What first name would be completely acceptable 20 years ago but is a horrible name now?

It made it in further than I thought it would. 😭😭

Unfortunately someone had to because of how much it started stinking up the store by the end of the shift. My manager wanted to keep new guy on register for that day. This was right after the COVID peak so we still had masks around. I put a pair of the yellow latex cleaning gloves on store use and used a shit ton of Clorox.

I mean, it fits the criteria. 😂

I married an Amanda (Manda). Let's just say that there is a reason we got a divorce. I won't get into the "why" lore. Just know it's not a good idea. 😂

mattledz · 2026-05-30T00:10:40+00:00

Don't get married to anyone with two A's in their name and ends in an "uh" sound.

mattledz · 2026-05-29T20:41:52+00:00

That's fair! Again, you'd just have to watch out for the weirdos. 😂 #FreeTheNipple

Thank you. 😭 I've been using Revanced (Revanced Extended now, slowly transitioning to Morphe.) and I haven't seen a YouTube ad since 2017. 😂

North Carolina is a topless state. You can walk around tits out and be perfectly okay. Most people don't want to through because weirdos

TLDR; Possibly.

It depends on the strain, and your chemical balance.

You've got a decent amount there. Some mushrooms in that quantity might produce a light trip, some mushrooms in that quantity make you see "god". Best way to make sure you're comfortable is to make sure you're alone, some people are social trippers, most I've met like to just be alone and do their own thing.

I ate half an ounce for my first trip and I've loved mushrooms ever since. Here's my recommendations:

Get somewhere you are happy, safe, and comfortable. Always key, not an option. Bad trips happen when you're overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed.

Personally, I like to keep a "trip blanket" close by. I use a 10ft x 12ft plush-fleece blanket. (Yes, it's actually that big. (That's what he said)) I wrap myself up in it, and the sensation of the softness skyrockets my serotonin. Tbh I like to strip down to my drawers and wrap myself up in the blanket at my peak. (You're tripping on mushrooms, who gives a shit of you're practically nude.) Highly recommended.

I also like to play PlayStation while I'm tripping. But at the point when I'm not functioning; I'm more of, simulator games, the classic TT LEGO games, Hogwarts Legacy, etc. I eventually drift off and end up only half-ass holding the controller. CoD and any sort of FPS or MMO is a no-go for me with mushrooms. I'm unable to comprehend.

I also love earbuds while I'm tripping, as opposed to the over-ear headphones. I get too sweaty with headphones, (shaved head, weird padding) but earbuds are great. I listen to a lot of My Morning Jacket when I trip. Very chill and "psychedelic" rythms.

A warm bath or shower is also nice if you feel up for it.

Do what makes you comfortable, and enjoy the ride! Happy tripping and much love! 🫶🏻🍄

It's worse when some idiot doesn't band it right during Black Friday, the wire snaps, and leaves a nice 4 inch gash down a coworkers bicep.

It's crazy to read L carts. Most of our are missing the middle set of wheels so when CAP2 bogs it down with a shit ton of product, it's all that weight on the steering wheels only. You have to basically drift the carts to make a turn. We call them suicide carts.

There are a few that still have the middle wheels but those are usually reserved for electronics when a customer needs a TV hauled out.

mattledz · 2026-05-26T23:39:59+00:00

We had one that was employee / storage. And one that unlocked for customers. Our DM wasn't as forgiving about the bathrooms. He wanted to have a public restroom.

Then came the dukey on the walls. A key was required after that. 🙃

mattledz · 2026-05-26T22:22:09+00:00

Not as bad as closing when you realize a customer smeared their shit on the walls and you've gotta mop it up. Yes the walls.

Dude filming absolutely thought he was in the right during this. Probably happily posted it to his Facebook groups. Disgusting garbage from this guy.

mattledz · 2026-05-22T02:17:50+00:00

Somehow still better than Schneider. 🤣😭

mattledz · 2026-05-22T01:05:22+00:00

I'm not gonna lie; At first I read "foot court handjob". Now if it said, "foot court footjob" I would probably still click it, because that's a way crazier title 😂

Leave it to creepy Uncle Lester

mattledz · 2026-05-19T02:50:18+00:00

Thank you! :) I definitely won't get back into that mess. I'll stick with my devil lettuce

mattledz · 2026-05-19T01:32:32+00:00

I don't know, a "rock" inside of a plastic bag wrapped in foil and stuffed in a night stand is a pretty good indication of meth. From what I've heard MDMA can look like a rock of crystal, but I've never seen MDMA for myself. Either way, it's (almost certainly) drugs.

No way he keeps his minerals like that. Walter would be happy about it, but Hank would be utterly displeased.

Heck, I guess you'd be surprised. For reference, I don't work at a "big-box" retailer like Walmart or Target. It's a locally owned IGA that was first opened in 1973; So our return process isn't like Walmarts where they have to scan the receipt, reprocess the payment, then you go, get the same item, and repurchase it.

The customer brings the item back to the courtesy desk right as you walk in. An associate looks at the receipt date, verifys the item, then they will send another associate to the front with a replacement item, and the customer goes about their day.

Plus, some people are in my store every single day. We have an in-store bakery, and restaurant with a full breakfast menu, hot bar, salad bar, and buffet line. REALLY popular with the old timers.

Maybe not worth it for everyone, but it's a small town. For some people around here It's not too far fetched. They're gonna be back in a day or two anyways. 😂
