r/TwoXChromosomes: You are the community. You have all the power of the internet to mold it.

I am I guess proud to say this but I can go from ugly to somewhat attractive pretty quickly. The power of glasses to contacts, nice hair, doing your makeup and putting on a nice non comfy outfit is real.

Last week, I went to home depot after work looking like a bum. I kept lifting heavy soil bags and it was clearly obvious I was struggling and no one bothered to help me. I asked two separate employees as well and they said it was company policy that people needed to do those things on their own. This is despite the fact, I’ve seen employees even help people put stuff into their car.

However today, I went back to the store needing to get some mulch looking fairly nice as I just came back from lunch with a friend. and as soon as I lifted one heavy bag into my cart, an employee walked up to me and offered to help me out. He even dragged the cart and helped me put everything into my cart.

I felt really weirded out. Things like this have happened to me at bars and restaurants but I never thought something like this would happen at Home Depot of all places. Pretty privilege is real.
