Do you sometimes look at people's carts and wonder just how rich they must be? A customer had 4 carts FULL and checking just this one customer out took me 20 minutes. Either she has a humongous family or they're super loaded and just have an eternally STACKED up pantry. All I can do is wonder what it's like to have that life.

They may not be rich. They may be stocking up. My wife and I go to the grocery once a month since it’s a long trip. We stock up and always get comments on how full our cart is or that we have two cart fulls.

You don’t know people situations. Don’t judge. It’s irritating when we get dumb comments from shoppers and workers.

I see carts like that and start mentally calculating if I can afford even one of their snacks. At this point, I think some people are prepping for the apocalypse, or just really hate running out of paper towels.

I usually assume they are a small business or something like that. The majority of people don't have money lying around to just keep endless food in their pantry. I also think about the fact that everything has an expiration date and wonder how much expired food they have in their house…

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
