Reading the comment sections for some of those places online makes it tempting to want to abandon faith in humanity - people be out there saying things like "I didn't bring nothin but damn them bc they wouldn't help me out", and I'm like "bish, you want them to BREAK THE LAW!?" I get it, nobody'a perfect and I've made many mistakes, but why go online after the fact and brag about that!? ๐Ÿ˜œ

I feel bad for the workers that have to put up with all the crap that isn't their fault. Even if the law itself were stupid, it's not like they personally wrote it or anything?! ๐Ÿ˜”

Similar with airline workers - they are so exhausted, and if you ever talk with them every single one has told me how they work not just double but as many triple shifts as they can. I don't fly often but when I do I try to reassure them that I get it - a computer issue or whatever isn't their fault.
