Kicked out of store for being Unemployed
being a Mascot in the last two years.
Other than that, I study Physics and Economics.
But I know a lot more than bachelor's
and even some students in business. I also talk
frequently with a University Economist. And he's interested
in what I have to say.
The whole reason I'm on disability, is because I was on income support, and the
whole reason I was on income support was because
I had to drop out of college, and the whole reason I had to drop out,
was because I was living on someone's floor and I lost my job
because I was being ripped off on my pay checks and I got really angry about it so they fired me.
And the ONLY reason I don't want to work in an Oil Patch is because I DON'T HAVE TO. I WOULD LOSE MY
SANITY. WHICH I NEED TO SURVIVE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Dude, you said already you don't want to get a job that is worth less than you are. Look at what Oliveoilmom wrote. It does not sound good when you say that. Saying things like that is the reason why there is a stigma on being on welfare and why so many people think lot of people on it are lazy. Of course you have AS but if you are not working because you don't want to work for something that is worth less than you are, that is where people are going to come in and judge you and think you are abusing the system as others have pointed out too.
That, my friend, is an assumption, Not a conclusion. A conclusion would be based on
a number of questions, not statements
if you are not working because you cannot work (due to your AS or other issues), that would be the honest answer when a store clerk asks you about your work situation. if you instead answer that certain jobs are "beneath you" an answer like that would be irrelevant, arrogant, and could lead to being rightfully banned from the store. this is fairly straightforward. you made a choice as to how you would answer the question, and i think you knew that your answer was a form of real life trolling.
you didn't fill me in on the name or address of this supposed edmonton communist bakery. i would sure like to know all about it for when i go back to visit.

It has been educational so I should thank WhiteWidow for this. Is not WhiteWidow a weed strain?

You can talk all day about meaning BS, but if your not going to do anything what difference does it make, who cares about Obama care your in Canada.

Yep... imagine you're slaving away at a minimum-wage job you loathe with a passion and in walks some guy who essentially says (to the clerk's ears), "I don't work - I get free money to stay home and buy your overpriced candy."
Small wonder some people get upset when seeing things from that point of view... doubly-so when that guy comes in and starts telling the clerk he's "wrong" or "stupid" somehow... like for not believing his unemployed customer's political beliefs when he's just trying to get through another horrible, horrible day at work.
You can imagine what would have happened if he had said that to some good ole boy down here lol.
I almost wish he would.

Trolling? Banned from store? I can say and do anything I want, I don't have a duty to anyone, it's not arrogant. I'm not
inflicting harm upon anyone. And if anyone chooses to be offended, then let them.
It's Duchess. They call me the "fair trade guy". The first time I walked in there, I ate some of their sample
chocolates, one piece for each five bowls. And then I asked the girl clerk if she knew what fair-trade was
because she had brought it up. Then I really wanted to get to the bottom of it, and she had a computer,
and wasn't busy so I asked if we could search for the term.
Then she told her manager apparently. And they had a good laugh. Because the next
time I came back I was referred to as the fair trade guy

Why? So you can push your two cents, and half an understanding down my throat till I conform to your biased viewpoint
of harmless interaction?
it's private property, so in fact you can't say anything you want or they will ban you from the store.
Duchess isn't a communist bakery.

Posting their website doesn't mean that they're now automatically liberal and capitalist.
I talked to their owner directly about net revenues And he said himself
that he is a communist. It also doesn't mean he is aloud to kick me out
if I have the interest to buy something. If he doesn't want to talk to me,
fair enough. But I have the right to spend my money wherever I want. Because I have the right to vote
with my dollars. And he is explicitly stating that he doesn't want my vote, yet he is running in the race with all the other
contestants. He is also supported by a tax-payers association. Therefor he is saying to the tax-payer
in explicitly, that he doesn't care if taxes raise to 50% let alone 11% where they are currently on Income.
Because the ABA will continue to buy his commercial paper, regardless of net revenues. So he
wants tax-payer capital, but he doesn't care if they shop at his store, because the only revenue
he cares about is guaranteed and paid for in full via the Provincial government. And as long as the inflation
continues to increase, like it did in two days to .45 cents on a 2.05 pizza pop, then his business will continue
to increase revenue, regardless of free-flowing untaxed capital.
It is public property. It is private property on privately owned land for the purpose of business so that the land
owner may collect more net revenue from the most profitable business stationed.
Nobody can ban you from a store because they ask you about your ideas, or you get
into a conversation, and you DISAGREE.
Heaven forbid! Dissent! Jews!
I just.. I don't really understand why you keep
talking if you don't want to ask me questions?
Or analyze.. or make your own conclusions based
on statistics derived from myself.
This is probably why I can't handle autistic communities,
because we are stubborn. But you can't be a stubborn
person unless you're willing to commit to your statistics.
Wanna' see stubborn? Look in a mirror.
Seriously... we're trying to tell you WHY not just these stores, but all others, will have the same problem - and the problem is your terrible attitude and behaviour. You keep tossing the comments aside, saying you're better and smarter and can do whatever you want.
No. You can't. Your actions affect other people. "That's not my problem!" I imagine you thinking... YES - that IS your problem.
You piss off the store employees and customers with your rambling about stuff no one wants to hear, you'll get banned. Period. Store owners want to conduct as much business as possible with the least amount of stress. You're scaring away customers and adding stress. That'll make them get rid of you. That's the pattern - expect it.
As to jobs? Being smart is NOT ENOUGH. Knowing things is NOT ENOUGH. Unless you have working job experience and/or an actual educational institution diploma, your knowledge is worth very little.
I know this because I once thought similarly to you... and shot myself in the foot because of it (so to speak.)
Please take some of the advice being offered in this thread - it really is to your own benefit.

