I write. I read. I lead. I tend to develop others far more than I do myself...I should probably work on that.

What made me giggle during this interview was how he said, "When I finally got the opportunity..."
That, my friends, is what we call a Freudian slip. He's always wanted to date white women, but feels he needs to justify it by throwing Black women under the bus.

That would’ve been my last day as a Miranda Lambert fan. They’re there to celebrate you and have a memento of their time there.
And if they were close enough for you to see they’re taking a selfie, I’m sure they spent quite a bit of their hard earned money. I would’ve left.
Miranda Lambert stops show to call out two fans taking a selfie:
“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, it’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country…

It’s not even just about the kids deserving to be in a loving home (they absolutely do). That woman also has every right to not want to raise any additional children, and shouldn’t be ridiculed because of how she feels.
At least she’s honest. Kids deserve the best but at the bare minimum — they deserve a parent that actually wants and loves them.

And it’s not just the alcohol purchases. You accidentally press a button, or scan too quickly, you set off the alert. And then there’s only one person manning 10 kiosks, several that are going off, so that takes time.
It’s become inefficient.
Customers frequently misidentified which fruits and vegetables they were buying when prompted by self-checkout machines.
Alcohol purchases also were not smooth transactions through self-checkout because employees had to verify customers’ ages.
