There have been protests. Also: teachers getting fired for protesting. It’s a tough situation for teachers and school librarians.

Huh. Two posts from you in this comment thread. You’re definitely either a troll, an asshole, or both.

Believe it or not, a lot of short-time adults (and others) were never taught anything about personal finances, including checking your receipts. All they know is either credit cards are bad or credit cards let you buy stuff and “you don’t have to pay for it right away” and that’s the extent of their knowledge.

From my experience (almost always at a Safeway), I always get a receipt and always run through it to make sure that I was charged properly for everything, especially the damn “Digital Coupon” items. And there are frequent overcharges requiring a visit to the customer service counter. Even they hate the Safeway app and…

Counter-point: a lot of people actively do not want a paper receipt.

No, no we don’t. We just assume you collect your receipts and don’t rely on your monthly credit card/bank statements like most people seem to do.

In these “post-ish-”COVID times, if somebody touches the food container or cup, we would NOT take it back but would have to do a remake. (This was at Starbucks.)

Can absolutely confirm #3 from the worker’s standpoint: I worked at Starbucks and twice was called out on these surveys by customers for excellent service and attitude. Believe me, these are all read by store managers (and often complaints from the perpetually cranky) and at least at our store, posted up for all the…

Real soylent was solid, not liquid.

...targeted books are those that “predominantly appeal to a prurient, shameful, or morbid interest,” are “patently offensive” and “without serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.”

Not at all. People take pride in choosing and owning a new car. The point is not whether you like the Crosstrek but that a lot people do like it. And I can tell you that it’s plenty fun to drive and does have the the get-up-and-go when you need it.

Also: after more than 5 years (maybe 10?), would somebody please get me out of the grays? Thanks!

Yeah, sure.

Red and Red 2 are the rare films where there is an “over-loaded” cast of big name stars and the film holds up as a worthy piece of work.

I don’t care about the Dunkin’ ad but that biopic “Air”? NO FUCKING WAY will I see it. Nike CEO Phil Knight (whom will be portrayed by Affleck) spends millions of dollars every election cycle here in Oregon trying to elect Republicans. Nope. And ever since I found out about that (about 4 year ago) I stopped buying…

Fiberglass body? What?

Counter-point to any Mazda3:

Exactly. If your local recycling company says “no” to any food stained paper or cardboard (e.g. a pizza box) then it’s not going to be recycled and just goes to the landfill, regardless of “debunking.”

Seriously? They’ve been around for awhile (2012 in their current form) and they’ve sold over $200 million of sponges. It’s probably the single biggest selling product that ever was on an episode of Shark Tank.
