West Virginia Living and Dining Discussed Anonymously

WV Uncommon Place

Join JR and Guest on their podcast, WV Uncommonplace, as they discuss living in West Virginia and explore the challenges of leaving their home state. In this episode, JR introduces an anonymous guest named "Sally," who recounts experiencing discrimination based on her speech and complexion while visiting different states. They mention how difficult it can be adjusting to unfamiliar dialects and customs. But as they talk about their favorite restaurants and cultural experiences, they emphasize the need for respecting others' opinions and convictions. In the midst of the pandemic, they touch on the topic of vaccinations and different personal responses to the vaccine. They also discuss the challenges of working and staying afloat during the pandemic and the importance of basic manners even without the formal mask mandates that have since been lifted. Finally, they dive into the issue of customer service in various places, from fast food chains to fine dining restaurants. They question if expectations should be higher for chain restaurants, with a recent experience at Applebee's in Cleveland. However, they argue for giving local establishments a chance and supporting small businesses, as they recognize the impact of the pandemic on the hospitality industry. WV Uncommonplace combines personal anecdotes with broad social commentary, providing insightful perspectives on communal life and consciousness. Their dialogue invites listeners to think about how their own experiences impact the greater fabric of society, and how we can improve and grow from them. Tune in now to catch the latest episode!
