This is only for the woman and man that's doing the trash sticker service todayNov.29,23 they were pleasant and when I said thank you which I always do the man said have a good day. To some that may not be a lot but to me it was heart warming. Usually I go in there to get trash stickers it's unpleasant African American women and yes I'm black but they don't say anything always on mute.
