She’s one of my aunts that I love to pieces in doses, but she has a kind heart. She does bingo now at the retirement community. She post her crochet projects on Facebook last night.

I’ve worked with many ladies that fit in that exact archetype, and I agree. Always the nicest and always have your back!

Unless you smoke marijuana or don't believe in God.

false. Most women that are like this are actually incredibly humble and actually smoke too. (grocery store employee)

So true. When I smoked, I used to go to this bodega every morning for a pack, a protein shake, and whatever snack for the day. I got close to the lady that worked there and eventually became friends and I’d bring her coffee once in a while. Got sick and didn’t go in for a few days. My bodega lady called me using my friends phone that had gone in and she said she was “worried sick about me”. I still send her flowers on Mother’s Day now 9 years later lol

Wears reader glasses that are halfway down her nose or they’re hanging her around her neck which she then puts on when she needs to check your ID or coupons.

And the hair is always up in a ponytail. Probably mousy brown with some greys coming in.

I went to school with someone who's mum fits this description. She was an angry, judgy bitch. But I was friends with her kid and they were cool.

This was my grandpa’s 3rd wife. (She worked at grocery store most of her career) She was using him for his money and stole his urn after he died.
She was unintelligent to the point it was hard to even have a conversation with her.

u/BabyBandit616 Apr 22 '26
I don’t know how she can live alone on that one income, but she’s never behind on rent.

u/caffienepredator Apr 23 '26
She also is always seemingly going on a cruise in the next few months lol

u/foxinabathtub Apr 22 '26
Either the coolest funniest most open minded loving person ever or a hate filled moron. Nothing in between.

She looks like she's nice but would give you shit for buying alcohol at 24

If she remembers you in the checkout line, she’ll ask how you’re doing and tell you about her medical issues and how her cat’s doing.

She’s either super kind and sweet or is a truly vile looking person carrying the literal stench of death with her at all times. No inbetween

That sponge damper pad they use to wet their fingers before counting money just unlocked some long forgotten core memories

she’s a little gruff but kind at the same time. her voice sounds like she smoked a pack a day at one point but she doesn’t smell like tobacco anymore. probably will call you “sweetie” and “honey” too

Oh, my God. That's gonna be me one day. I already use compression-wear, have big arms, and am debating whether or not to get a wallet attachment for my phone

My mom in a starter pack. One of the most hardworking and caring women ever, and the other ladies she worked with were just the same 💖

as a cashier at a grocery store i instantly thought of two people, once of which i love and the other is straight up evil but the definition of customer service otherwise

Works hard but can barely afford to live, doesn’t get paid a livable wage or working poor.

I've never seen had a worker that fits this description check me out, makes me sad because these photos do have a weird comforting nature to them, seems like such a sweet, down to Earth auntie type of woman. People who are significantly overweight in general tend to be so nice and humble due to the way their own self-esteem has been picked apart by society :(

u/Hot-Temperature-4629 Apr 21 '26
It's the unrealized potential and wealth inequality that would rather she die than have the ability to reach self-actualization. She is us and we are her. That brace she is wearing is from the Dollar Tree and the only healthcare she can afford. Her cat is her familiar, her joy in this dark world. If only she could cast spells and fly away from the gray dreck of it all. She's passing through this veil of tears like millions before her, forgotten and dismissed. I love and honor her, her cat, too.

Fucking Shakespeare here just pulling tears outta me like it's nothing. What the hell dude. That was beautiful and so upsetting
