Google is full of SOE slop. I think I prefer AI slop.

I’ve never seen anyone shoplifting food.

And I never will.

It rarely comes up, but when it does I make a point to address them by their chosen name (like a worker with a name tag that matches their gender expression). I usually avoid pronouns when I can and use they/them when I can’t—better to avoid gendering them at all than misgender.

That’s it. Other than that, I give them a little more grace than my default because someone else probably went out of their way to give them shit that day.
