  • Isn’t that just an US thing in general? I’ve understood that everybody (especially in the south) always wants to have a conversation no matter if you’re strangers or not

    Over here in the Netherlands we just ignore eachother and when you go to buy groceries you wait for them to tell you the total and than you give them the money. No need to have a whole conversation and I love it that way, i don’t think i would survive the “southern hospitality” i always read about





  • When I worked as a restocker at a grocery store, they planned the majority of us for 3 hours a day (we were mostly minors so we didn’t know better), from 17:00 till 20:00. Because, at 3.5 hours, you were entitled to a 30 minute break, and even tho it was an unpaid break they still didn’t want you to take it. Did you get a lot more stuff then normal and so you had to work overtime? Tough shit, you still ain’t getting that break even tho it’s now 21:00

    Sometimes they would even cut some people their hours back if they felt that they weren’t working hard enough (again, we were minors, some of us making 4 bucks an hour, they were that petty). Fuck this system
