Let’s make the work safe for the workers. If you want to demonize someone, demonize the clients. And if you think it’s cool to dehumanize and torment someone that does work you think is beneath you—maybe reevaluate what makes you so damn important.

I always felt waiting tables felt as close to prostitution as you could get without risking STIs. It’s not all bad, but some folks feel the need to degrade you so you can eat tonight & some feel like you don’t deserve to eat tonight. I know plenty of waitresses that tolerated getting a butt pat, or told awful things, or crossing the line because if you make them angry, they won’t tip & if they don’t tip, you can’t make rent.
On the other hand, if someone assaults a waitress, they can take legal action. People who do sex work don’t have that protection. Whether they do the work because they enjoy it, or because it’s the best way for them to earn a living wage, or because they don’t feel like they have a choice, they are still people just trying to make a living. And they wouldn’t do it if there weren’t a market.

It’s also important to note that in this instance, they aren’t trying to come up with an innovative chicken sandwich. People want to know what to expect. These sandwiches all represent fulfilling that expectation —not innovating something revolutionary.

Right, but you’ve implied that people do it because they want the attention—and that’s a common sentiment. And, I’m sure some people do want the attention. Some people have other motives unrelated to whether people will stare or not. While it’s true that a person who has a lot of piercings/colors shouldn’t get upset when people stare, it still stands that many of these people aren’t doing it for others.

Just because someone does something that attracts attention doesn’t mean they’ve done it to attract attention.

My kid was in 4th grade when I stopped being about to help. Because of the common core method, I fully didn’t understand what they were doing. So my kid asks me for help and I look at it and I’m like what are you even doing?? I had to write a note to the teacher that explaining that I couldn’t help with the homework but we really tried.

You make a good point. Making fun of others, whether they can change it or not is hurtful. So, the feature they are making fun of is generally not relevant. The person is trying to be hurtful, and maybe they make fun of a man’s height, but if he’s not short—they are probably going to find something else to make fun of.
Maybe it just feels different when you feel like the butt of a joke, but I find it distasteful when people are mean in regard to features of another person whether they can help it or not. I don’t think it’s okay to make short jokes or fat jokes.
And, weight is not always something that can be readily changed. There are a lot of factors involved. Aside from mental health concerns, there are plenty of conditions that make it difficult to loose weight. Yeah. Some people are just lazy and eat too much. But a lot of people have much more nuanced situations.

I currently have two cats with weird petting acceptance. One cat, does not like for you to pet his head. He like under the chin, over his back and specifically like to have his chest/belly pet. It’s so weird.
The other cat specifically wants you to pet her entire face. Like, start at her nose and just cover her whole face. She will divert your hand if you don’t start there. She also allows foot rubbing.

Calculated specifications, purchased appropriate equipment and successfully implemented new equipment. The equipment was deployed on time and within budget. The illumination provided increased productivity by 65% or more and has improved overall safety. No lost time incidents have been associated with the new installation.

^True story. I stopped watching/listening news (any news) a couple decades ago and I couldn’t be happier. It’s all sensationalist propaganda.

If you don’t chronically over-draw many banks and credit unions will refund the fee “this one time” if you call them and ask nicely. If you’ve overdrawn a bunch all at once, and gathered several fees over the course of a short time period, if you call they may be willing to collapse it to one fee (or drop it). These fees are automated, so no one is watching to see if they just charged you $130 for $10 in purchases.
A small local bank or credit union are more likely to do this, or even help you manage funds in other ways.
If you have incurred a fee (for anything) that is insurmountable, call or visit and ask for help.
I’m not sure about banks, but I know a lot of credit unions are in the process of reworking fee structures to eliminate overdraft fees entirely.
