Part of me has the knee jerk reaction of “yeah that totally happened”
But then I remember the lady that got really mad at me for giving her a senior discount because I thought she forgot to ask and had her wallet open with her id visible while she wrote a check so yeah…
If I’ve learned anything about client facing jobs, it’s that people can get pissed about the most anodyne, routine shit. Some people just want to be mad.
bruh my mom milks that shit like crazy
‘I’M SO OLD I’M DECAYING PLEASE DISCOUNT NOW’
My parents don’t look nearly as old as they are, so they have to show ID for the senior discount when they buy booze. Life comes full circle.
I still get carded to see if I’m 18. Not often, but enough. I fix this by going to places regularly.
the free food felt like a power play, a way to feel as though he had authority over us
Imagine having your brain so rotted by capitalism you can’t even comprehend the concept of hospitality, instead assuming that it’s all somehow a cynical ploy to… uh, somehow feel power over the customers by being nice to them?
I’ve sometimes thought that one of the reasons for a lot of western leftists’ rejection of the achievements of AES (beyond the simple reason of just racism) is a similar kind of :brainworms: - they’ve had their brains so broken by living under a dysfunctional capitalist government their entire lives that they can’t even comprehend the idea of a government actually just doing good things. You couldn’t possibly be building housing and providing people with education because, you know, you actually want to improve their lives - it’s all has to be some kind of ploy, some attempt at manipulation, what else could it be! Reminds me of that idiotic tweet about how literacy programs were actually a tool of propaganda.
Tell me about it: “They pay universal chikd support with MY money to earn poor people’s votes!!!1!1!”
It always feels like “Buying Votes” is some kind of bad thing when libs talk about it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they looked at a utopia and complained that the government in power only provided free healthcare, childcare, guaranteed free housing, guaranteed jobs, affordable food, total freedom, etc etc as a ploy to buy votes.
“Look they get 100% of the votes, it must be rigged.”
teacher you forgot to collect the homework!!!
I accidentally reminded the teacher to give homework once.
Dear fucking god I regretted that 10 picoseconds later.
