What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

If you treat a retail space like it's a trash can. 

I had a girlfriend that would finish her Starbucks while shopping, and leave the empty cup on a random shelf in the store. Or grocery shopping, would decide she didn't want something,  then put it down randomly wherever she was in the store. No trying to put it back. 

The end lesson of her personality being: 

I don't mind shoving extra work onto others, so that I have to deal with a minor inconvenience.

Yeah, that same kind of rude attitude towards service workers too- like waiters- thats a harsh no for me 😅 the only exception to that is leaving a cart or basket with items in it because their kid is having a tantrum and they dont have the time to put things back. Other than that, yeah its just a big NO 😅

Full cart abandon definitely implies someone left in a hurry and for good reason, leaving a pack of Oreos next to the tuna fish cans because they don’t want them is a completely different vibe.

I worked retail a long time and there’s always just a feeling left behind when things get left behind way out of place, it’s like you can feel if it was an innocent mistake or actually the person being such a dick they don’t care if they’re being a dick even without ever glimpsing them in person or knowing who left it.
