Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

If i made that clear I was bad at writing, I feel you represented my case well but I was totally the customer. I didnt talk radical shit while they were behind the counter or anything. Just after years of friendly chit chat while getting groceries or whatever, I would get to know people and then I'd often catch them on breaks, usually the people I got along with were also work friends amongst themselves, so we could talk more freely in those times. After that I just give em email addresses for my friends on the labor board and for the local IWW chapter to use as resources with issues at work. After a bit of that, it handles itself. This is a process that takes years. It wasn't like, a plan or anything, I just have the mindset that I should be friends with the workers in places I shop all the time.
