cash registers with turns

Today I had to buy one thing but every cash register was full. I had to buy it in cash so I couldn't do self check-out. It would've taken ages if not for the fact that, on the app of the establishment, you can take a turn for one of their cash registers. That's the only one that accepts turns. Usually when the cashier asks the customers for their turn, people don't know how to take a turn on the app, hell, they don't even know there's an app in the first place. They typically give up and the cashier can't accept them, so you take their spot while they go somewhere else. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me and more establishments should do this. It would even have a better spatial distribution for the customers and lines would be quicker 🙂‍↕️.

Not using self checkout*

First, it’s taking someone’s job away and saving some crappy corporation money Second, you’re doing that job for free and your labor has value Third, it’s another way human interaction is being removed from society in th name of efficiency (but mostly in the name of cost cutting) If you’re going somewhere like Home Depot or Lowe’s that only has self checkout 🤬, order online for pick up instead. At least that requires paid labor, and you can say hi to a fellow human when you pick it up. *Allowable exceptions include: when buying something really embarrassing, when you have an urgent need to use the bathroom, when stealing

becoming a birthday person

manifesto forthcoming. i hear time and time again - “i’m not a birthday person.” as a convert, i’m here to challenge that limiting belief. not unlike new year‘s eve, getting your hopes up for a single night is futile. thus, i have the following advice: -embrace birthday week    month is a little much, even for me, but allow the week to be birthday-centric. this doesn’t have to be sunday to sunday; it can  consist of any of the surrounding days that feel relevant to THE day -multiple experiences   much like new year’s eve, hanging your hat on one night is doomed. thus, i recommend that you implement ALL (not some) of the following: INTIMATE DINNER +with partner, family, a couple of friends. something that feels low key and non stressful. great for a thursday or sunday night. let them know ahead of time (if they need reminding) that you would like a candle of some sort on a house dessert (is this too bossy?? NO! you’d do the same for the ones you love. next). (i also get desserts with candles the whole month, unabashedly. and do the same for loved ones.) SOLO DAY +plan things for yourself: solo lunch, matinee, massage. buy a fancy latte. take a cab. spare no expense; today you turn off the switch in your head that wonders if it’s worth it because it is. FRIEND DAY +have people over, meet at a bar, or throw a full on party. this is group time. i honestly recommend doing this one last. you’ll likely have enough fun with the other two events that this will feel like a cherry on top. ask your type A friend to help plan, if you need help, and remind them again ab some sort of treat w canes. this doesn’t have to be a blowout! tell everyone to bring whomever, +1s, enemies as it’s more-the-merrier vibes. tl;dr everyone deserves to be celebrated and there are people in your life eager to help you make it happen. ask for what you want. do the same for them down the line ❤️ ps my birthday is 3/17 if you need to start preparing pps bonus tip - pic is of last year’s birthday outfit. i also like to throw a very easy mini theme to get people thinking ahead of time (i said to wear silk, leather, or mesh. everybody looked hot) ppps i have so much more to say ab this, lmk if you want more
