How in the world do heels sound like WET flip flops? Flip flops, okay whatever. But WET ones?

Aw rats, I hope work goes smoothly.

I don’t like theme parks, personally.

[Kitalpha Hart]

I have no fucking clue I was seriously confused when I heard them too

Here's hoping, but people seem to expect more cuz Fight Fest
No shut up go away unless you're buying shit

Working at one definitely takes the gloss off of them

[Vivianne]

People are unbelievably demanding sometimes and want everything to meet their unrealistic standards. It’s horrible and I really wish you (or anyone!) don’t have to deal with it.

Working in almost anything takes the shine off of things, I think? You realize how much effort goes into this thing, and the magic is gone.

[Kitalpha Hart]

It's really fun when they throw a temper tantrum because I'm retail and they expect me to help with a rides thing
Dude. No. Not even close. Talk to them they're rides. And stop acting like a toddler having a meltdown

[Vivianne]

I am HIGHLY ANNOYED for you.

My mom worked for a decade or so in a retail environment and it just got way too stressful. Phones would be ringing, she had to contact other people and deal with drive thru and walk in customers, and that was just some parts of her job that required interaction. She frequently had to do it with little to no help or in a very busy environment.

So, yeah, I respect retail and people-facing workers a lot.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Food service gets all that cooking equipment heat going too
Oof

[Vivianne]

She was a retail pharmacist. It was so difficult.

I admire her.

Food workers have to deal with some very demanding requests. There are genuine allergies and sensitivities, but there are also A TON of fad diets.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Most of the fad diets don't work, and some are actually bad
And those that do work? Well, they only keep working if you keep at it, any gains will be lost if one stops soon as they reach their goal

Yeah people are dumb with the whole dieting thing

[Vivianne]

I have a schedule where I HAVE to eat frequently or I lose a ton of weight.

It sounds okay, until the restrictions and other ridiculousness come in.

Basically, it’s a pain for everyone.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah if you have to get a specific thing because otherwise your body goes ballistic, you really don't have a choice in the matter
The faddies tho, they can suck it

[Vivianne]

I saw a post or a tweet where someone was recalling seeing a woman at Whole Foods demanding ‘grass-fed chicken.’

Just. People.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Oh yeah I've seen that too
"I want your finest chicken-fried beef"
Wut

[Vivianne]

Maybe “chicken fried beef” is a mix up of “chicken fried steak”?

I don’t even understand what chicken fried steak is.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Chicken fried steak has an alternate name of country fried steak
The breading and cooking process is similar to fried chicken
So in this case, chicken fried is the description

[Vivianne]

Huh. That’s one mystery solved. Thanks!

I typically eat homemade meals or frozen stuff. There’s a lot of food I’m clueless about...

Have you had anything tasty recently?
