When I worked at a grocery store at age 16, I worked with an older man probably in his 60s. He said he'd been stocking shelves his whole life. We were unloading bananas and he told me how back in the day, they would sometimes find whole goddamn tarantulas in the banana boxes, or between bananas in bunches. Makes me seriously look at these boxes differently.

Raised catholic and attended a catholic school in the us and we were taught evolution, proper science, and most history and even other religions

These are evangelical Christians. They do not worship the same Jesus as you were raised to worship. They believe in prosperity gospel and they hate catholics.

The catholic church in the us is hateful, abusive, and corrupt to be sure.

I worked at a hardware store where someone ordered 99 full size tub surrounds instead of 9. It was something like two semi trailers full. No one stopped it. They did a fire sale on them, but ended up destroying about 20 because they had sustained damage from being moved around so much due to lack of storage.

This reminds me of my time as a part time grocery order writer for a regional store chain, where I ordered "30" bags of Water Softener Salt, not realizing they were pallet quantities of 30, so they delivered a full truck of 80lb bags of Salt. I still couldn't believe someone didn't question this order as they were loading the truck.

Fun times.
