true story...
for those of you who don't know and this is ridiculous considering the whole .5 people who read this know where i work, i will give a little background information for this real life story. i work at publix in weston town center. i am a cashier and have been working there for two years. today something strange happened. as i was cashiering two women and two teenage girls came up next in line. they had a lot of groceries, it was a pretty big order. well they were pretty outgoing, well the women at least. the girls just kept looking at me and turning away, something i'm used to. well the one lady, who looks pretty whorish, starts talking and laughing with me. then there is a discrepency over the price of a four pack of bumble bee tuna. it rang up 5.29 and she said it was cheaper than that. so we walk over to aisle three and lo and behold, she is right. the tuna is actually 2.99. so as we are walking back to the register, the mayhem begins. the lady tells me straight up that her daughter and niece think i'm hot. and that they were staying at the suites across from publix and wanted to know when i got off work. because they would be out at the pool. and that i should come by and get to know the girls. so i lie and say i'm working till midnight. they weren't ugly or anything but it was just weird. so we get back to the register and i continue checking out. well she keeps talking and then her sister begins chiming in. so since i work and take my job so very very very seriously, (lol!), i maintain an outgoing and happy attitude. and laugh and such with these crazy people from missouri. they pay. then the lady is like, when do you get off, we'll be at the pool across the street all night, we'll prob be there from like 12 to 2 or so. now i'm floored by this, how ridiculous can this lady be. she asks me when i'm getting off even though i already told her, then she makes her "pool hours" correspond with my "work schedule". this lady is acting as a wingman for her kids. this is crazy. but she doesn't give up there, she continues asking me and repeating that they will be at the pool. then her sister buys some magazines and tells me again, the same thing the original lady said. this has absolutely thrown me for a loop, like who does that. so i'm thinking, maybe i'm just reading into this, well the customer behind them is a lady who's about 35ish, she smiles at me and says, you were just hit on by a girl's mom. are you going to go over there or what?, i laugh it off, but then i realize, i wasn't looking too far into it, the other lady confirmed it. so after i thought about the situation i came to a few conclusions: 1) people from missouri are crazy 2) i only get hit on by weird people 3) i need to stop working at publix
on another note, i'm totally pissed off, i rented million dollar baby tonight, because my parents are fascist, and thats a whole story in itself, but i'm watching the movie, it's amazing, i'm getting in to it, she get's paralyzed and i'm almost in tears(a movie to make me want to cry is saying something) and bam "unable to read disc", i got a fucking scratched dvd, fucking a man, so now i have to go back tomorrow, get a new disc, but i won't be in the flow of the movie, so it won't be the same as if i had seen it all the way through, ughghhghgghhghghghghgh good night, i'm weird, oh well , though shit!
