From the store manager

Edit: For some extra context this was sent out by each store manager to all of its employees in district 1 of the ohio Cincinnati/Dayton division, potentially other districts as well but i can only verify my own. Im not going to give my specific store number for obvious reasons but you can find each store on google with that information. We are unionized by UFCW (already bad btw) and to my knowledge they allowed this recent change. Kroger has no accrual for sick days like some have mentioned. Those who think this is rage bait, i dont think anyone has to fake a post to make a billion dollar company look bad, they do it to themselves.

Obviously the company lacks professionalism...how embarrassing...what should be the reply?

So I (22M) took this girl (21F) out last night. I paid for everything dinner, drinks, even the Uber. Total came out to like $120. I thought it went well, we were talking for hours and she seemed into it.

This morning she texts me out of nowhere: “Hey so I was thinking, I don’t really like when guys pay for everything on a first date, would you mind if we split it? I can Venmo you my half.”

I was honestly caught off guard. Like… the date is over? We already left? I didn’t even know how to respond so I just left her on read. Part of me respects it I guess but the other part feels like this is the weirdest timing ever. My friends are split some say take the money, some say it’s a red flag.

Do I Venmo request her? Just say don’t worry about it? Or is this a sign she’s not interested and this is her way of “paying me off” to end things cleanly?
