Happy belated writing birthday!

And if I never had to go into ANY store again, other than Best Buy and PetSmart, I'd be a happy man.

Congrats on 1 year of writing!

These questions are great. I hope I never have to shop at a Forever 21 again. It’s the epitome of my high school fashion choices lol

And I’ve successfully avoided dining at Applebee’s for the last 15ish years. I intend to keep it that way

Happy regular day to you! (You didn't say anything about that ;D.) Gosh, yes, when there's too much choice, I get so overwhelmed. I'll probably never go to Payless Shoes again because it's shuttered where I am (boo hoo). I'll never go to McDonald's because that will probably make me sick for months.

since I travel a lot for my speaking work, it’s not uncommon that I’ll be checking in to a hotel at midnight or even later having travelled all day and feeling very hungry. I have eaten at a lot of places I would much rather avoid over the years, but lately, I’d rather go hungry then visit an open McDonald’s, Jack-in-the-Box, Chick-fil-A, or the lake. There is one particular restaurant in the Seattle airport that served a chunk of broken glass in a Caesar salad that I had. Needless to say, that particular establishment is not one I’ll be revisiting.

Happy One Year writing dude! You would never be able to tell given how well you write.

I swear I had the same experience trying to look through a clearance rack at Macy's. It's chaotic and I feel they purposely make the bathrooms hard to find so you can see everything they have in the store. I'm never going there again unless there's a zombie apocalypse.
