LPT: Check the inside of the door before hopping in an Uber and make sure child locks are turned off.
Got dropped off and couldn’t open my door and it was because the driver had child locks intentionally turned on so he could open the door for you. I ripped him a new one how unsettling that was.

Today I learned taking photos instead of actually viewing the scene causes your brain to outsource the memory; this causes you to not retain the information as detailed as you normally would. This is called the photo-taking impairment effect.

YSK Walmart employees frequently come to work sick because they can be fired for as little as 3 sick days - including stockers that touch all the products you bring home. It's very likely that Walmarts are one of the greatest Catalysts of Flu season and general disease spread.
Why YSK I started working for Walmart recently and was shocked to find out that employees frequently come in sick because they are afraid of being fired.
As an employee when you call in sick you earn one "occurrence" or "point".
At 5 'points' you are eligible for termination.
And during "Key Event Dates" (around holidays) you earn double points for calling in sick. Meaning you could be fired for getting sick for just three days or less.
This policy inadvertently incentivizes employees to come to work while they are sick to keep their job (and their income).
I'm honestly blown away that this policy is legal with the amount of customers they have and the amount of disease they are definitely spreading.
I would recommend not supporting Walmart in any kind of way, but if you have to shop there at least sanitize the products you buy to keep yourself and others safe. And if you work there, just take the points, please don't come to work sick, it's extremely selfish to potentially get 1000's of people sick for a paycheck.
Because I find it unethical to come to work sick, I will definitely be racking up 'points' from all the sick days I've had to take so far (from catching other employees sicknesses) and can hopefully find a more ethical company to work for very soon.

For everyone who's about to suffer through another family gathering with people they have been told to love unconditionally no matter how shitty, abusive, racist, sexist, or fucked up they are.
