It's not illegal to be ineffective

The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to "a level of respective incompetence": employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.

Good comeback

Blonde and ginger women get asked plenty.
I can easily see a shaved head elicit the same dubious approach.
Any woman I've ever talked with has their fair share of weird, inappropriate crap thrown their way, this just par for the course.

Learning on the job

I love self checkout. It allows me to avoid most of social interactions and physical proximity with strangers, making the experience just that much less uncomfortable.

You're right that it's being used against the employees, everything that possibly can will in this system, that doesn't make it inherently bad.

It should be an option, together with a well paid, well treated (let them sit ffs) workforce.

I'm not sure it would only apply to women. Never had much of a parental drive myself but I met several men, both friends and partners, who wanted children very much.

Maybe it's different somehow, I wouldn't know, but something's definitely there.

Living my dream

I agree that what she does is manipulative and condescending even with the best intentions (paving the road to hell and all that), but I have issues with the use of "emotional intelligence" here.

An emotional intelligent person does NOT do this kind of shit on purpose.
They meet the other person where they're at and on the same level, they communicate honestly, they don't presume to educate or manage them.

I'd say she comes off more as emotionally stunted, she has no idea know how to relate with her partner as an equal.
