so im a cashier at a grocery store and my manager gave me my employee review today right? i thought it was gonna be terrible tbh cause i have to call out sick somewhat often bc of mysterious autoimmune illnesses, but i actually got a really good review. apparently aside from bagging a little slowly im a pretty good employee.
heres my confession tho: im really not? like i could care less about the brand or how much the company makes or stopping shoplifters or any of that. i feel kinda bad because my manager is really nice, but also i dont because im pretty sure a massive grocery chain can handle an old lady stealing a banana once in a while. its conflicting because part of me wants to be good employee and a contributing member of society or whatever and the other part of me hates everything about the idea of gatekeeping who gets food. i know that im not really the one who gets to decide that as a cashier, but it still sucks to see people have to put back eggs so they can afford milk and bread when i know theres enough food for everyone, and thats my job all day long. just another day in the life of anti-capitalism as a struggling 20 something i guess.

I've been there. I worked in various fast food restaurants for years after getting out of the Army in 2016. It took 23 years for me to decide to get my ass in gear and I landed a pretty sweet gig last year. Best of luck out there. It's rough.
