Small acts of equality? Would it mean anything?

One of the very small privileges that I get as a white woman, is almost never having my receipt checked at stores that do that (no so much at warehouse stores, but other stores.) Would it do any good to insist on them checking it? Would that right any wrong? Would that make them aware they were being biased and unfair or would it just annoy the unfortunate worker? Are they making the judgement, or have they been told by management who to check?

Plant robot

One of the problems with me trying to avoid going shopping often is that my ability to keep fresh greens in the house was diminished. I would often pick up a salad on the way home. I decided to splurge and get a plant robot. Now many of you might say, "but you can just grow things in soil, you know. Much cheaper." I have a serious black thumb. I have killed almost every indoor plant I've ever owned, including one of those "air plants," and lot so things people insisted I could not kill.

I've had it for about 2.5 weeks now, and it's making lettuce. For me it's a big win, though I've only barely started to be able to eat what I am growing (and still only as lettuce on sandwiches.) I'm going to start up the second side once the lettuce is big enough to start making salads.

If you are a normal person who can grow plants normally, it's a horrible waste of money, but for me, I'm hoping it will be a way to improve the quality of my diet, so it was costly, but I think worth it.
