A post by Dr. Amy Psy.D. @dramypsyd@ohai.social saying: So I had to stop by Best Buy and the sales guy was going really hard trying to get me to sign up for the credit card. Like I said I didnāt want it and he was like ādoes YOUR card get you 15% off I donāt think soā and I was like buddy I know they make you push it but please stop and he was like actually they donāt, I just really like the Best Buy credit card. And then he wouldnāt tear my receipt off because he said the chemicals would take away his testosterone. Anyway this is why I shop online.

The first part was super believable but then the obviously fake testosterone thing just makes you question the whole anecdote
yeah, no, uh, i regret to inform yaāll that toxic bpa receipt paper potentially causing hormone problems thru skin absorbtion is an actual thing and not some weird bs conspiracy theory thing: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bpa-receipts-major-store-chains-study/
itās unsure how much of an effect it has on humans so far but it does affect lab animals.
Huh TILā¦ Thatās actually kinda funny to me since the tail end of my time working retail happens to be when I first started developing gynecomastia. Iām nonbinary so it never bothered me but I found out shortly after when my doctor was trying to figure out another issue that Iāve got really low T levels so itās funny to me that thereās technically a remote possibility that working retail caused that whole thing.
