I've been to many many Sheetz because I travel for work and pretty much every Sheetz I've been to has served the milkshakes and the food on the same shelf if ordered on doordash. Yet for whatever reason the Sheetz closest to me keeps the drinks on a separate counter or in the fridge under that counter. I can't tell you how many times I've had dashers not pick up the the drinks, even when I mention this weird system in great detail within the pick up instructions.

Recently a dasher missed it and told me that Sheetz said I hadn't ordered any smoothie, and I'm standing there like "Didn't you point to the receipt where it says theres a smoothie?" And she went 🤷‍♀️

Why is this Sheetz different, can I do anything to change it? I don't have a car atm and just want a little treat once a week, I'm so sick of this shit.

I've noticed that reporting undeniably racist content literally does nothing unless multiple people report it. Are there any Facebook tag groups that serve as watchdogs and help mass report things like literal white supremacist accounts? It makes me sick that meta gives these people a platform

Tldr: I put a lot of time and mental/emotional effort into dating that never pays off. Now whenever I finally find a connection with a match after several days of whimsical and deep conversation my first thought is "Ooh this ones going to hurt later" instead of "I can't wait to see where this goes."

I'm (29M) not unfamiliar with dating apps, I've started a few relationships through them. Although after using them extensively in my area again for over a year, they're taking a serious toll on my mental health. I send out funny/creative messages with likes/swipes when its free on the apps because I know I won't stand out if don't put in this kind of effort. My profile has a clever bio, solid pictures pictures that positively reflect my appearance and life, and has been vetted by many of my female friends. It takes weeks or even a months of daily swiping across 4 apps to match with a few women I find interesting and attractive.

Then when I finally find someone I seriously vibe with (usually after a few months), I get ghosted out of nowhere after 3-7 days of great conversation or we go on a wonderful 1st date and a week later they break things off because someone else entered the picture. I know I'm not doing/saying anything creepy or wrong and I also know that I'm a cute, fun, and friendly person. It took a lot of therapy and friends to convince that but I know my worth now. I get that this is a common experience in the dating world too since theres more men than women on the apps and far more problematic men than normal men.

Although its gradually stripping me of whatever optimism I have left. I get so excited whenever I finally start talking to someone I vibe with, and why shouldn't I after putting in so much work? Then whenever I get ghosted or rejected through no fault of my own, I feel terribly upset. Its like failing the 2nd stage of a job interview over and over again. I don't think human beings were meant to endure this kind of weird social torture in order to find love but what else are we supposed to do? Society is being pressured to abandon public spaces, confining dating to a digital hellscape unless you live in a large city or college campus. Its fucking awful but aside from hoping for an impossibly lucky meetcute moment in my tiny city, or my hobbies become more popular, the desolate wasteland of dating apps are my only option.