Seriously. This is good advice.
I had the same thought patterns, and it's causing me problems now. It's by no means the only source of my problems, but it certainly hasn't helped matters.
You know what makes it easier to get things done? Money.
You know what that menial job you don't want will pay you? Money.
You can use that money to further your progress toward your actual goals.
Don't think of a crappy job as something you'll be stuck with for the rest of your life. Think of it as a stepping stone; a tool to help you get what you really want.

I agree that actions affect other people. Therefor, instead of condemning me for my personal choice
and disagreeing with his perspective, I'm sure I could map out a good idea as to why
many college graduates are homeless in America. Socialism at it's finest.
And because we don't agree, we need to agree to disagree. Unless it
harms one of us, economically or physically or in some other manner.
I don't see how spending money, or trying to analyze a complex international situation
that affects the economy domestically, is a problem. Nor do I see how it
harms anyone.
MAYBE
you should realize, that forums, social engineering projects based on the Internet, are
pointless. As are E-Readers. And that this entire digital outcry, is merely just that.
A cry for attention.
So unless we need to feel that we're worth value because we've been chosen,
or choose to trade our labor so that we feel that we're contributing, or run for breast cancer to pay money to Phizer
for outsourced research, is OUR CHOICE. NOT OUR DUTY.

Do you have that money? Do you think you could if the USD was worth 1.35? And the CAD was worth 1.04? Probably not hey?
Or private business opportunities, because inflation is low because there is assets to hedge the currency?
MAAAAN. I'm off my rocker! I guess a man who feels that
he deserves freedom because he deserves security, deserves neither. As Ben Franklin said.
Meaning, if you don't resist, or say "no" or say anything, or offer a suggestion, or
agree to disagree in relation to harmful/non harmful behavior, you're merely a savage
without the ability to communicate. Unless of course you are being forced
at gun point and your only option is to subdue or be wasted.
You deserve secure options because you're a free human being. Because
you have free will to say yes and no, and know what is wrong from right, because you are not an animal
subdued by another animal. Because you are divine, you are the material and immaterial. Apparently
the super computers connected, are malfunctioning. Otherwise, the giant super computer and it's derivatives
known as peoples intellect capacity, would be working in unison. That is clearly not the case.

OK, now I am convinced that you just trying to argue about the dubious virtues of your decision to live as a slacker.
I sorted through garbage at a recycling plant for minimum wage over the course of three years of my life. I know that I am a very intelligent person, and even though this job did not make the most of my potential, I did not think that this dirty work was beneath me. Somebody had to do it, and for that time, I was that somebody.
There is no shame in any kind of legitimate grunt work employment. For you to say that such work is beneath you presents a strange contradiction - you are a card-carrying slacker who waves around his decision to slack as a sign of rebellion against whatever the hell you are rebelling against, and you have a sense of snobbery over people who work for their money. I have to wonder, why do you feel so proud about all of this?

What is a "slacker?" or a "loser?" to you? Do you think for one minute, if someone offered you twice as much as you were being paid
currently to do whatever your heart desired, you wouldn't have the incentive? No incentive? To relax? You've worked 29 jobs, people
constantly call you stupid, condemn you for desiring freedom like his ancestors in the Cold War, or prior to the creation of a
Central Bank. Yeah, I'm such a "slacker" according to you and the other infinitely irrational humans
And the best that the disability office can conjur is a part time job at a delivery post office 2 hours from your location during winter time?
To wear a uniform, clean shave, follow backwards arithmetic, and subdue your suggestions or query's only so that
the productive flow can continue in unison, consistently destroying the processing time for orders and packages
because the corporation doesn't have enough capital to hire human labor? So they "cost reduce" their "technology"
in relation to their operational costs. Reduce hours, convenience of location, wages, increase hours,
decrease staff, responsibilities. And especially room for error, and their innate ability to condemn in relation
to their miniscule understanding of the circumstance and economics or any sorts of measurements.

Just out of curiosity, do you know why you lost those 29 jobs?

Heh, I used to feel the way you do now. I lost quite a few jobs in a row myself. I gave up, and since I had my SSDI on my side, I resorted to living off that alone and to not being a part of the world around me.
All of your defenses cannot hide the reality that you are only harming yourself here.
