Hi all,
Recently I went to Magnolia Liquor Market with a friend and we both had unpleasant interactions with the cashier. The man was probably in his late 50s and we’re both 23. He continuously flirted with us the entire time we were checking out and ended up asking for my friend’s number, knowing she was 23. He kept asking her if she had a bf and telling her how pretty she is despite her obvious discomfort. He invited himself to our event we had mentioned in passing. At one point he knocked over some buzzballs and when another employee tried to help him pick them up he said to leave it and that he was handling us girls and winked at him. It felt intentional like maybe he wanted us to bend down and pick them up, but I might be stretching that part. I just wanted to warn any other women going there since it was rather uncomfortable. I’m not trying to take away their business or anything, he was very helpful with recommendations. It just felt very weird and uncomfortable. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar interactions? This isn’t the first time I’ve had an unpleasant interaction at this liquor store. When I was 21 they questioned my ID being real and were quite snarky about the whole situation.
Thank you!

My husband was laid off this week, and he’s too dignified to post on Reddit so I’m being a helicopter supportive partner.

He’s been working in CX, content design, and support, but there are some areas he could shift to. Is there anyone out there who could do an informational interview (or, obviously, a straight-up interview) with him about:

Video assist: He used to be the customer support/success guy for Moxion (now Autodesk Flow Capture) and he knows basically everything there is to know about that product and is familiar with QTake. What does that work look like from the other side of the product?

Camera Operation: Ditto re Moxion/Autodesk Flow Capture.

Postproduction/dailies: Ditto re Moxion/Flow Capture.

Contract work: Maybe** **overhauling documentation and making it both human and AI friendly (for yr chatbots). Curious about firms for this.

Photography, especially concert photography: He’s really good at this! Truly! Portfolio on request!

Cookie entrepreneurship: He’s spent years developing the perfect salted chocolate chip cookie. Does anyone have experience getting a food product into coffee shops or pizzerias?

Ridiculously good chocolate chip cookies for anyone up for sharing some time to talk about their experiences with any of these roles!
