And bathrooms

The only reason we have sex based bathrooms is because the women's bathrooms used to say colored on them and we never got the building codes changed.

Not totally relevant, but: that little tub of Philadelphia cream cheese is like $8 nowadays. What in the ever-loving fuck? And yet you can still buy a brick of that shit for $1.60. Trying to get cream cheese out of that folded-over piece of foil is certainly annoying, but it's worth paying 5X as much to get it out of a convenient tub instead? Make it make sense.

Another problem solved by self-checkout.

Always struck me as a city thing, not a white people thing.

Maybe things have changed, but in the small town where I grew up, people generally wouldn't bother.

  • there would usually be a gap delineating one persons items from the other's anyways

  • the person who was professionally scanning our groceries 100% had the expertise to see the gap and comprehend its meaning

  • If (I never ever saw it happen, ever) they had grabbed something, someone would have noticed, said "whoops, that's not mine". Nobody would think someone was trying a scam.

I feel like this is an amazing measure of someone's general level of anxiety. Or maybe a measure of how little credit they give the person scanning groceries? Both?

It's a measure of how often some asshole that doesn't leave a gap between their groceries and the previous appear on the store.

Shouldn't have cropped the top person's username so we could see who supports being slightly disruptive, lol.

The real issue is you're using it sideways
