i have lots of flaws but i do at least take a fair amount of comfort knowing that, if i were a customer NPC in a fast food/retail management game, i would be one of the chill early-level ones that can wait a super long time before they start getting impatient, and you breathe a sigh of a relief when you see them show up in a harder level

#buny text #was standing in line at popeyes today and they were SUPER busy and the staff couldn't even take my order for a while #and the guy at the till was like 'so sorry for the wait we'll get to you soon i promise' and i was like hey no worries 👍#and he gave me this look that i understood from my own time in retail to mean 'thank you for being fucking normal'#there was nobody else behind me cuz i showed up at the very end of the lunch rush i think #and in that moment i just pictured like. a lil timer wheel above my head that was still green and mostly full lmao #i love being nice to retail workers it's so fun

my hate for the walton family is literally equal to my hate for jeff bezos. "alice walton seen on her yacht" while walmart has a business model built around poverty of its employees like please jump off the yacht at a high enough altitude to kill yourself if i'm being honest

#obviously every major retail company has a similar business model but walmart is so blatant about it

the idea of the black organization having like. a reality tv show that's only available to the organization members is so fucking funny to me. they call it "the BO secret files" or whatever and it's just

they have karaoke night at headquarters and gin unexpectedly breaks out the opera music One Time and never does it again. there's an episode where chianti and korn are having an eating competition. the whiskey trio are setting up for a jam session and bourbon is distraught that rye brought an accordion instead of a guitar. vermouth, kir, curaçao, and chianti have girls night and korn and vodka are also there. someone manages to get a clip of gin talking to his car

#khyt.detcoposting #what do they do in their free time #do some of them have like. other jobs when they're not on a mission #not undercover jobs like kir and bourbon. I mean like. literally just a random job to keep busy #he would not do this but could you imagine gin working retail or something 😭#you can't tell me he sits around admiring his car in his spare time

modern AU where they meet again at the fast food place Xie Lian works at and Hua Cheng has to figure out how to romance a customer service employee

#tbh this is kind of a similar situation to the original - where xie lian is kind of obligated to take care of him as a young runaway #except here he is obligated to hand him a big mac #if you allow me to be a bit more deranged with the au:#xie lians manager (jun wu) (most powerful franchise owner) tries to tell him off for holding up the line talking to the hot goth guy #but turns out hua cheng is a renowned restaurant critic and has gotten 33 businesses closed #so he can’t say shit #hua cheng is picking up food for he xuan. btw.#ive been having immense brainrot about them lately but #less so about angst/plot/romance #more so about #putting them in mundane silly scenarios.#this is also very indulgent. its like therapy for me (<- retail worker)#put hyour ideas for the mcdonalds tgcf au in the tags <3 #has anybody written a fic about this btw id like to read it #tgcf #hualian #art #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #xie lian #hua cheng #mxtx #digital art #my art #comic #lmao #hob #tgcf mcdonalds au

Do people know most paper receipts are harmful to their health?

I'm going to get up on my soapbox for a minute, but do people realize how pretty much everyone is being overloaded with endocrine disruptors like BPA/BPS on a near-daily basis??

I don't think many people understand that ever since most of the world transitioned to thermal paper receipts (cheaper than ink), almost every receipt you handle from the gas station to the grocery store to the Square terminal printer at the local co-op is coated with Bisphenol-A (BPA) or its chemical cousin Bisphenol-S (BPS).

These chemicals have not only been proven to cause reproductive harm to human and animals, they've also been linked to obesity and attention disorders.

Not sure if your receipt is a thermal receipt? If you scratch it with a coin and it turns dark, it's thermal.

BPA/BPS can enter the skin to a depth such that it is no longer removable by washing hands. When taking hold of a receipt consisting of thermal printing paper for five seconds, roughly 1 μg BPA is transferred to the forefinger and the middle finger. If the skin is dry or greasy, it is about ten times more.

Think of how many receipts you handle every day. It's even worse for cashiers and tellers, who may handle hundreds in a single shift. It is also a class issue, since many people who work retail and food service are lower-income and will suffer worse health consequences over time from the near-constant exposure.

