Not reasonable, perhaps, but theoretically understandable. The escalating price of just about everything implies an increase in value that, in most cases, is not delivered. So some folks simply create their own perks — giving vent to rage or breaking traditional rules of social conduct (i.e., doing whatever the hell they want.)

If you feel you are paying VIP prices, you may well expect to be treated like a VIP.

I’m still pretty sure that’s from the mass layoffs. The mask off death cult shit didn’t kick in until after April or so. Media was still pushing a “flatten the curve” narrative until then.

Could it be that healthcare and early intervention medicine radically improved under Biden or…?

does this mean more people are disabled or more disabled people are being forced into work?

I’m afraid i don’t know. I’m still trying to figure out how the data is collected. I imagine it’s a combo of both, but distributed unevenly. I’d love to sit down with some of the data available and build a dashboard annotated with the dates precautions were rolled back in what area and whatnot. Just don’t have the time and money nowadays.

Before the pandemic, I once saw a grown-ass woman grab shit from a toilet and smear it all over the interior and exterior of the bathroom of the CVS I worked at

And this was in a mostly upper crust fancy New England white people town too

I hear that and I just have to name some sort of mental illness as cause, though. There has to be a major interrupt in your processes to perform an action like that.

Yeah, I wasn’t getting paid enough to deal with it, so I just locked the bathroom, tied off the door leading to it with a garbage bag (that door didn’t have a lock on it) and left a sign saying “Biohazard: Do Not Enter”

Since I was acting manager at the time, I just called a cleaning company and paid them with the store account

Wasn’t gonna foist that off on the two teenagers working the floor that day

Three months ago, I was sitting in a toilet stall in Target. Through the giant gaping hole under the stall, I saw a man crack open a fresh bottle of iced tea, pour it on the floor, and then do it again since he deemed that he didn’t pour it enough the first time around.
