1. Yes, which I've accomplished by gradually cutting down the number of people I buy presents for by about 90%. 😁

2. White Noise (the grocery store scene)

Retail Hell: How I Sold My Soul to the Store | Freeman Hall

In our latest episode we discuss the etiquette of where to place your shopping cart once you finish shopping and then segue into the possibility (inevitability?) of fully automated grocery stores. I'd be curious to hear what you all think!

MicheleinPhilly So bizarre. What was their goal? 🤔 4y

BookishMarginalia @MicheleinPhilly Right? So elaborate! 4y

eanderson What the what?!?! I don‘t understand how people are ok phishing someone and going to the extent that they did. I‘ve come to the conclusion that there are just a lot of sucky people in the world. 4y

A Year Without "Made in China": One Family's True Life Adventure in the Global Economy | Sara Bongiorni

I read this a few years ago. I think this is an important read given our current situation. I don't have all the answers, but this sheds light on some of the issues we (our government/our businesses) have created.

#papergirlsgiveaway Thank you for the giveaway @BookishGirl06 ! I am thankful that I have Thanksgiving off. My work is open on Thanksgiving because people continue to shop on the day so the company won't pass up the chance to make money. I would be even more thankful if I had Black Friday off but that is too much to hope for.😞

BookishGirl06 I pretty much have the same thing going on. I have thanksgiving off, my store is open that day and I‘m working Black Friday too. But I have the next week off so looking forward to that 6y

Maewyn @BookishGirl06 That would definitely be incentive to get through the most evil retail day of the year! 6y

Trashcanman They should force non essential businesses to close on Thanksgiving giving but what the hell do I know. #greed #whothehellneedstogobuyshitonthanksgiving #stuff #alwaysjuststuff #consumers 6y

Maewyn @Trashcanman yeah, I had a lady with a handful of stuff say to me. "It is a shame you guys are open on Thanksgiving. At least you got to spend the afternoon with family right?" No, I didn't actually because I have to travel to see my family and I didn't have the day off. She wasn't amused with my non-guilt assuaging answer. 6y

Trashcanman @Maewyn good for you, I mean we are all consumers but fighting and trampling people for stuff the day after or even the day that we are supposed to be grateful for shit is completely lost on so many. 6y
