In all seriousness, you touch an important point there: The people who'd need therapy the most are often the least able to afford it. And that's not even a US-only thing. Even in countries with general healthcare, therapy is not always easy to get, especially if you're not clinically insane and don't have obvious, life-threatening psychological conditions. And even if you it's getting paid for, getting an appointment can take several months or a year, as there are just too few therapists and many regions.

It is baffling how fast you are producing content from your new set. Your Kickstarter ended in March last year and you're releasing content less than 18 months later. That's pretty darn impressive. The set looks great! It's going to be great fun to see the other spaces, too.

[@aabChris]

Adam not getting punished for dropping that pen is the biggest bs ever *giggle*

[@DrSlasher]

I love Britt being the, let's say, weirdo of the store. Also, more Rhi is always welcome!

[@Dzekin]

I think that Britt just wants to earn as much money as possible, since 1. at TechTown actual work = $, so slackers are punished for slacking be earning less, 2. probably being a top worker increases her earing odds

[@geordiejones5618]

I see her as the tryhard. Every store and shop and warehouse has at least 1 person that's paid the same as everyone else but works 10 times as hard.

[@kartauto]

i think theres gonna be a reason she is like that, like an episode where the others also turn into "tryhards". maybe she is scared or wants to be paid a lot idk we will see

[@ryhi5]

The way I see it, Britt is the social climber. Try hard is a good word too. In any business, corporate, retail or otherwise. You have at least one person who is a general employee but hungers for a promotion, so he/she is always sucking up to the manager, always volunteering for extra work, but is incredibly spiteful to his/her coworkers because they could potentially get the promotion instead of the try hard.

[@AutisticRPGer]

I feel like she’s going to get revenge at some point for her old coworkers getting fired for Alan,Ellie, and Adam

You know what, I know we're all waiting for the masks of Rowan's Dad and their manager to inevitably slip but I think it'd be cool for the twist is just them being genuinely nice and chill people (relatively considering what Rowan's dad did the last episode lol) this time around lol.

To Alan Adam and Ellie, Rowan feels like he is that little too extra friend that you get annoyed being with, but it would feel even weirder without them. Alan's "Literally what are you talking about." delivery killed me. Happy that Rhi is back, loved her in the other skits.

Wonder if anyone's talking about how Brit is getting a raw deal. Manager gets promoted to general manager, and the dedicated worker that's been there for a long time and the brand new employees have try outs to be a manager. I guess that is accurate to real life though.
