I worked at The Wiz when it when bankrupt and went into liquidation . They told us cashiers we would have to train our replacements who would be paid twice our wage while we saw no bump in pay for the 6 months it took to close the store . Half of us quit and the other half started just giving shit away . There were no replacements and the store was closed within a month . <| sep |> you must not have worked in one for long . after enough time you grow numb to the customer and thier needs . <| sep |> Todays calories ~ 20001500 That is really good considering that it was one of those days where I am just ravenous . They used to end at 5000 calories or more so yey for low calorie bulk foods . Those days will always be a part of me and I no longer try to suppress them , I just alleviate the damage . I mean sure , I haven ' t made significant progress today but I am still below maintenance so I didn ' t make a step back , either . Accepting that is really soothing and I am not mad at myself for having this flaw that I can ' t change as far as I know .
