Wonder whatever happened to that guy. Hated everyone with a clipboard by the Loop, they were passive aggressive to the max. Finally just told one in as stern a look possible I was a recently paroled felon. The look of horror on the guy's face was something I wish I could've taken a picture of. It's true. The scariest thing you can see someone holding in the Loop isn't a gun, it's a loving clipboard

I should open a "Ralps" though.

Ralphs make me sad the one by my house has an insanely bad parking lot and is really hard to get out of and back to my apartment, and the other convenient one is right on my drive home from the office but it also has a bad parking lot and really lovely meat section and is full of old russian people. Produce section is on point though.Chinatown posted:Ralph's is a good supermarket and I shop there all the time plus the people who work there are super chill and unionized and enjoy their jobs it seems!

Also they just remodeled their deli and they have a pizza oven and other good stuff.

Yeah there is one across the street from my buddies that isbrand new and is fancy as gently caress but the one on the way home for me is old and run down. It sucks cause its so convenient to just stop by to get dinner on the way back to the apartment is super convenient instead of going out of my way, but half the time I still have to go to a second market to get poo poo that they didnt have at the Ralphs

I hate it when you tell them you don't have a credit card for whatever reason and they keep talking to you like they're interested in your story. Stop trying to make me feel guilty. Tried to use some language skills and to brush them off once. "Como? Lo siento 'migo, no entiendo.", but it was in Arizona they had someone who speaks Spanish and I had to dig deeper with "Que? No, no no, falla espanol, portugesa?" I don't think they believed me. Wanna drop a "Cao ni ma?" one day but I don't have the balls.

Once when I got asked for change for a train in Portland, I calmly turned and said in the most sincere voice I could "oh, didn't you know, we're in Portland, all the trains are free here!" She jumps up and explodes, telling me I'm a human being, a dumb gay human being with a little dick, and I don't remember much else as my friends and I were almost falling over laughing so hard, as she gets more, and more pissed. She followed me for 2 blocks until we went into a bar. Now I just shake my head and smile, knowing I can never top that one.

I also watched a panhandler that stands at a busy intersection with a "I'm Broke - Help" signs have cars stop to give him change, and after 3 cars gave him change the 4th one sitting behind them didn't, so he got pissed and tried to open the car's passenger door. The driver was horrified and sped off.

What happens when you've got ten asking you every day? Thats the thing, one or two bucks is nothing but when it's everyday compassion and financial fatigue sets in pretty quick.

One time I was hungry and wanted to eat healthy so I went to buy a salad at a store and sat, eating the salad inside. A person comes into the store and offers me 50 cents for a bite of my salad. As an employee comes by shoo'ing him away, the person looks at me and tells the employee that I wanted to give him some salad. I didn't. I also don't eat store bought salad anymore, they're expensive!

I was in Campfire, 4-H, sports, band, you name it. I won all kinds of poo poo for outselling all the other kids. The best prizes were a bike and a tv, but the Disneyland tickets were pretty good too. To this day, whenever I see kids trying to sell for their organization, I buy stuff no matter what because I know what it's like to stand there and have assholes brush me off.
