I'm guessing it's probably something along the lines of Aimee/Amy.

Venezuela?

There are two types.

Greeters are typically someone staged at the door. They typically tend to be elderly, and often during Christmas season and sometimes longer. It serves two functions, being welcoming to customers and being a presence to thwart petty shoplifting. It obviously doesn’t stop someone committed but enough to make some think twice or choose a different exit.

The second type is just your average floor employee. This has become less common over the years with modern systems cutting back hours and shifts during the day. Back in the 90’s in my previous experience, we were expected to great EVERY CUSTOMER with a smile and a few words. Even offer to guide them to what they’re looking for. There were secret shoppers testing or observing and you’re get reprimanded for not doing it. Most customers appreciated the gesture but every once in a while you would experience a power tripping Karen/Ken being awful.

How? It's automatically deducted from my pay.

Now we need a device that detects Meta Glasses and makes us invisible to them. I know this is a losing battle and it's just inevitable over time but I don't like having information provided to someone about me without my consent. With enough adoption, at some point we would all just need to have our own glasses to even the field.

I was watching a random short with a guy what I'm assuming is one of these. I didn't hear much of what he said, because I was distracted by the lenses the whole time. It was impossible to ignore as the light catches the lenses as he moves his head around.

I tried some last week for the first time, and it is borderline a food crime. I was making some home made mcmuffins and tried them side by side with real eggs. It might be okay if it's consumed with other ingredients like a breakfast burrito, maybe, but on its own or where it can stand out, just no.

I'm happy that it's there for those willing to try or on a restricted diet/vegan lifestyle, but it would not sell as a direct egg replacement for regular folk in my opinion.

Not diagnosed, diagnosed, or self reported as mentally ill? Seems low.

Wouldn't that be an interesting list of names, if it unfortunately ever leaked?

They may be gun nuts but they aren't the only ones with interest in firearms. Plenty of non-right leaning folk are well trained in my experience.

Last week: freedom of speech gone. This week: freedom of the press gone.

As neat as it sounds, the logistics would be a nightmare. Remember, Republicans don't follow the rules, so encouraging Democrats to leave the south is easier than having Republicans leave the west coast for example. They want things to affect us, not them.
