Face, meet leopard. Leopard, meet face.

And one stands in line while the others race around doing the shopping, dumping everything on the conveyor when the lone guy is up to bat.

The guys around here use self checkout in order to 'forget to scan' half their stuff, or at least the most expensive items.

That too.

Being unfamiliar with this experience, I am curious why?

As Jimbob says, it's because they are buying the next week's groceries for a lot of people.

Was reading an NPR article about a few voters that have regrets after voting for Trump, unsurprisingly. Though there are a few that still support him and are going to continue to vote for Republicans, even after admitting that things are worse for them.

Gen Z Americans were a key part of President Trump's winning coalition in 2024. Nearly two years later — and with early voting underway in multiple states for the midterms — some of that youth support has faded.

That sentiment was on display in a focus group, conducted last week, of eight Generation Z Trump voters, who reported varying degrees of unhappiness and disappointment over the state of politics, with some going as far as to say they regret supporting Trump in 2024.

Because those voters know the republic party hates the same people they do.

The youth support appears to have disappeared.
It's mainly GenX and some of the the boomers that still haven't given up on Trump and MAGA.

*Asian estimates are English speakers only.

So currently, white rural 50-64-year-olds with a high-school diploma or less appear to be the GOP key demographic.

That's why we had that recent Tweet about Musk's flying car that referenced GTA 6. Nobody in the administration knows what that is. Someone said "We're losing the young vote. Go online and see what these kids are eagerly waiting for."

Ah yes, the political "how do you do, fellow kids" maneuver!

Yeah but Trump couldn't even hold 1 skateboard and Buscemi was holding two in that scene!

Black lady scandalized after being thrown out of a MAGA meeting. Scandalized, I tell you! Can't see what she did wrong! She drove for hours!

“I was just asked to leave this event, and I did nothing wrong,” she continued. “I was told that Paxton’s campaign manager didn’t want me here. I’m not making any of this up.… I have done nothing but support everyone on the Republican side, and this is how I get treated? I cannot believe the disrespect that I was just given. I left the Democratic Party two years ago, I have volunteered for President Trump’s campaign, and I have worked very hard promoting members of the Republican Party. I’m not quite sure what’s going on, but to be walked out of a room full of people and isolated as if I’d done something wrong—I cannot believe it.”
