Heyyyyy Trader Joe’s employee here.

Truthfully, everyone who works in a customer service job in NYC is dealing with some really shitty stuff. It’s the crowds and tourists and ridiculously rich people who never had to work a “low level” service job in their lives all being rude and impatient. Add in that you’d have to work about 80hrs a week to…

eh?... only times i get a genuine smile from floor staff at any store is when i say please/thank you (i think it catches them off guard)

It wasn’t even “historically accurate whiteness” though. Movies of the 30s/40s had numerous black actors, albeit in extremely racist roles of the maids, layabouts, dancers and so on, pretty much contained to character roles. But black people were a staple in films even back then. Hail Cesar leaving out the stable of…

Yeah, describing people as being a particular celebrity’s “type” isn’t terribly helpful. (“Looking for women that would remind Paul Giamatti of his college girlfriend, but in a pleasantly melancholic way (because of how that relationship started), not a bitter way (because of how it ended). Some nudity required.”)

But- salad.

This thread is honestly the most entertaining thing I’ve read all day.

What’s typical is the necessity to insert oneself into a discuss to ‘correct’ a perception that is valid. I think our conversations here reflect the difference of our cultural perspectives. Neiman Marcus has appropriated this dish and marked it up. Fine. You think the cost is not that terrible. Also fine. Some of us…

That’s the thing that set me off last night.

Why are they bothering? After a lifetime of buying & preparing greens does anyone really believe they can tell us what we should be willing to pay? As if I’ll look at the comment and go, ‘By golly, I’ve been had! I made fun of it, and it turns out that’s a fair deal. Tell me everything you know about grits.’ GTFOHWTBS

“FIND ME THE STORE THAT WILL SELL YOU A SERVING OF JELLY BREAD WITH REAL PEANUT BUTTER FOR UNDER $10!!!”

Tell. Her.

$7 a serving is completely ridiculous for collard greens. My first search result for “bulk catered collard greens” is a barbecue joint that sells them for $11.95/qt; a quart is 2x plus the size of a 12-oz tray. So right off, you could pay $24 for the SAME PORTION of greens if you got them from not-Neiman-Marcus.

Finish Him.

Damn it, that attitude is fucking dangerous. Hillary is not safe. She has not been elected. The polls are uncomfortably close, and encouraging people to pull this morally pure shit plays right into Donald’s teeny hands.

I’m a parent of two high functioning autistic children and also a former xc runner. I can tell you from experience that I’ve seen many a neuro-typical person lose their way on a cross country course. Also, autistic people are part of your world whether you realize it or not. No one is throwing them into the world. I’m…

I’ll take “What is tuesday in Rochester, Alex?”

Forgive me, but I couldn’t help looking for an Adams Apple?

This election is so exhausting

And on the other side of side of the coin, there’s both the dehumanizing sexualization of Black women and women of color and/or the de-sexualization of us so that we’re not see as competition against our white counterparts. Not that I want us placed on a pedestal at all, as that others WOC and controls our sexuality.…
