Misgendered Due To Voice

So I am not trans, but just a straight male in early 20s that’s autistic. My voice is high pitch cus during puberty I fought my voice cracks to prevent my voice from deepening. When I talk on the phone with my “phone voice” I get mistaken as a woman and get called “she” and “mam“ a lot. I work in retail in customer service and customers and some other employees will often mistaken me as a woman if I speak to them from behind when I speak with my “customer service voice”. However, the employees in my team often see me and recognize my voice so they don’t misgendered me as much as other teams. I really hate it when this happen but I don’t correct people when they misgender me. My twin brother whose not autistic and didn’t fight his voice cracks have a deeper voice than mine but it’s still on the higher pitch end, but he haven’t told me that he gets misgendered. There is someone at my store who is a young trans man and he sometimes get mistaken as a woman by employees in other teams and customers. His voice also sounds like a woman's voice despite identifying as a man. When we answer the phone at work we have to state our names so misgendering doesn't happen as much to me and the trans man over the phone when customers call the store. I don’t know if there’s anything I can do at this point to get my voice deeper and sound more like a man.

Missed Bag An Item Ecomm

Today I had a 40 something item order and I asked another team member to help me re bag and consolidate my bags and she took out the bag of ginger and forgot to put it back into the bag. I failed to notice it so I went to do my next order of 3 items with it still on the cart basket. I then went on break and came back to retrieve the cart and only did I notice the bag of ginger. The order which was a delivery have already been picked up by an Amazon Flex driver. I was concerned I will get in trouble, but other team members reassured me that I won’t and others have scanned and not bagged an item before and didn’t get in trouble. Will I get in trouble?

I Want To Leave E-Comm At My Store

I just started last month and my store got the new larger carts. However, my store was built before 2020 in the mid 2000s, so it doesn’t have an actual big E-Comm room that can accommodate the wide carts. The new wide carts causes traffic jams within the small converted E-Comm room which the old plastic supply carts didn’t cause and they also get stuck within the small awkwardly shaped room. Unfortunately, I’m less than six months in but I’m already considering switching to other departments or transferring to a nearby store that opened after 2020 to stay in E-Comm. If I stay at my store I want to switch to either specialty, whole body, or front end cashier. I really don’t want to leave my store everyone is very nice and kind to me. I’ve never been to that other brand new store nearby, but I’ve heard they got all the new stuff and a real E-Comm room.

Crazy Homeless Man Kicked Out Of Security Gate Safeway San Antonio Road

Saw a crazy homeless man inside the gates alarm Safeway on San Antonio road harassing all the customers inside and got kicked out by the associates. This same crazy homeless man loiters at the Village at San Antonio Center phase 2 sometimes and harasses people working or walking thru there and security kicks him out often. This man is known to harass people and loiter in private property. Go to Shoreline, Miramonte, Los Altos First Street, or Rengstroff Mini Mart instead. No mentally ill homeless people and no alarm security gates.

New E Commerce Carts

My store just got the new E Commerce carts. My store originally used customer shopping carts and then eventually switched to supply carts with old Whole Foods baskets hanging on the handle. Now we use these super wide carts made specifically for e commerce. They are so wide that it is difficult to navigate tight turns, crowds, and controlling the cart is more difficult. Any of your stores switched yet? NorCal has pretty much all switched now.

Workday Turned From Whole Foods To Amazon

The entire thing turned into Amazon from Whole Foods overnight. Can’t logged in anymore. I tried using my usual tmid@wholefoods.com and my password and I can’t log in. Very disappointed at Amazon ruining Whole Foods.

My dad says that those who work harder for God such as Pastors have a bigger house in heaven

My dad says that those who work harder for God such as Pastors have a bigger house in heaven. Does it say that anywhere in the Bible? Do you believe in what my dad believes in too? I don’t believe in it cus Heaven is suppose to be perfect and happy which should mean everyone’s home in heaven should be the same with none better or worse than others making it completely fair and perfect.

JAL 123 Reenacment Is Super Inaccurate And Wrong

There were children on the flight and none of them carried a model of a Boeing 747 SR and then proceeded to drop it on the floor right as the plane made its final nosedive. There isn't evidence of it occurring as they never found a model Boeing 747 SR in the real crash site. In fact, the model plane was never seen again in the TV show when the entire forest was on fire with people and kids moaning from the crash whom eventually died later. While the children moaning from the crash and eventually dying in the night was real, one of the children carrying a model Boeing 747 SR and then purposely dropping it to the ground while the plane is crashing was not real. When the explosive decompression happened the ceiling fell down none of the overhead bins bursted open as seen in a real photo from a camera recovered from the crash carried by a passenger who died. In the photo, all the overhead bins were closed as a flight attendant was walking thru the aisle helping passengers to put on oxygen masks and the lights were not flickering. In the TV show right when the decompression happened lights start to flicker and a couple of overhead bins bursted open in front of a flight attendant with a black suitcase, black suit jacket, grey hand bag, and grey pillow falling out of the overhead bins and onto the floor. The flight attendant in the TV show helped passengers put on oxygen masks like in real life but did not close the overhead bins that bursted open and did not pick up the suit jacket and pillow. Also, the plane seen in the reenacment was a Airbus A300/A310 complete with a widebody old Airbus interior and 2-4-2 configuration.

