I don't do it anymore. In the past, it was nothing for me to go check someone's oil and add a quart or two for them if needed. If I sold a bulb and it was one that I could easily do, I'd install it. I'd especially do it for the elderly, and I still will. But as time has gone on, I've begun to notice that people are incredibly lazy and willfully ignorant. We live in an age where everything we have questions on is just a quick Google search away. There's a video for everything. And I'd actually be keen on guiding customers through any of these things if it wasn't for the fact that the moment I go outside and make an attempt to teach them something, I'll be hit with "Well, can you just do it for me?" They don't want to actually learn anything. Basic maintenance is a non-issue to them because they can just keep going to AutoZone and have someone who's making minimum wage do it for them. Mind you, these are not services that are in our job description. We don't get paid to do these things like the techs at the Jiffy Lube down the street would, but we do it for free.

I'd rather have 500 scans on Matrix to do with several pages of recalls needing to be done after or put an entire truck up by myself. I'm not good at them, but to be fair, I've never been trained properly on how to do one that's more involved than simply moving shit around. Even then, I'd rather be doing almost anything else.

In an older episode, there was a shooting contest that leads you to believe that it's a common practice to have one on board. Is it for bycatches such as sharks and other potentially dangerous catches? Considering pots are used instead of nets, you wouldn't think that would be enough of a common occurrence to warrant carrying one.

As a male, I'm definitely in the grow-er and not the show-er camp. I dare say more so than most. Granted, I know that my piercer most definitely wouldn't give a care in the world about the size of my flaccid penis. I'm fully aware that it's a me issue above all, but it's kind of holding me up from getting a much-wanted frenum piercing as I feel like it'd compliment me. It's also fair to mention that this would be new territory for me, as I've only ever had my ears pierced when I was a teenager. I guess what I'm getting at is that I don't know how to get over the fear of letting a stranger see, hold, and proceed to pierce me in an area that I'm sensitive about. I also greatly fear getting an erection, but I've heard that's a somewhat common occurrence due to anxiety, adrenaline, nerve stimulation, touch, etc. Any advice, tips, or relatable stories to give me the confidence to say fuck it and go get the piercing I want?

They're Taurus fanatics who dog on everything that's not a Taurus. They're convinced that if you buy revolver like a Smith & Wesson, you're simply paying for the name. As far as quality, fit, and finish goes, I'd like to think a Taurus doesn't compare in the slightest. It's essentially comparing a somewhat decent entry-level revolver to a more premium offering.

PSM here. I try to keep my distance from him as much as possible and the conversations between us at a minimum for the reasons below. As a grey shirt, I can pretty much do my own thing without us crossing paths. I know my duties, and I don't need to be told what to do unless he has something to delegate. It's only when we have to communicate that it becomes frustrating as he takes everything to heart. He misinterprets what I say to him and has a frustrating tendency to make everything about himself. For example, there's a red shirt that he's trying to get a final write-up for. The other day, I felt obligated to tell him how much the employee in question has been improving, and with a little more training, I think he'd be a decent red shirt. He blew his top by saying that he doesn't have time to train him, that it's on the PSMs to do so, and that he's being worked thin which was another example of him taking what I had to say out of context and making it about himself. I'd like to say this is just an isolated example with me, but he's spoken to the DM and upper management in similar fashion. The RM experienced this just a few days ago. Not to mention, if I bring up an issue I'm having with him or things such as scheduling, I completely get talked over without my concerns being heard. If he's not making it about himself, he's completely missing/downplaying the issue I'm bringing to his attention.
