Smile!

 


I have not had a real person check out my purchases in a very long time at a box store. One, because I usually order online and two, because I use self checkout. The last time I shopped at a Target was when Kyle Rittenhouse and gang stormed our K-town and I was offered the chance to head out of town until things cooled off. It was a good decision because Kyle shot three people outside my home. I might have joined the crowd that night. But, I digress because this is about smiling people. Target wants it's employees to greet every customer with a big smile and a, "How ya doing! Did you find everything you were looking for!?" (((Smile))) I have been tempted to say no and see what they actually do, but I understand they are under orders to ask this, so I let it go. I have only worked retail once back in the day during the holiday season to make some extra cash. It was at a Toys R (imagine a backwards R) Us, in the affluent side of town. Women wore three carat diamond rings and fur coats whilst arguing over the price of a plastic car set. I absolutely hated every minute of it. I was not a smiler. As ferrerman says, his resting face is bitch mode, I can relate. Mine is, fuck off, I hate you. The managers didn't care because at the end of my shift my money tray was always balanced. 

I would have liked to have been in the meeting where the Target suits were mulling over how to bring back customers after they got a real beating by being cowards and giving in to maga mentality.

Corporate: "Joe, how can we get our customers back?"

Joe: "Lower prices?"

Bzzzzzzzzzzzz

Corporate: "Anna, what do you suggest?"

Anna: "Be more inclusive and lower prices?"

Bzzzzzzzzzz

Corporate: "ChatGPT,  what do you recommend?"

AI: Smile! Everyone likes a smile. It puts a frown right side up! Would you like me to write a song for you?" 

Corporate: "That's it! Every employee must smile and be super friendly. Customers will feel so special they'll come back to us once again." 🎯 

Yeah, so now the pressure is on the employee who makes shit for a salary and has to deal with stressed customers, crying children, angry managers...

Smile! 

Here's the ditty from ChatGPT, who especially seemed to like this request since it went on and on...

I don't care for the self-checkout, myself. My sister told me that da Jewels lost a lot of money with that set-up. Walmart still uses it, and I read a lawyer column where the lady said, you make a mistake and they cheerfully bust you for stealing!

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
