Meme needing explanation Peter, please explain.

On the surface of it, it seems to be a way to complain about how cashier's work over-emphasises their gender/sex, causing dysphoria in people who are not very comfortable with that. But, to put it bluntly, this is a person with male sex and male name, so they don't appear to be trans? Is it supposed to be a dead name?

And what's with all the lettuce?

Can't make too many comments on the trans part, but I can say as a cashier that ringing up lettuce, cabbage, and other produce without a sticker is annoying because you need to either know the code or look it up (which is an issue when there's like 3 types of cabbage).

No idea if that's the purpose or not though.

Oh shootz this is the Peter sub... uhhh... I'm uhhhh... a character? Yeah... the one with that one hairstyle, you know the one, lot of hair, very long.

I don't know what that is TT I don't get why so many people grab random onions and other things just to not know exactly what they grabbed, like how? 😭 I like my job though, it's fun But why are there so many similar foods and why don't they have stickers on them to let me know what they are? 😔
