They're usually outside the shopping centers by the Walmart on Reno and MacArthur and lately they've also been at the sprouts and Burlington area on 63rd and May. They have a box of random assorted candy and will ask you to donate to their basketball team.

This may be common knowledge, but for anyone who doesn't know...they're stealing that candy from the surrounding businesses, lying about the basketball team, and getting aggressive when asked to leave. I work in one of the stores in that area and when my boss asked them to leave they called her "a fat racist bitch". My other boss even told them that if they needed money he would help them, but to please stop stealing and hanging out around the store because they could get in trouble. He gave them money, they promised to stop, and then were back the next day. Just letting you guys know.

I hold a lot of beliefs that I'm passionate about. I was raised in a Christian offshoot cult and have a lot of religious trauma.That is why I have social anxiety..because I was never allowed to associate with people outside of my religion. I was only allowed to go to church and related activities.

I live in the Bible belt and people often try to get into religious debates with me or shame me for not being Christian. Whenever I try to explain myself I always get angry and flustered and then start crying. Then I feel like a total idiot. I know what I want to convey, but I can't say it or defend myself. I just start bawling and go hide. It makes me just want to stay to myself and not make friends.

A customer wearing leopard print skin tight leggings and a shirt that said "daddy" on it, rather than approaching me, stood in place from another department and screamed "Excuuuuuuse me. I need help! Hello!!!???? Someone help me!!!!", all while facing me from afar. I allowed her to make a fool of herself for awhile before walking over to help her lazy ass.

I said, "How can I help you ma'am?"

Her: "I need ginger!""

Me: "Fresh ginger?"

Her: "No. It's ginger in a yellow bag"

Me: "oh! Yellow bag! You mean the ginger chews?"

Her: "No, it's powder"

Me: "hmm ....well what brand is it?

Her: "Can you please get someone else to help me that knows more?"

I go get the department manager for the department she's currently in. I watch him go through the same shit of trying to help this woman find the product that she doesn't know the brand of, what it's used for, where she previously got it from, or what it's called.

He eventually finds it and it's literally just a box of ginger tea and she then says, "this is the tea I want, but I don't want it packaged in a box, I want it in a bag."

This whole ordeal pissed me off. I just needed to tell someone.
