My Walmart has a little button to summon an employee. The last time (as in, both the most recent time and the final time) I went there at night to try getting diaper rash cream for my baby I pressed the button, and waited.

And waited.

Pressed the button again.

And waited.

Sunk cost fallacy. I’ve already waited so long, what if as soon as I walk away to find an employee somebody shows up?

After 10 minutes I went to find an employee stocking the shelves and told them what I needed. Their answer was “yeah, we saw you buzzed but we don’t know who has the key. If we find out we’ll have them open it for you.”

So I left .

I hate Walmart so much.

Lost my sense of smell and taste for about three weeks but then it went back to normal.

I didn’t have any other symptoms and didn’t realize I had COVID until I tried smelling some freshly blended horseradish and couldn’t smell anything, but man did it still burn the nostrils. Would not recommend.

I have a friend that also had it and lost smell and taste for a month or two and it’s mostly come back, but coffee tastes disgusting to him now.
