I think it’s important to note, as the author has, that our generation is removed from the generation of Mad Men. Where our generation’s feminists can look at things like ironing, baking, etc and acknowledge that both men and women can perform this task, in our mother’s generation it was women’s work.

One of the main points of this article was that not very long ago, women WERE obligated to do domestic work because they were women, and they weren’t allowed to do anything else. Have fun with your bread.

I’m not sure why some feminists feel the need to mock domestic things like ironing, cooking, baking, etc.

I mean, that just seems a bit much. They aren’t making lattes out of the goodness of their heart, it’s their job. As long as you’re not being a dick about it, it’s not some kind of cruel burden for a barista to make you a drink.

I’d bet money she was a nightmare to work under too. She also appears not to know that there is an app for paying for things at Starbucks, which you should know if you’re the manager. I’ve dealt with many asshole customers in my life, and she’s still not getting an ounce of sympathy from me.

Solidarity? Why? She was the manager and she apparently didn’t know that there’s an app for paying for things at Starbucks. I worked shitty service jobs for years and thus have a lot of sympathy for service industry workers (and low-status workers in general), but I have little sympathy for someone who has a tantrum…

Solidarity with a clearly crazy woman...Chen apologized...and then got accused onf stealing. This isn’t her going off for holding up the line this Melissa yelled at her, accused her of a crime, yelled at other customers who were obviously on Chen’s side, and tried to ban both them and Chen. I understand identifying…

I never really got mad if people wanted complicated drinks (as long as it was something that was an actual drink and not some bizarro thing I’d have to read your mind about). It was just if they were impatient about it. The most impatient people - like, everyone ahead of them has a complicated drink, the line is long,…

And you can tell this woman’s first language is not English from her Facebook post, so fuck people who are trying to subtly justify this treatment even harder. Watching store clerks snap at my family members who can’t understand rapid fire English leaves me with zero interest in seeing this from the fake manager’s…

I really don’t see that as passive aggressive. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.” Ok. You’re sorry - legit apology. That’s normal. Also, you didn’t hear the person. That’s a statement of fact and lets them know that it was unintentional. That’s cool and a normal thing to say and makes sense. “You don’t have to yell”…

That’s what you took away from this? She didn’t have to yell. That’s insane. If telling someone that is passive aggressive, then I don’t know what kind of VIP treatment you think this barista deserves when she’s literally humiliating customers for no reason.

Yeah, but sometimes the double whammy of paying for a service and then having the business offering you the exact opposite of that service leaves a sour taste that has to be rectified by more than just turning the other cheek.

Shouldn’t be, but I’m sort of amazed at the people in line after her that just push forward like sheep as the incident ends. If you aren’t going to get involved yourself somehow, maybe at least you’d walk away and out of the store? Just on instinct alone, that would make more sense to me. If someone is going full…

WTF is this? Waiter who wants to be a rapper who stole the Shroud of Turin from Vlad Dracul? WTF is alpha about this omega?

Here’s a fact: forced and affected confidence is the leading cause of vaginal dryness.

Ugh, this asshole. “I work in the movie biz but I don’t know what streaming means and never heard of amazon, even though I signed a contract with them.” Sure Woody, suuuuuuure.

so if i’m getting this right,

I really don’t know why Woody Allen continues to be paid to do anything. Everything he’s ever done is vastly overrated.

I’ve never seen The Sopranos, or Mad Men. I’m out every night and when I come home, I watch the end of the baseball or basketball game, and there’s Charlie Rose and I go to sleep.

Good thing you blackened his face and de-invented Google.
