a reality show that follows minimum wage emplyees seem exploitative and dystopian as fuck.

I would likely watch. and feel bad about it

They're mad at each other because they work bargain retail. They are stressed out and irritable.

Does Kohl's even need an overnight stocking shift these days? As far as I know they are basically an Amazon delivery/return counter that always has jeans on 'sale'.

I used to get a daily dose of tea from aita and tifu

It's like reading a drama but for some random person's life somewhere on the planet

Here goes gossip from my job.

  • There was this janitor guy that used to be around and we haven't seen him in a while turns out he was stealing from people's desks.

  • You know our ex boss, who was suddenly degraded? Turns out he committed a crime, and he is going to jail in a few months, if you see him happy lately it's because he is full of drugs to cope with the anxiety.

  • This woman who just came out from her wedding, all the office know she hooked up with the guy from accounting a few months ago.

  • These two guys who used to be friends and don't talk anymore? You know the reason, this pretty new girl both of them fall for her. She had nothing with either of them, but they stopped talking regardless because both think the other one is the reason she don't hook up with them.

Oh, I'm interested in diffident small gossip - I would like to observe chicken politics, and bee politics.

All the disputes, daily fads, coups, 1:1 bonding rituals, etc.

If it's anything like my time on the night shift at a grocery store, there's probably one person that's been there for decades and only has to pack out one aisle of pillows, or some other bulky and light stuff, while everyone else has to cover 3 times as many shelves, with smaller and heavier items. But since that person has been there forever, they're one of the holdouts with a decent contract that makes several times more an hour than anyone else, including the shift supervisor, and actually has decent benefits.

If you're into this kind of thing in a narrative sense, check out Coffee Talk. Highly recommended.

I loved Coffee Talk! I've got the sequel downloaded and ready to go. Va-11 Hall-a is also great and in a similar style.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm an hour or so into the sequel. It's great. Excited for Tokyo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I hadn't heard about Tokyo yet, thanks! Immediately wishlisted it.

Red Strings Club and Midnight Ramen are two more. I loved both.

There's a podcast for that : Normal Gossip

lemme guess... the weed seller started selling to the management and is getting away with doing fuck-all on the floor

Packs a punch vs crunchy but bland?? Are the celebrities the croutons? And is this a common regional saying somewhere? I kind of like it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What what? Which confuses you, the fish paste or the croutons?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I’m confused about how your comment relates to the post

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Did you read the text in the post's image?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Small scale? Like as in which is better in a salad?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Now you're getting it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Move to a small city/village, befriend a local old lady, visit for coffee often, get gossip and cake, give company = everyone wins.

... with the difference being that it's not scripted.

as the morning crew idk who hates each other in the night but I gotta say I have made enemies with our signage supervisor

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

My wife just learned that the motive the seus chef on her restaurant is going out and back from work is because he's dealing with drug problems. The surprising thing is not the drugs, because they practically standard use in kitchen staff, but that is so bad he can't work while high.

Kohl knows what he did
