“(Schizophrenic) Individuals in this sample were at least 14 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than to be arrested for one. In general, the risk associated with being in the community was higher than the risk these individuals posed to the community”
This means that neurotypicals are a much bigger threat to schizophrenic people than schizophrenic people are to neurotypicals.
You can now shove all your “psycho killer” stereotypes up your ass.

I’d really appreciate if non schizophrenic people reblogged this cause the misconception that schizophrenic people are dangerous is so widespread and I really want people to see this post so that they won’t react with fear and apprehension when they meet a schizophrenic person.
The only major chain retail store that I know of that allows their cashiers to sit is the Aldi grocery store, a German chain. Their starting pay is also $12 an hour chain-wide.
The interior of the store looks like this so they save money on the annoying shelf restocking. Products remain in their boxes until being removed by customers. No unboxing and putting stuff on shelves, and constantly having to rearrange it. Also, the boxes make inventory a breeze as a sealed box has a defined number of items in it.
Typical American grocery stores have shelves like this
Every item has to be unboxed and neatly stacked on the shelves. If they get messed up by the customers, everything has to be rearranged back to specific rigid order. When you have to verify the inventory, every item has to be removed from the shelves to be counted and put back. Aldi’s also do not have plastic bags. You can buy reusable bags or simply use the empty cardboard boxes that are available.
Last is the carts. Most grocery stores have their carts strewn across the parking lots, rolling around and hitting cars until a store employee is sent out to collect them, after being yelled at by the manager when they were told to do other tasks in the meantime. Aldi’s chains those carts together and you have to put a Quarter in to release it. When you are done, you plug the chain back in and get your Quarter back. If others are lazy, you can collect and return the loose carts and collect the Quarters.
What do you mean cashiers don’t sit in grocery stores in US?!?!?!? LIKE WHAT??!!!!!! The only people who don’t sit are like, bartenders and people who work behind counters in bakeries and such. Which is still criminal as far as I’m concerned. Let poor people sit!
Also locking the carts is the most basic thing?? Not all store chains do it, but still??
No. Cashiers here have to stand. When I worked retail, the only time I got to sit down all shift was for my 30 minute break.
And the locking the carts thing is ONLY Aldi here. Most stores send employees out to collect carts every so often, even when the weather is awful and they have other shit to do.
pretty much every grocery store here has cashiers stand and the unlucky one fetch the carts. There’s little stations customers have to put the carts away in to make it easier for the cart fetcher, but people can be assholes. So they leave them.
I dont even know if other places in the U.S have those stations. I hope they do.
my husband apparently hasn’t been paid his college allowance (veteran’s benefits) in two months and I’m about ten dollars short of my credit card limit with my next paycheck more than a week away with it immediately going into my credit card and then my credit card immediately being used for bills

if we lose our house, we lose the ability to pull ourselves out of this pit at all in the foreseeable future, and I may be rendered unemployable completely

a lot of people i’ve interacted with still think the whole chiquita death squads thing was only a rumor so I wanted to point out that they owned up to it and got fined.
so a corporation literally funded right wing terrorists to kill innocent people and only got fined. $25 million. chiquita has annual revenues of $3 billion. that should really have been a wake up call to anyone thinking corporations are treated unfairly, but it wasn’t. this is capitalism.
Pepsi is also directly responsible for the coup of Allende. Allende was actually supposed to win the 1963 election, but was unable to bc corporations like Pepsi poured millions into his opponent’s campaign. In return, his opponent promised to protect their investments. In 1970, when Allende finally won, the CEO of PepsiCo explicitly demanded President Nixon stage a coup against Allende bc as a socialist, he would threaten Pepsi’s and other foreign investments. Pressured by these corporations, Nixon eventually took action https://www.theguardian.com/business/1998/nov/08/observerbusiness.theobserver
I expect my followers are very tired of hearing me point this out, but Chiquita Brands International is United Fruit Company.
United Fruit Company of Pablo-Neruda poem infamy. United Fruit Company of the-Banana-Massacre infamy. United Fruit Company of bribing-the-Honduran-president-$2.5-million-to-lower-the-tax-on-banana-exports-and-inspiring-Congress-to-create-the-Foreign-Corrupt-Practices-Act (aka Bananagate) infamy. United Fruit Company of 1954-Guatemalan-coup (while the head of the CIA - Allen Dulles - sat on United Fruit’s board of directors, and the Secretary of State - his brother, John Foster Dulles - had long represented United through his law firm, and the ambassador to the UN - Henry Cabot Lodge - owned a pile of United Fruit Co stock, and their public relations lobbyist - Ed Whitman - was married to Eisenhower’s private secretary) followed-by-forty-years-of-civil-war-and-genocide infamy. United Fruit Company of literally-responsible-for-inspiring-the-term “banana-republic” infamy. THAT United Fruit Company.
My favorite misunderstanding I’ve had to clear up so far was a Japanese person asking me about the word “fuck”. Because apparently someone had told him if he said “fuck” in America that he might be killed on the spot. Which I think is the funniest lie that I’ve ever heard
