  • When I quit my supermarket job after getting my accounting degree my manager tried to convince me to stay, saying they had plans to promote me into management and eventually I could work my way into a head office position.

    Umm, no thanks, I think I’ll take the job that I’ve been working towards getting for years.











  • My mother had breast cancer. I couldn’t get a test to see if it was the inheritable one because then I would have to disclose it as pre-existing for the rest of my life. (For the record my mom took the genetic test and it was negative).

    This is just one example.

    What if in future, your insurance price depended on an inheritable diseases DNA clearance. You could refuse but then it would be $$$$$. What if my life insurance refused to pay upon my death because I had knowledge of a gene that causes cancer when I took out the policy?

    PS not American.









  • I hate them because I have a toddler and making sure they don’t run off, move things from the scale, grab candy from the very child friendly height displays, all while trying to scan and bag my groceries.

    At staff checkouts we load on conveyor belt together. I can keep control of my child. And then we leave.

    I hate self serve. Staffed checkouts are much more relaxed for me. I did like self serve better before kids though.
