In a big-box store the "must engage, must smile" is misery wrought upon employees and customers alike.
In a small shop, like a comics and games store, genuine engagement from the lone human at the counter is kind of nice. It might just be waving hello, it might be "I'm over here if you need help."

Obviously this is ridiculous as a policy for employees but also as a customer my blanket preference from any people working in any store anywhere ever is “leave me the absolute fuck alone”
Smiling?? Eye contact?? TALKING TO ME???? Absolutely not!!!!

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.
But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

I can't help but think of all the times citizens have reported threats, online stalking, etc etc to the police only to be told there's nothing that can be done until something happens.

A Florida woman was charged Tuesday after police said she ended a call with BlueCross BlueShield with the words, “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.”
She was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, and her bond was set at $100,000.
