This reminds me of years ago when I went to a GNC and they tried to sell me weight loss supplements.At the time I think I weighed 115. It’s like the woman shilling the product couldn’t focus her eyes past the fact that I had a vagina and, therefore, was probably trying to lose weight.

Ugh! I just have to ask… was she chubby herself?
I can’t even remember it was sooo long ago. My impression was just dumb. They are probably pushed to sell certain types of products to certain demographic groups. Female = weight loss. It’s okay if you don’t notice my very prominent collar bones poking out.
It was shortly after my younger daughter was born (20 years ago).

either bad sales technique, or pure jealousy! Most women aren’t badasses like you and @ChickenLittle

I think bad sales and a lack of comprehension. At the time I was underweight and ill looking. This was pre-powerlifting.

I had a guy at GNC explain to me that, if I bought their in house weight gainer, I’d get a discount on their fat burner.
I asked “Aren’t those two goals opposed to each other? Why would I want both of those products?”
And watched him blow a fuse as he failed the turing test.
I don’t imagine anyone works there due to their superior intellect.

You have a point.
I had one guy offer to train me and advise me on my nutrition goals without actually knowing what I do.
Maybe that’s why all the retail stores are pulling out of Canada.
I worked at GNC when I was in high school. I got fired because I wouldn’t hawk their promoted products which were a waste of money. Besides, they inflate the prices of products like 200%.

My one and only visit to GNC involved me bringing a small container of protein powder (think it was 150g but it was a long time ago) to the counter and the guy refusing to sell it to me.
I hadn’t had protein powder before and was just giving it a whirl. He looked at me in disgust and said I was wasting my time and I had to buy the 2kg tub or nothing. He then went on a rant about how the amount I had was a day’s worth at best.
Needless to say, I didn’t buy it or any powder from anyone for years after that

School: we have 2/8 of the books for you we were supposed to
Looks like they were teaching you some fractions!

It warms my heart that despite there being zero reason to continue this broken system, it sounds like it still works exactly the same way it did when I started school decades ago

So, 1/4? Or don’t they reduce fraction anymore?

We stopped (mandatorily) reducing crap in precalc lol
Too easy.
When I go grocery shopping and they want to scan stuff in my basket with their “ray gun” because they are too lazy to pick it up and run it across the scanner. It’s a package of ground beef. Oh Come on! I am not asking you to scan a 90 lb dumbbell.
Then when you get home after a 60 mile round trip, you remember all the shit you forgot.
that’s not part of the common core curriculum

Give my sons grilled chicken skewers, grated cheese, broccoli, tomato and cucumber for lunch plus maybe 10 pieces of popcorn (corn, butter, salt).
Wife comes home “WE HAD POPCORN FOR LUNCH”! “You gave them popcorn for their lunch?”.
Thanks kids…
