Can we PLEASE start a movement to get people chairs?

Cashiers, hotel staff, hospital check in staff, whatever you do, you likely deserve a chair. Why are people forced to stand when they don’t need to? I’m mostly going to refer to cashiers because I feel like them needing to stand is the most unnecessary. I don’t think ANYONE cares about their cashiers standing vs sitting. I actively dislike seeing people forced to stand. You can even see some near the end of their shift leaning or sitting on something weird. Can we get something trending? Like #GiveUsChairs? I don’t care what it is, I’m just tired of my sensitive ass feet being in pain for no good reason.

I just started this grocery store job. They hire tons of people and run each person maybe 10 hours per week. It gets over 40 YEARS to get to the top of the pay scale. Also, 10 CENT raises for the first 7000 hours. That’s nearly 30 YEARS of work. People need to LIVE ON THIS. I. Can’t. Do it.

Discrete earbud recommendation?

Hey everyone! I’m supposed to set up and work a wedding tomorrow. I am on the spectrum and I lose focus very quickly, so I have an audiobook or podcast usually going in my ear to keep the distractible part of my brain from convincing the rest to look at shiny objects. I have found that management objects because people can see my earbud hanging out of my ear. Does anyone have a recommendation for a low-profile, inconspicuous earbud that I could use instead? Much love you guys. One day, we’ll have UBI and motivation to pursue our true callings. You are all my brothers, sisters, and non-binary siblings. obligatory puppy tax.

Retiring

My mother-in-law is retiring from her job of 40+ years. She is super stressed because her workplace has been understaffed for years and is just hiring as she is leaving. A week before she retires her boss tells her not to clean out her desk on company time but to do it after working hours. She had already spent personal time tidying up her stuff since she has been out of office and mainly WFH for a year. But even fired people get to pack up their belongings WTF.

Don’t Know Where Else to Put This. A Dilemma With My Friend

He said he was joining the army, and since we live in the united states, I instantly panicked about him becoming corrupted. When I said I hoped he didn't die, he said he wasn't going into a combat MOS. I think they may be lying to him since that's the sort of thing they would do, or even if they aren't, I feel unsure if I should continue knowing him as a friend. I don't really have a way with words, so I came here wondering if I should try luring him away from the military by asking him more questions. I'm aware challenging someone head-on makes them less likely to change their mind. If I am right, though, about not overtly challenging his decision, I wonder if asking questions, even then, would be the right idea on taking a subtle approach. And then, if I do have the right…
