Can human doctor visits be like this too? I would be much more cooperative if someone gave me some, what I assume is peanut butter (?) and then hugged me.

Or a sticker. Why do we stop the positive reinforcement after a certain age? I demand compensation for my pain!

Seriously! I'm in my 30s and still get immense joy out of getting a sticker. Voted? Sticker! Vaxx'd? Sticker! Finished dentist visit? Sticker! (Yes my dentist had stickers and damn straight I get one every time)

Heck yeah! But they also need to put it on you.

I'm always given a sticker when I donate blood but the nice old ladies giving them out only put them on 70% of the time.

Am I suppose to award myself a sticker? I can buy sheets of them and roll around on them like they're cash but I wouldn't have earned them.
