You obviously didn't experience the joy of standing in the same checkout line as I. It was the only time I have ever left a full buggy in the line as I walked out of the store.

You perma-quit a store because there was a shitty line one time?

Of course, the best thing Kohl's ever gave us was,

People who spend an hour returning things that are worth less than 20 dollars

Yes, I did.

****ing coupons flying everywhere was bad enough, but when the clerk at the sole register had to leave to go do a price check on several items that were 97% off or some such BS, I could stand no more. Never again will I subject myself to standing behind a bunch of damn people scrambling for fractions of pennies.

Mmm, yes, that DOES sound like something that could only happen in a Kohl's. Best to stay away.

I would totally buy Tom clothes from Kohl's for Christmas if he was on my list, and make sure they HAD to be returned, just to screw with him.

Reading a news article stating the federal min wage is $7.25. I didn't realize it was still insanely low because big cities pay double, but wtf how is that still a thing to pay someone wages that were insufficient in the 90s.

$7.25 is just under $15,100 annually for a full time job, under $30,200 for a household of two.

some claim these are positions for teens and those damn kids should be happy to have extra spending money,
but the shifts are scheduled during school hours and in the middle of weeknights.

wait, my apologies...what were you saying?
i was distracted by this earnings report and only heard part of it

Based on the spam e-mail I just got from Circa, and in similar fashion as not being able to use "Super Bowl", the fact that they can't say "Masters" in their ads anymore.

(Two inna row? That pisses me off, also)

Napkins. Restaurants (usually FF or fast casual) using the cheap folded over napkins that are interleaved and designed for dispensers. Tough to get more than a single napkin out at a time (by design, I'm sure). And if they are not in the dispenser, then one will usually fall out of the stack when you try to grab multiple napkins. Much prefer the triple fold with a 'flap' (designed for a different kind of dispenser).

Also (3! Or 4?), that I've spent this much time thinking about it.

When ordering Door Dash or whatever app the categories that say black owned or on Yelp/websites that feel the need to point out black owned businesses. I don't care who or what owns it but the part that pisses me off is that i automatically feel like i'm not allowed to order from there lol?

I am 50/50 white and Indian if that matters for some reason lol.