Kid Purposely Drops Japan Airlines Boeing 747 Plane Model On The Floor Of The Airbus A300/A310 Mock Up Right Before It “Crashed”

There’s so many things wrong with this reenactment. I doubt there was a kid on the real JAL 123 who died in the crash who was holding a model Boeing 747 SR and then purposely drops it to the cabin floor right before it crashed. The cabin in the mock-up is an Airbus A300-A310 with the wrong seat configuration. And also from the picture recovered from the real crash, none of the overhead bins bursted open spilling a black suit jacket, grey hand back, grey pillow, and black suitcase on the floor as the cabin depressurized at the same time. Picture was taken after depressurization and all the overhead bins were closed in the picture. In the reenactment the overhead bins remained open right after depressurization and the flight attendant never bothered to close it after it bursted open so it stayed open tilled it “crashed”.

I Want To Refuse Surgery

I just had my ultrasound recently and the radiologist found gallstones. My health provider automatically referred me to general surgery. Now my parents made me go see the surgeon for a new patient intake. I won’t see the gastroenterologist until after I see the general surgeon. I refuse the surgery cus of the insane pain and my mom having severe diarrhea afterwards. I was traumatized by the penis surgery when I was a toddler and tonsils surgery in elementary school. I cannot sleep normally after the penis surgery and the tonsils surgery resulted in lots of nosebleeds, trouble eating, and health complications that forced me to go to urgent care for a IV of water. I’m forever scared of surgery due to these bad experiences. My dad wants to force me to have surgery and get rid of the entire gallbladder. I want medications instead. I am a adult btw.

Mood Media Music Player Malfunctions

No One by Alicia Keys played three times within a span of 30 minutes today on the mood media. I was doing some training on the computer in the office and then I heard the song played. Then two songs after it played the first time, it played again twice back to back. It played for a total of three times. Have anyone have any crazy media player malfunctions so far?

Update To Credit Card Skimmer At Portsmouth Square Garage

My dad actually inserted his card into the machine at Portsmouth Square garage level 4 by the elevators. The criminal covered the contactless payment reader forcing my dad to use the insert with the skimmer in it. The skimmer used it to load $100 on a Clipper card which is really weird and dad was not skimmed using contactless. My dad thought he was skimmed using contactless and even believed it using contactless. I remember now seeing him inserting his credit card after contactless failed to work. My dad believed that it is easy to be able to skim a card using contactless like insert or swipe, but he was wrong. My dad called the garage and they have been made aware of the incident and I hope others come affected by the credit card skimmer come forward as well. The parking attendant who answered the phone said they have received reports of card skimmers before and regularly check all payment terminals to ensure none have been compromised and remove any skimmers. They didn't find any skimmers around the time we were there when they inspected the payment machines and when they checked the compromised machine, the skimmer has since been removed. I want to post this as a warning to others when using their credit card at the parking garages in San Francisco. This incident occurred on July 4, 2026 at around 10:00PM on level 4 at the Portsmouth Square garage by the elevators. The payment machine that was compromised was a Skidata parking garage payment kiosk that accepts both cash, credit card swipe, and credit card contactless.

Breaks In California Stores

About to start very soon and I remember coming from Target, an eight hour shift had two 15 mins paid breaks and one 45 mins unpaid lunch. The reason for that is due to California strict laws not allowing paid breaks to be shorter than 10 mins and unpaid lunches to be shorter than 30 mins. If a hourly team member in California clocks back in even 1 min early the store will get fined for the unpaid lunches. The paid 15 mins breaks are on a honor system, but my store followed it as expected. Wondering if it’s the same for Whole Foods stores in California? I actually enjoyed the longer breaks.

I’m Concerned

I applied as a flex shopper last Monday and got a job offer last Wednesday for it with a tentative start date for Wednesday July 8. I finish all required background check last Thursday. However I didn’t get a follow up that I was told I was going to get to choose the in store start date nor the workday account access that they told me I would have access to last Thursday. Yesterday passed and I didn’t get a phone call or email about my start date in store or workday account access. I called the store today, but the e commerce Astl isn’t in so the shift leader told me to call back tomorrow. I’m not sure if this happens often, but it’s kinda weird I didn’t get a follow up after the tentative start date. Have this happen to any of you when you got a job offer at Whole Foods?

Japan Airlines Flight 123 And Korean Air Flight 801 Reenacments

How come in both re-enactments the overhead bins burst open spilling contents in the mock-up cabin? In Japan Airlines flight 123, while the ceiling at the rear left side of the mock up is falling down the side overhead bin at the very back of the mock-up on the left aisle bursts open at the same time spilling out a grey pillow, a suit jacket, a handbag, and a suitcase onto the aisle and the passenger actors sitting at the rear left side as the mock up filled with white mist. In Korean Air 901 during the crash, as sparks fly through the cabin mock-up, all the overhead bins in the cabin bursted open spilling suitcases, bags, and duty free onto the passenger actors and the aisle. I wonder why did they make the overhead bins burst open spilling contents on Japan Airlines flight 123 and Korean Air flight 801 reenacments?
