So I went up to the counter and waited till the person came, and I ordered from them.

And I guess all the kiosks then were broken, because a kid came up to me and said, can you help me?

do what order why just use the kit no the chaos not working can you help me what do i do i'm like what do you do to ask for food to and from another person and the same thing like i'm part of me is going what is wrong with you but the other part of me is no you've probably never actually practiced ordering food from another person and you're willing to ask me for help which is lovely i'm i'm grateful but man that's just scary

parenting your child and you're not preparing them for life yeah so australia bans social media and i was just down there last month so i got to get the kind of inside scoop on how it's all going schools are fine with it teachers great principals great kids great the biggest pushback has been from parents because parents are saying what do i do with my kid oh yeah like they're just not
