Like I think a lot of them. Put a post on last night and ran into a few of them.

For the longest time now I've worked in the oilfield and have had hardly any home time. But now I drive a local truck and am home every night. But my guilt of going to work still digs at me. I want to be at home with my wife and kids. Sure I make it so they 3 can be together all day everyday but I feel guilty not being with them as much as I want. It doesn't feel normal to feel like this since I'm not doing anything wrong, but I hate work so much I wish life was about being loved and loving other as much as you wanted. I hate work. Fucking hate it and money.

So today I tried to check out at the register at CVS. Store associate told me I had to use the self service checkout. I had cold medicine and various other items and this wanted two transactions (one for HSA debit and the other). So I left and went to a different CVS as it wasn’t really out of my way. At that store the guy checking me out told me it’s now corporate policy to steer customers to self service and he’s been written up for checking people out. So yeah, we’re at the point now that corporations are actively trying to fire people for doing their job because it’s cheaper to offset that cost to the customer. Fuck CVS.

Anybody heard of this? Saw an instagram comment saying that there is a current growing movement where these folks will not make any purchases for the entire first week of July to protest corporations and their role in current inflation. I can’t find anything else about it, but looks like it could be an interesting move.
