Shop Talk this week looks at three things you can do to seize opportunities and bring yourself some luck. Caught My Eye looks at the rise of the single feature phone with Gen Z. Also, Will Levis of the Titans gets a lifetime contract with Hellman’s Mayo. Why mayonnaise? He likes it in his coffee instead of cream. Our Business Birthday is Rowland H. Macy, founder of Macy’s Department Stores. But first, Tim and John reminisce about Bob Barker who died this past week at 99 years old.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

The owner of an empty building lot in Connecticut is surprised to find a developer has built a $1.5 million home on it. The issue is now in the courts. Then, the Republican legislature in Indiana now requires schools to alert parents of children who want to be called by a name other than what is on their birth certificate—clearly directed at trans kids, simple nicknames also require a form. Finally, a woman leaves her 7-year-old French bulldog in a stroller at the Pittsburgh airport near the parking lot so she could catch her flight to a resort vacation.

A San Diego Library gets help from the community when two anti-LGBTQ parents checked-out every book featured on the Pride display, intending to never return them. They demanded the library also remove all LGBTQ titles on the shelves. Their effort backfired beautifully. Then, a movie theater in NJ called the police on a mother who brought her autistic son into the bathroom, yelling at her that the bathroom was not trans. The mother is suing. Finally, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttieg has announced a new rule that requires airlines to make bathrooms more accessible for people with disabilities.
