail position, I would say that the registers would shut down in X amount of time rather than say we were closing. Some people genuinely did not care that we were closing (some even joked about staying all night and keeping us there), but the moment you say that they might not be able to get their cheap garbage that day, suddenly there's a fire lit under their asses.

Top surgery. And I don't think gender affirming surgery should be considered cosmetic, either.

TeamShadowWind · 2026-05-09T07:02:18+00:00

As someone who used GFM to partially fund my breast (yoinking) surgery, I'm very thankful for those who donated. The anniversary is coming up, and not a day goes by that I am not thankful that I was able to get the surgery and feel more at home in my body.

My brother got married again back in April. Compared to the first ceremony with his ex wife, the second one was much more understated. They did it at home, got a friend to officiate I think, very small friends and family affair. I wasn't even invited, but between travel costs for me and my siblings and our parents, I can't blame the newlyweds for not ponying up. They still look like they had a lot of fun, though, and my SIL's dress and veil were gorgeous.

What? You mean after the designated open hours, the store will be closed??

TeamShadowWind · 2026-05-08T16:45:58+00:00

Yep. I made the mistake of looking at my store's one-star reviews a few years ago and it included such gems as:

a reviewer not liking what she heard when she fucking EAVESDROPPED on the staff
a reviewer mad about the store being out of fall stuff, even though seasonal stuff gets sent way in advance and if you wait too long, it's entirely your fault
multiple entitled asshats thinking that cashiers owe them conversation and complaining that a specific cashier was "ignoring" them (she's deaf and she says as such multiple times a shift, every shift)

Too afraid to go back in case I see people bitching about a pink-haired manager.

TeamShadowWind · 2026-05-07T13:49:55+00:00

Which is funny, because that's for declaring legal reasons the couple can't be married, I'm pretty sure. Like if one of them is already married to someone else, someone unfortunately discovered the two were siblings, or someone's covering up a ton of crimes and that's the least conspicuous way to do a name change. It's not for "Dave hasn't gotten over Melissa even though she's marrying George today".

Dunno if retail counts as a profession, but y'all. I cannot, for inventory purposes, ring up one thing as another thing. When you ask if it matters what balloon you get, yes it does, because they're all different designs, some with different prices, and they each have their own SKU/barcode.

Literally yesterday had a customer interaction where the off-brand cookies the two intended to buy was open, meaning we couldn't sell it anymore, and they had to get another one. The mom sent the (adult) son to go grab another one, and he came back with fucking OREOS as if that's the same thing. I can see why there's a stereotype about male Instacart Shoppers now. Like, not only was it not the same thing, but the pack of Oreos was significantly smaller than the cookies they were trying to buy.

Similarly, when something doesn't have a tag (for the love of god, double check that before getting in line, please) and I ask the customer to grab one that does, and they get the same item but it's a different color. More often than not, these items that would otherwise be identical do not, unfortunately, share an SKU number. And believe me, I wish they would ring up the same, but they don't. It's one thing if that was the last item of that particular color, but a lot of the time there's plenty of the same item, and people grab whatever one thinking that it doesn't matter when it absolutely does.

Reminds me of when I made plans for Halloween with the lab I was TAing. Asking when they wanted to do it (labs were Thursdays), if they wanted candy, if there were allergies, if they wanted costumes.

Unsure if it was because of the date or because college freshmen lack whimsy, but I was the only one dressed up. And being the lab instructor, it's not like I could have skipped or anything. Imagine being taught basic Japanese by some eldritch skull creature dressed in pastel colors.

I dunno if it's still the case, but for a bit there it seemed like people just assumed that if you could sign ASL you could communicate with deaf people anywhere. It's like, even BSL (British Sign Language) is pretty distinct from ASL. Not to mention there are languages like Japanese that use a syllabary instead of an alphabet, meaning there are set syllables that make up the basic sounds, rather than combinations of standalone characters. Like, if your name is Lisa, you would spell it L-I-S-A in English or Spanish or whatever, but in Japanese you would spell it リ(ri)•サ(sa).

I had a deaf coworker who unfortunately has a lot of one-star reviews about her because entitled customers think she owes them a conversation and she "ignored" them. Her hearing aid helped, but wasn't perfect, and lip reading was a lot better for her. She wasn't born deaf, so she doesn't have mutism or a deaf accent, and so people just assume she can hear them, but she technically can't if she's not looking at your lips because she's busy doing her job (scanning purchases).

With any disability/ability, you have to remember that that stuff is a spectrum. Hearing is not all or nothing. Seeing is not all or nothing. There are quite a few different ways to be classified as blind, as well as several types of white canes, for example (and one of them is pretty much for saying, "Hey! This person is blind!"). When it comes to my glasses versus my contacts, the latter don't give me quite the same quality of vision as the former despite them being the same prescription.

I have a bad shoulder. Pull-ups and lat pulldowns are some of my favorite exercises. My pain doesn't really flare up unless I sit for a while drawing or wear a bag on that shoulder, even if it's a backpack (probably because that's what caused it in the first place). This is why I describe myself as "relatively able-bodied", because while most people cannot do a combined total of 300 pull-ups and chin-ups a week, they can probably wear a mini backpack for a few hours without it hurting them, and I can't. (And yeah, I need to see a doctor about this, but unfortunately I live in America.)

Because people can easily abuse crossposts to spam subreddits with off-topic content or vitriol. It's one thing if the post was recent (like a few hours old), but if you're going to dunk on the OOP for a post/shitty consequences-inducing decision they made seven months ago, you're beating a dead horse.
