Same. I'm one of the few people that prefers self checkout. Covid was a magical time for me while grocery shopping. No one awkwardly had to smile after eye contact, everyone gave space and avoided each other, just get in and get out without ever taking out my headphones. Self check out is always faster where I'm from too.

I worked for a brewery that brought in all their water from the same spring or something. Even though it was a chain with multiple us locations.

Excuse me, battle for bikini bottom and the shrek 2 game were FIRE.

I've had great success in saying I'm cancelling/leaving because I'm moving away. I picked a random area I knew wasn't close to any of their chains and said I loved everything but unfortunately needed to move on. I've had 3 different chains immediately end the contract for me over the phone or in person doing this with no hassle.

The time I tried to quit one to swap to another gym, I had to make 3 calls, email multi-paragraph statements of why I was leaving and wait multiple months before they finally stopped charging me.

The entire time I was doing the awkward sad chuckles asking my partner repeatedly if it was for real and no, no ,no while I dragged it around killing it. I judged the parents soooooo hard for it.

And my first thought to that idea was "ah yes, preserve Danny DeVito for years to come."

Are you about to have another intense burst of compatibility with a girl we never see again?

Fair warning with Chicago, it may look cheaper but taxes are much higher than Dallas, along with everything in general. Not trying to sway you, it's a gorgeous city. But, the L has been kinda crappy the past couple years and the winters will be a drastic change taking public transit. There's tons of job opportunities and plenty of ways to go cheaper here, so I recommend it if you think it would work for you, but plan for it to be more expensive than you think.

Everyone at my work uses Snapchat regularly. I was pretty surprised to hear them all mentioning it as I hadn't really heard of it in years. They're between the ages of 22-40s if that changes anything.
