I recently had a cashier call another one over for a purchase issue of mine and referred to me as a “guest”. It felt weird. I was not a guest. I was trying to exchange money for goods and services and leave.

I don’t know what corporate big brain came up with the guest terminology, but it feels weird from every angle.

There is always going to be a divide between people who have done restaurant closings and those that haven’t. Some people who haven’t done it will not see any issue with showing up 10 minutes to closing and ordering everything on the menu. You can’t change their minds.

The last time I was traveling and absolutely had no choice but to go into a Chiplote 20 minutes to closing (it was the only place for miles still open), I made sure to be flexible about only asking for things that hadn’t been put away already. I ended up getting what seemed like quad portions and free chips. Be nice to servers and they are nice to you.

Gallon freezer ziplock bags. Thick, durable, reusable for a long time.

This is very confusing to me. Do ziplocks not exist where you live?

Question: Can’t AI companies just as easily Hoover up language content from the fediverse? Or is it something that we just kind of accept but don’t care about since it isn’t eating into fediverse finances?
