WTF, Wisconsin?! We were proud to welcome among the highest numbers of people from Laos, and our agriculture depends on immigrants to function. This state is so divided against itself.

I haven't had this experience, thankfully. I usually have the opposite problem where I need assistance, and I look around helplessly as I wait for someone to notice me.

You can pull the self checkout option out of my rigid, dead, introverted hands.

I'm a pet product specialist for a pet food manufacturer. I respond to customer emails, calls, and chats about our products. This could mean assisting pet owners in selecting products based on their pets' unique medical or physiological needs, answering nutritional questions, handling complaints, and more. In my downtime I work on reference materials for the rest of the team, continuing education on animal nutrition (my last class was on avian flu in pet foods), and prepare promotional materials for expos and trade shows.

On light days we do a lot of sharing memes, shit talking in group chat, dicking around on the Internet, and finding other creative ways to fuck off.

Satirizing something and making light of something are different things.

Cats, very much so, for most of my life. I've enjoyed dogs, but cats have been my heart. While I was working at a shelter one of the dogs that arrived to us from a southern transport was a quiet, shy, but very sweet German Shepherd. It was love at first sight, and she never hit the adoption floor.

We were nervous to bring her home, because we didn't know how she would react to the cats. It was seamless, and now she enjoys fussing over foster kittens when I have them. She's opened my heart to dogs in a way I didn't think was possible. We're thankful for Ferda every day.

I do still categorize myself as a cat person, though.

Vulva for sure.

I don't think that would be the general case with humans under these kinds of circumstances. For most of history, women had many more children on average than we see in most of the world today. It was expected that many wouldn't live past three years old in much of known, recorded history. I can only imagine in circumstances even more primitive than what we know of, something like this wouldn't be as unthinkable as you're describing.

Terminally stupid in this case.

This is important to bring up. If we want to stop being subjected to this kind of fuckery, we need to unite and vote with our dollars. I love making egg-based dishes, but there are other options. The real problem is most people struggle with the idea of making sacrifices to get what they want later. Just don't buy eggs as an average consumer if they are that unaffordable.

In the United States, we are spoiled for choice when we shop. We're used to being able to get what we want when we want it, and that's led to a sense of entitlement. Eat other things, get creative. Look up effective substitutions for eggs in baking.

We don't have to take this. So don't.

No. Working in retail is a direct exchange of goods for money. You follow the policies of that establishment, or you take your business elsewhere. You don't have an actual tantrum over something so trivial and get catered to.

I'm now in a position where I have autonomy over what I offer to customers, and I agree with your principle. It doesn't apply in this situation, though.
