The stick is a universal if you have a cart of groceries, we all need the stick in those times to guide us. The thing that gets me is when I put a hand basket on the belt and the person in front of me gives me the stink eye and slaps the stick between their loose groceries and my contained and obviously separate basket of groceries like I was trying to trick them to pay for my stuff. It’s not just white or old people, though, being a douche is a human quality, not a racial or generational thing.
I thought basket of groceries on the belt was a social faux pas?
Because then the check out people can’t plan their bagging of heavy / light?
It’s a hand basket, there are at most two bags worth of stuff in it. If you’ve got a bunch of heavy shit that needs separated then you’re doing it wrong.
at most two bags worth of stuff in it.
You dont know how to hand basket very well.
You don’t know what hand baskets are for, get a cart.
I always empty my basket onto the conveyor. Seems rude of me to assume the cashier should reach over and into a basket just to ring up my goods. Do you also make them unload your buggy when you use those?
What was the response you were hoping to get from this?
Just trying to teach children how to be adults. You can lead a horse to water and all.
Don’t break an arm jerking yourself off.
What? As an Asian American I and my family love that damn stick.
Don’t be lumping my flavorful ingredients with some white guys bland crap at the Chinese grocery store.
But seriously everyone should use that thing because it makes the cashier’s job easier, faster, and smoother for everyone.
Do people not use it?
I’ve noticed that Middle Eastern refugees don’t use them as often. Maybe it wasn’t a thing in where they’re coming from? Dunno.
This is no stick. This is a KUNDENDIFFERENZIERUNGSMODUL
No it’s obviously a WARENTRENNER
That stick is a fine line between order and chaos.
I don’t get it. I don’t want to stand in line longer waiting while the cashier unscans my items from the person ahead’s order or unscans the next persons items from my order. They also often fuck it up anyway but still
Race baiting has really fallen off as a profession, I see.
I wouldn’t have any problem with not having this stick, but cashiers can’t seem to tell that a six-inch distance between my order and the next order is a good place to stop. Then we’re all sitting around for an extra couple of minutes while they try to get someone to come and authorize voiding the items.
Black people twitter is such a cesspit.
So desegregate it and pay for the groceries of the ones loading behind you
Only white people use them? I moved from the PNW down south and I can say they get used much less down here. Haven’t paid attention to race though
You’re right, from now on I’ll wait until they scan the next person’s item and then go “ew, god no. you really think I’d buy that garbage?”
Throw it in a crowd of white people and watch us fight over it like a pack of yorkshire terriers fighting over a milk bone.
My brother used to say that if you had enough of those dividers you could solve every property dispute because nobody violates that line.
Ive had cashiers blatantly ignore it and scan items for the wrong person many times now…
…I still use the stick, but also make sure theres plenty of space.
In Arkansas you’re now allowed to shoot at the feet of cashiers who sass you, so they keep tabs on it
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.
Foil is so easy with a butter knife. You can just scrape it clean. Much easier than digging it out with a spatula
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.
Ah yes, that’s why in the rest of the world that didn’t do racially segregated bathrooms there are only unisex bathrooms.
Most of the world has unisex bathrooms
Pretty much any large enough venue will have urinals, anywhere in the world.
I’m not sure what gave you that idea.
Have you spent much time in europe or south America?
It isn’t nearly as common outside the US, even in more developed countries
Thats not true. The history of segerated bathrooms are worse than that… during the Victorian era, public bathrooms were men only. Women were not expected to travel from their home, or carry piss pots with them. Women had to fight for their right to have access to facilities. Also employers used the excuse of lack of women facilities to not hire women. The reason segerated bathrooms exist in building codes are because of decades of women fighting for their rights…
Dont pin it on racism on good old fashion sexism.
Couldn’t possibly help with preventing sexual harassment either.
Edit: people seem to be interpreting my comment as transphobic, it’s not so calm your tits please.
You know what would help a lot more?
Having actual walls and doors for the toilets and not pathetic incomplete partitions with gaps large enough you can accidentally see who’s shitting.
Yes you’re probably right on that account.
The only sexual harassment that I hear about in restrooms are either trans people being harassed or cisgender people being accused of being trans. Both of these problems go away when you have desegregated restrooms.
Unfortunately I’m not so confident those problems would disappear, conservatives have a tendency to only follow the laws they like.
Sure, but they’re more likely to harass you if the law is on their side. If we only made laws that everybody would follow, then there would be no laws.
You aren’t a victim when someone you don’t like uses the bathroom
Grass is green.
Yeah man, because it’s definitely the trans kid doing the pee-pee dance and not the officer snapping coochie picks for “safety” we should be worrying about.
When did I say anything about transgender people?
I think they were talking about coed bathrooms, not about letting trans people pick the bathroom that matches their gender.
I personally agree that coed bathrooms would likely result in more sexual harassment/assaults.
That’s the same argument from a different false equivalency. Co-ed bathrooms exist all around the world. The fact that uncle Jim can’t stop fantasizing about watching someone pee shouldn’t stop other men from using the public restroom.
It’s called the Internet Jim. Look it up.
