Checking out a big cart. Another cart gets in line behind him. Asks me to open another lane. I tell him I’m sorry but I’m the only checker left at this time of night. He says, open another lane or I’m walking out. I say, I’ll be done here in just one minute. He walks out and leaves his whole cart of refrigerated stuff for me to frantically put back before it goes bad

My life would be better if he were funnier looking. Just a slender white guy, maybe 60 years old, slacks and a dress shirt, glasses

In these stories I’m just crossing from my fingers for upper middle class types, but I guess they might not frequent Kroger so much.

I don’t live in a very high income area. When I used to work closer to Boulder I got a lot of well off people buying up natural products. I was always surprised they didn’t just go to Whole Foods.

What about that description precludes him from being upper middle class?

Why do customers think walking out is some kind of effective protest?
Note to self: updating laptop on uni wifi before you go home is not a 2 minute thing when one of the updates is firmware and you have 20 kernel versions installed because you're too lazy to delete them.

Sometimes the ... separation between my positivity and my angry thoughts can get pretty thin in my brain
Like I apply a positive spin to a lot of stuff, intentionally, that I could let make me a little upset
And it would just be a single, small thing
But I know if I did that, I would eventually add another single, small thing on top of that
And it would repeat, small things being piled on top of small things
Until I had an unsmall pile of angry feelings
And I ain't got time for that
I got bees to watch
They're very industrious

Alternately pretend I posted something about yuri, Watamote, Overwatch, and Kpop
i'm thankful you didn't go for Watamote.
i'm sorry but Watamote makes me feel real bad.
actually, no, that's a lie.
i'm not sorry.

In honor of the monstrous pizza discussion earlier, may I p r e s e n t
The breakfast pizza. How will this turn out? Will it be tasty? Will my sudden thought that maybe the eggs will cook at a vastly different rate be something I should have thought of earlier?
Who knows, but we're in this together now!
An important update:
This turned out quite tasty, tho next time I will take @Casual Eddy's advice and add the eggs partway through, since they developed a hard, glossy exterior that was very difficult to bite through (at least while the rest of the pizza was still magmatic).
I also made chocolate chip cookies and they were delish.
I think I personally will pass on Watamote because, from what I've seen, Tomoko is, like, the most mundane version of chaotic evil that I've ever seen and that isn't real appealing to me

Properly cooking eggs on a pizza is always tough. Additional straight from the fridge normally helps

18-35 year olds are my best customers in terms of disposition and thoughtfulness
What I'm hearing is that I, personally, am perfect and flawless
it's a really dramatic difference. if things are taking a while, they just check their phone rather than glaring daggers. if there's a technical issue, they are cool- they use technology every day and understand there are glitches and shit. when something is outside of my control- a supply chain issue or whatever- they are reasonable. they are early enough in their careers that unlike my older customers, they haven't forgotten what it's like to be powerless. half of my old customers do their USED TO BE PEOPLE WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, AMERICA like i'm the founder.
this is all setting aside quality of life issues- they're quicker with their cards, they don't make dumb jokes about DIDN'T SCAN IT'S FREE etc. from a purely 'not being an asshole' perspective younger retail customers are light years kinder.

Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
The only time I've gotten mad at a cashier in recent years was when a cashier did... something... to cause an error to appear on the register screen that said "Press F10 to continue" and then proceeded to pound on keys randomly and look around confused. When I said "hey, just do what it says on the screen" she said "yeah uh I dunno," wandered off, found a manager who came over, pressed F10 on the keyboard, and apologized to me.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I’m gonna maul him with a daiquiri blender
Can we maybe tone this down a bit please?

It might be dangerous for inebriated people to be wielding blenders anyway
Chu doesn’t work on commission. Piss off, jerk.
It did make a lot more work for me (30m for me to shop everything back, vs 90s for me to check out the order)
But idk if he thought of that when leaving it
Explain the original Bloody Mary recipe then
No he didn't because he's a jerkmobile runnin on jerkfuel
I don't think I can, because I don't think I know it
Suddenly I am worried that it called for actual blood ...
Must be exhausting

My roommate gets her dog such bougie food that I had to stare at this for a couple seconds before realizing it was pet food
