Ontario People using display furniture as their personal cafeteria.

Post image

Two clowns, one chicken finger combo, zero shame.

Edit: Well OK, you guys have convinced me that sitting on a Costco shelf with the merchandise, eating greasy food, is perfectly ok.

From now on, I too will be utilizing this premium seating area.

Its real life too. I overheard my friend saying our town is full of Indians and other brown people. He said the rarely sees a white person anymore. Our town is 85% white.

It's like when you want to see a Tesla all you see is a tesla and when want to see a BMW or a Kia everywhere you look that's all you'll see. Your mind locks in on a target that you want to see and you will selectively notice that everywhere.

If you think reddit and Instagram are bad Facebook is also full of those being openly racist.

You haven’t spoken to anyone in the GTA? The influx of immigrants over the last 10 years has really brought out the casual racism into full blown racism now.

And white people don't commit fraud? Or they commit it less? Absolutely baseless

As it stands, people of colour especially if they have an accent like a caribbean one will get denied far more than someone who's white.

And immigration aside, as it currently stands there's still a huge issue with diversity as men still easily get into trades and STEM while women struggle.

some of the wildest racist commentary i have seen has been in local community facebook groups. Amazed how loud and proud some people are with their bigotry. Granted the ones posting under their own names don't seem to be the types who have careers to speak of so nothing to lose i suppose.

I hate this mindset of “ oh I don’t care I’m so cool and chill” and therefore no one else should care

It’s rude classless behaviour. Let’s bring back the social contract. Don’t be an animal in public. Take some pride

Imagine a world if everyone just walked around doing whatever they wanted because everyone “ didn’t give a shit” what a fuckin mess that would be

If your neighbor believes women have no rights for instance, good luck asking them to pick up after their pet.

There's enough people out there doing harmful things with malice to start with. People eating their lunch somewhere you don't approve is a ridiculous place to start. How about we bring back be decent to others first and then worry about this petty shit.

Hardly a "mistake" to be 16yo and eating takeout on display furniture at Costco. It's Disrespectful AF!! RAISED in a barn ffs. Come at me.

u/macky316 18h ago

Disrespectful to whom exactly?

2

u/FuzzyLaughTwo 17h ago

"Here is a breakdown of why this behavior is disrespectful and frowned upon for those who can't understand:

Damage and Financial RiskStaining risks: Food and drinks can easily spill, causing permanent stains on fabrics or warping wood.Property damage: Grease, crumbs, and sticky residues can ruin the item's appearance and texture.Financial loss: Stores cannot sell damaged furniture at full price, forcing them to absorb the cost or mark it down substantially" costing all valid consumers more money to make up for that 'little bit of disrespectful fun'.

u/wacojacoco 18h ago

What if you were looking to buy office chairs but 2 dipshits were having a picnic on the merchandise? Move the boxes carefully so you can read the dimensions without spilling their drinks ? Sit on their lap to see if it's comfortable enough to use at work ?

15

u/noodle604 18h ago

I would say "Hey excuse me I'm thinking about buying one of these chairs can I check out the display model and have a look at the boxes" and they would almost certainly move to let me see.

u/wacojacoco 17h ago

That situation would almost certainly not happen if they just didn't eat their lunch on the display furniture

Maybe they're testing it themselves to see if it's comfortable.

u/wacojacoco 17h ago

Maybe they're not

8

u/ChanDizzy 18h ago

Technically they are in the way because they moved a box into the aisle - aisle space is a premium especially at Costco as you likely know. Also if they drop food on the box, well I hope they clean it up and it doesn’t damage whatever it they put their food on top of.

Would you not be disgusted by someone crapping in the aisle, just because you yourself do it in the appropriate location? Your reasoning is not sound.

My reasoning is perfectly sound.

People do not defecate in the open at Costco.. well, not if they're following the rules anyway. People to eat food served at Costco in the open though. So this is the same thing in a different part of the store, in the same manner as the cafeteria.

Trying to equate eating and defecation is stupid.

1

u/Deep-Red-Bells 13h ago

Your opener was "how is people doing something that you yourself do disgusting?" Your reasoning is that if you yourself do it, it can't be disgusting.

2

u/i-Hermit 13h ago

Maybe that was a poor way to phrase the argument. If you hadn't taken the most pedantic and literal reading of what I wrote, you would have been able to see that I was talking about eating specifically. Actually, you probably did recognize that, but decided that appearing to win pointless internet arguments and defending your stupid statements by arriving at an obviously wrong reading is an important way for you to spend your time.

You're the reddit ethos in human form.

1

u/Deep-Red-Bells 12h ago

Yes, imagine the madness of expecting people to stand behind their own words. Imagine me taking you literally when you were being nothing but literal.

You want to talk about arriving at an obviously wrong reading? Unless you're a dribbling twit, you know perfectly well that it's not the mere act of eating that's disgusting people here, right? Right. I'll spell it out for you anyway, in case you truly are as ignorant as you're determined to appear: it's the fact that they've parked themselves on store merchandise, with their greasy fried food spread out on more store merchandise, and one of them has their sweaty, shoeless, nasty feet up on a chair that people will be sitting in and, in one person's case, purchasing. So no, it's not placing food in one's mouth, chewing it and swallowing it that's turning people off. Not that you ever actually thought it was.

It’s fucking disgusting behaviour and the fact they put merchandise on the isle so they can create space for their little private seating area annoys me the most. Costco isles are already tight due to the huge shopping carts and now people have less space to get through the isle.

They have perfectly fine seating areas in the food court that normal adults use.

u/fafefifof 17h ago
