you have $100. due to a squid games type escapade, you are currently trapped in Whole Foods and can't leave or someone will take you out with a bullet to the brain. you have to buy all the food you eat. you can't shoplift it or steal it from the other competitors. a carton of 12 organic eggs costs $10.

your friend Greg has $100. due to a competing squid games franchise, he is trapped in a Costco. he can't leave, or they'll set the dogs on him. he still has to buy all the food he eats. he can buy 36 eggs for $7

which one of you will starve first? are you or Greg functionally "wealthier" within your respective squid game?

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Toy Box

The mattress company I worked for the first time no longer exists. It was long ago eaten and assimilated by a bigger company. But when I started it was an incredibly intense five weeks of training. I was told I was extremely lucky to be selected, and I was. From a pool of a hundred applicants only fifteen of us made the cut to entering the training program.

The course covered how to talk to customers, how to ask open ended questions, how to close a sale, and product knowledge. I learned a lot, and truthfully my greatest takeaway was a lot of social scripts that I could use in other areas of my life.

We also had a midterm exam and a final. Both included a roleplay element with a trainer and a written portion. They told us when we started that the course was challenging but it was still a shock to come in after the midterm and realize half the class had failed.

I was named valedictorian of training- a dubious honor as it meant I’d done the best in the class, but popular lore had it that valedictorians struggled the most on the sales floor. Lo, I struggled.

Not because I wasn’t good. I was. But because my manager set out to systematically destroy my self esteem. Every sale, every interaction I had was scrutinized and criticized.

If I sold a bed with protectors, moveable base, and pillows he’d ask why I hadn’t managed to sell pillow protectors too. His first trainee had thrived on being challenged and he’d never bothered to learn a different way to coach.

It was wretched. My performance started strong but nosedived after a few weeks with him. My trainer, a man I loathed for stonewalling me in my interview, came in to inform me I was on new hire probation. If I couldn’t get my sales numbers up I’d be let go.

His actual phrasing was, “When you have a bandaid do you like to rip it off or pull it slowly?”

Since it was eminently obvious why he was visiting and because I thought it was condescending I sweetly informed him that I liked to soak my bandaids in hot water so they come off on their own.

He was briefly startled at this derailing but then got on with the bad news. I signed some forms stating that I understood my job was in peril.

I went home furious. I thought long and hard about why I wasn’t succeeding and how frustrated I was with my manager. I came in the next day and my anger had crystallized into a cold sharp edge.

My manager opened his mouth to address the probation and I snapped, “Just leave me alone. Go in the back if I have a sale. If you must address a serious issue then you will give me praise on two things I did right and present it as a compliment sandwich. Otherwise just say good job and shut up. Your constant nitpicking just makes me anxious and I do worse. Back off.” Belated and begrudging I added, “Please.”

He raised his eyebrows in dim surprise but I’d gauged him well. He backed off. Dutifully he’d meander into the back when I had a sale and praised me when I closed it. I resented knowing it was only because I’d demanded complimented but they still boosted me up. My numbers skyrocketed, I landed my first split king sale, and I exited probation with flying colors.

The trainer came back in to congratulate my manager for turning things around. To my gratification he gave me credit for setting him straight and said I’d taught him a different way to lead. My manager would often genuinely praise that moment when I’d stood up to him, impressed with my stubborn refusal to fail and my insight into what would help.

My biggest takeaway from the whole thing was just that people need positive reinforcement to succeed. Praise people for doing a good job. If you’re ever in a position where you need to criticize someone put it in a compliment sandwich instead of just saying the negative.

Slut | Austin Sommers

req by 🫀 anon

your boyfriend austin had dragged you to a writers/playwrite’s award show. he had just won an award for his newest script, and you weren’t happy about being dragged out of the manor. you teased him subtly the whole night, grinding on his lap as you sat on it, kissing his neck, grabbing his growing bulge under the table. so when you two got home, austin wasn’t exactly happy with you for giving him a hard on that wasn’t fixable in public. but that emotion was also mixed with a sense of horniness.

“you, darling, are a brat,” austin sang, pushing you down onto his bed. you let out a small whimper, feeling him practically ripping your dress off your body. austin exhaled, staring down at you as he rubbed his jaw, the slight stubble growing on his face starting to become visible.

“what exactly should i do to you? you do deserve a punishment..” he sighed. austin suddenly clapped his hands together, laughing as he rushed off to his closet. he came back about a few seconds later, chuckling to himself. in his hands was a black pair of handcuffs. you roll your eyes. bondage, really? typical austin, if you were being honest.

“no way,” you laugh. austin slapped your left thigh, the cold metal of his rings stinging slightly more than the skin-to-skin contact.

“wrists out, don’t make this harder than it has to be,” austin commanded. you hesitated, making austin more annoyed with you. he groaned, throwing his head back.

“wrists out.” he commanded. when you refused again, he forcibly grabbed your wrists, locking them in the handcuffs. you chuckled softly, taking out what he called his ‘fake teeth’, the caps that hid his fangs.

“i’m telling you now,” he started, bending you over his lap. “you resist, i bite. now for the spanking.”

austin laughed, grabbing you by your hips as he pulled you over his lap so you were sprawled out on your stomach. he sighed, looking down at you. his large hands roughly pulled your panties down to your ankles, immediately grabbing the skin of your ass. he hummed, kneeding the skin before finally delivering the first blow.

“ow-!” you whimper, your body flinch. “what was that for?!”

“you know you’re a brat, right?” austin chuckles, spanking you once more before flipping you onto your back on the bed. you whine as you hit the bed roughly, watching him take his belt off, pushing the slacks of his suit down to his ankles. he watches you writhe slightly on the bed as he fully undressed.

“you know how much of a slut you are?” he sighed, climbing over you. he spreads your legs, positioning himself at your now leaking entrance. you shudder, looking up at austin with pleading eyes, pleading for him to enter you.

austin starts thrusting, burying his face in your neck. you whine, feeling his cock completely filling you. your mind flashed back to how he always teased you about the first time you two fucked. how he wouldn’t fit, how he had to ‘stretch out that little pussy’ as he said in verbatim.

“mmph…austin—“ you whimper, trying not to scream out in pure ecstasy. austin nips at your neck, making you squeal.

“that hurts—“ you mewl. austin clearly didn’t care, one hand going to your clit as he continued his thrusts. he bit harder into your neck, drawing blood.

you push your head back into the bed, closing your eyes and sighing. you didn’t want to tell him how much that hurt, how much you hated when he used you as his little ‘snack’ between kills.

“you want attention, don’t you? love, attention, and barrels of money” austin whispered, sucking the blood out of the lesion he created in the side of your neck. he continued his thrusts, his skin hitting yours, your sweat combining and filling the air with a less-than-pleasant smell of sex.

“you gonna cum?” he laughed, slapping your clit. you whimper, nodding. austin sped up his thrusts, panting.

“come like a good girl…oh, you’re such a slut,” he breathed, huffing through his teeth as he sped up his thrusts. you felt your orgasm come flooding down over you like a tsunami. you buck your hips up, feeling austin collapse into you.

“are you on birth control?” he whispered into your ear.

“no?” you pant.

“whoopsies” was the only thing he responded with.
