Asian here, can attest it's true. They've only ever given me a direct compliment maybe once in my life: when they told me they're proud of my job at a foreign company and how much I'm earning... before telling me that I sound miserable and that I need to find a career I actually dont loathe. I love them and am grateful for the work ethic they've instilled, but a strict childhood do be causing much baggage for the kid. Still don't know what to chat about with them because I've kept my life private for so long for fear of criticism.

Pro Tip: you buy that foaming soap one time. When you run out you take 50% water and 50% cheap hand soap of a similar scent. If you thin down the regular soap it will work in those dispensers.

I'm from a pretty Hispanic area to the point where I can read and understand Spanish pretty well even though I don't speak the language. I went into a market in town just looking for some of the Mexican chips that are harder to find at a regular grocery store and I was in complete shock. They managed to fit an entire grocery store into a space the size of a small barber shop. And I looked at the prices they had and they weren't bad either. Honestly Walmart is probably about the same cost but then you gotta deal with walking around the whole store and waiting in line for an hour because they have one register open. Same place with the European deli in town. It's a little bigger of a building but has an entire deli, bakery, liquor section, produce section plus regular canned/ bagged items you'd normally find at the store. Now I understand how people's grandparents are able to shop exclusively at places like that.

Jimmy's delivery and timing are razor sharp. It's not just humor, it's Asian intelligence steering that ship.

I used to work right next to a Ranch 99. This is pretty on point. Place had solid bao at a great price at the cafeteria, just had to pray the person at the register spoke enough English for me to order. No atmosphere whatsoever, but it was functional. And three times a week one of the older Chinese dudes who worked the place would come over and buy cigarettes. Didn't speak a word of English, but he'd communicate via grunts and pointing, pay in cash, and leave, but he'd leave with that sorta half smile every time. One of the best regular customers I ever had.

Oh man! My dad used to sing "I love you, my son, I love you so much" just to make me cringe 🤣😅 but at the end of the day I know he meant it too 🥲 miss you dad. Best Asian dad ever ❤️

My teacher said, "Hey, you guys. Listen up. Let me save you some trouble and some money. Scientifically, organic just means carbon-based, ok? Anything that includes carbon at the molecular level is, therefore, organic. So save your time and money, and don't buy organic." And the teacher wasn't even Asian. Hah! So good.
