I worked in mall retail and at one of my first jobs, the manager taught me the trick of taking the money that they gave you and setting it on the register, counting back the change, THEN putting the physical dollars they gave you in the register. That way there was none of this “I gave you a $20” nonsense. Our…

Laughed for real out loud at this. I mean, how else were you supposed to proceed?

Not an allergy request but a ridiculous coffee request. At one cafe where I used to work, we kept the milk and cream behind the counter and would pour it in for the customer ourselves unless they asked to do it. One woman asked for me to make her coffee “about your color.” Because I’m neither coffee nor milk, I have…

I finally got the joke! I assumed it was some sort of Aussie slang, but now I realise there are people in this world who think a cappuccino is actually spelled/pronounced “cup of chino”. Thanks, Yahoo Answers!

This is the exact reason that I don’t use Amazon’s subscription thing for goods like toilet paper or hygiene products. Would it be easier/cheaper to have everything delivered to my door every month? Sure. However, if I get to the point where I can’t bring myself to leave the house to get toilet paper, I want to be…

You and I are communicating with each other on magic electric boxes that transfer encoded information at across a global network of interconnected devices to share messages at speeds so close to the speed of light, the difference is barely discernible to our human senses. And we’re using it to discuss how lazy we…

Consider cooking larger batches of meals over the weekend. It saves you time when cooking dinner/packing lunches throughout the week. Having it on hand also keeps you from falling back into eating out when you’re feeling lazy.

I’ve made 3 simple, easy changes in the past year that are really paying off. First, I took all but one of my credit cards out of my wallet. Second, I’m cooking more meals at home. Third, I make an extra payment on my highest balance credit card every week. $10 a week, so it doesn’t hurt at all when it comes out, but…

Wait, do you people cook just the “right” amount of food everytime? We for example cook for a regimen everytime, some dishes don’t end up as good if cooked in small quantities.

Yes, the financial tunnel-vision is very real. When my budget is tight, I feel guilty for going to a gas station to get a hot dog. Now, is it true that $2 every now and then adds up over time? Sure! But you know what also adds up over time? The extra $40 every month I was paying on my internet bill before I called…

Why should *I* have to be extraordinary to earn the same as the *average* or even *below-average* man??

Also, just WTF with this statement.She is actually saying that women should just work harder than men to be treated equally. DO MORE WORK TO BE TREATED THE SAME. I just. I just can’t.

If Fox News did a segment on the “myth” of wage inequality where all of the anchors got together and had to lay their paychecks side by side to openly see who makes what, and then watch the ones who make more try to justify their higher wage to the lower paid anchors, I would watch the shit outta that train wreck.

Um, the problem is that we already have women who are extraordinary, who take as many opportunities they can take on and are badass at what they do...and those women are still making less than their male counterparts.

“You can still get paid the same, you just have to work twice as hard for it!”

Yep, no problem with that at all.

The issue is two-fold: Some parents (see my anecdote above) just instinctively go to “Argh medical emergency” over the fact their kid got a splinter. If those parents don’t retrain their responses, they’re going to raise anxiety-prone hypochondriacs.
