They're Going to Replace You With Robots
The woman slammed her Gucci purse down on the counter, nearly knocking down a sunscreen display. Her face was twisted into a scowl. She was rude to me for the entire transaction, but she became vicious when it was time to pay for her items. She took out a gift card and tossed it across the counter at me. When I explained that the card machine was in front of her, she retorted, “If I wanted to swipe my card, I would have bought this stuff online. You’re lucky I decided to give you my business.”

Can you play games for money?
When I decided to go on an online money-making journey, I never expected to find myself playing mobile games for coins. I’ve never been a fan of mobile gaming, and have always thought the ads that claim you’ll earn money from gaming were a scam.

Exploring the Flip App
I heard about the Flip while scrolling through beauty posts on TikTok. Flip marketed itself as an app where you could earn money while watching product reviews. I decided to join because I was already watching product reviews and could always use the extra cash.

Should we Say Good-Bye to the Shopping Cart Theory?
Can you determine if someone is a good or a bad person based on how they return (or refuse to return) their shopping cart? The shopping cart theory was popularized by the internet, but is it the scale we should be using when measuring someone’s character?

Will Greed be the Death Of Gaming?
One of my favorite childhood memories was going to an arcade and playing a game like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. I remember seeking out fighting games during field trips and making new friends at the arcade. I found new favorite games by chance and tried genres I normally wouldn’t have during these trips to the arcade.

I Regret Going to College
I work full-time and still don’t make enough money to cover my bills. I make more than minimum wage and normally avoid buying things for myself. I haven’t bought new clothes for myself in over two years, and I don’t buy name brands. If I had a medical or other emergency I wouldn’t be able to afford it, and it would cost my job if I missed work. I don’t even own a car, so I wouldn’t be able to use DoorDash to earn extra income.

Will my Job be the Next Victim of Technology?
When I was young, arcade cabinets were everywhere. They were at arcades, in the mall, at the laundromat, and even at the grocery store. There were standalone arcades, where my family spent many hours (and quarters).

Are We Dating the Same Guy?
Dating is an endeavor that I’ve never enjoyed. It’s often stressful, and sometimes depressing. More often than not, dating is full of unnecessary drama. Maybe the drama is why I was drawn to join a “Are we dating the same guy?” group on Facebook, despite not being interested in venturing into the dating world myself.

No, I'm Not Flirting With You, I Just Want To Keep My Job
“Can you check me out, because I was checking you out?” a voice called. I glanced up to see a man who looked to be in his 80s or older, holding an overpriced golf shirt. I didn’t say a word, I simply scanned the shirt while the man tried to claim that he’d been joking. I just handed him his receipt and told him to have a nice day. I didn’t tell management, or even another coworker, because he’d already explained his behavior away as a ‘joke’. The manager would likely take his side, or even scold me for making the customer feel uncomfortable.

I'm Getting Fired, and it's Not My Fault
My workplace is gearing up to fire everyone, but we haven’t done anything wrong. So why are we being fired? The simple answer is credit cards.

Stephanie Wrobel's novel, Darling Rose Gold, Borrows Heavily From Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Story
What if Gypsy Rose Blanchard had sent her mother to prison instead of masterminding her murder? That's the question Stephanie Wrobel must have asked herself when writing Darling Rose Gold. Wrobel used Blanchard's story as the blueprint for her novel, making her titular character a victim forced to live her public life confined to a wheelchair when she could walk.

Working In The Retail Beauty Industry Ruined My Relationship With Makeup
I’ve known I was the creative type from the first time I held a crayon. I loved all forms of art, even if I wasn’t good at most of them, so I was destined to love the art of makeup. Playing with the products was almost like therapy for me, and I enjoyed trying new products and trends.