Not only that, receipts printed with thermal ink are NOT recyclable, as they pollute the rest of the paper products with the chemicals.

People don't know this and recycle them anyway, so when you buy that "green" toilet paper that says "100% recycled"? Yup, you are probably wiping your most sensitive areas with those same chemicals (for this reason, I buy bamboo or sugarcane toilet paper as a sustainable alternative to recycled paper).

This page from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has some good links if you want to learn more.

As consumers, we need to demand better from our businesses and from our governments. We need regulation of these chemicals yesterday.

If you are a buyer or decision-maker for a business, the link above also contains a shortlist of receipt paper manufacturers that are phenol-free.

If you work at a register, ask customers if they want a receipt. If they don't and you can end the transaction without printing one, don't print one!

As a consumer, fold receipts with the ink on the inside, since that's where the coating is. Some more good tips here.

And whatever you do, DO NOT RECYCLE THERMAL RECEIPTS

I have been on a bit of a kick for the last few months, setting a budget and then buying everything that caught my eye in the timeline until I hit the total every month. The goods I have received in return are blowing my mind, you guys!

The timeline is so creative and talented and amazing, I am in awe of all y'all's handskills. This post is an ENDORSEMENT of these artists, for real.

if no pics, it means I haven't quite received the order yet (but I am super looking forward to it), or I am still waiting on a frame.

in no order:

from @lunarlightforge, a great knife in a sheath whose theme goes with the Smol Gods. Due to the smallish handle size on this one, it has become MY daily carry, rather than the birthday gift I had in mind when shopping 😂

from @hyydraworks, an adorable trio of the tiniest cows for the Smol Gods to steward. they are so very tiny and so very detailed 🐮❤️

from @yuumei-art , a super deal on a quintuple of gorgeous prints, a couple to keep and a couple intended as gifts

from @claypigeonpottery , a fabulously glazed plate and superchill capybara little dude

from @teaweltzer, a fantastically stitched pair of four-sided pyramid bags in super cute patterns and a couple of myco stickers

from ruralpearl, #Angie Pickman, a super-sentimental-to-me fox print I just love

from @fruitblush , a brightly colored reminder that Palestine persists

from StellaNCWorks, a pair of nature-inspired small dishes for various desktop goods

from @creations-by-chaosfay , a super bright set of miniature quilts (coasters)

from @littlebirdinagarden , the warmest soothingest saturated hand-dyed colorway to ever match its name, Moth Orchid

from @robinsceramics, a couple of little guys to add to what I guess is gonna be an ongoing pottery collection? I love them so much already; chinchilla is so fren shaped!

#small business #retail therapy means supporting small business and handmade stuff #hand crafted #art #I don't make a ton of money but I like to spread it around!

Midwest Mountaineering, 1971-2023

Outdoor sporting retailer, Midwest Mountaineering, a fixture of the Cedar-Riverside and West Bank neighborhood, will close its doors for good in October.

Rod Johnson opened Midwest Mountaineering in the upstairs of 1408 Hennepin Avenue in 1971, when he was just in his early 20s. An avid mountain climber, kayaker, hiker, and skier, Johnson began buying climbing gear at wholesale prices for himself in 1969, then turned it into a shop. He sold quality climbing, backpacking, camping, snowshoeing and ski touring equipment at discount prices. In 1976 he opened in a larger space at 309 Cedar Avenue and has been there ever since, expanding the space through the years to the 23,000 square feet it currently occupies. Earlier this month, Johnson announced the store would be closing in early October, unable to compete with online retailers, and the building would be put up for sale, promoted to local developers.

And the West Bank goes the way of Dinkytown...

See photos of Midwest Mountaineering through the years in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.

Had to stop for a moment at work thanks to the sudden realization that thanks to the Mouse Droid fic, it’s canon that Eli Vanto is exactly Tarkin’s type, and that makes his promotion process So Much Funnier in Thrawn.
