*paper? plastic it is.*

yesterday was long...surprise surgery on the back- fun time. now i have another set of ugly stitches which will eventually add to my ugly scar collection. just so everyone knows dunkin donuts now has lemonade coolattas and i highly recommend them. after school i went out to lunch with the twin and mumzy and then to em j's- "and God said 'let's... DO MATH!" if sunny d is giong to assign us a project, she best know we're gunna do it our way.. and so we did. concluded the night with a showing of super troopers with jenny b and ange - second time we've watched it this week, and therefore the second time we've laughed the whole movie long.

*after only one day of working i have already began a list of what i hate- not about grocery stores, but about the customers-

1. old people. they are picky. and they are old.
2. anyone who requests paper bags. paper is slow, cuts up your arms, and doesnt fit right in the friggen carriages, therefore making the bagger re-arrange all their previously placed groceries.
3. people who request one type of bag then change their mind after you've already begun bagging them.
4. people who make too many requests: " i want everything in paper, except the fruit, meat, anything cold, and anything wet. and i want this with this and that with that..."- do it your fucking self then!
5. the people who criticize you: "oh, you put the fruit with the vegetables? i kind of wanted it separate" and you couldn't have told me that 5 minutes ago?
6. little kids who jump up and down by the side of the carriage saying "i can't wait till i be a bagger!" kids, cherish your childhood for the love of God.
7. the people who assume baggers are all knowing and ask questions we have no idea how to answer, then make us feel stupid about it.
8. those who put their groceries on the counter so slow that when you finally start bagging them you have no carriage to put them in because they are still unloading them, causing a pile up and leaving you no place to put anything.
9. the people who put their carriages 6 inches away from you, making you leannnnnn all the way over to drop their shit in their carriage often making it tip over and fall out.
10. people who request paper bags but have wayyy too many groceries to fit in their cart, since paper takes more room than plastic.
11. the people who see you backed up on groceries and stand there watching you work instead of helping arrange their carts to make it easier for you or putting their own bags in.
12. people who ignore you completely when you ask paper or plastic- you KNOW they can hear you, they're just too busy to answer... and slow you down.
13. the people who do not appreciate the "have a nice day" you give them. hey, we don't have to say it- i'm not getting paid due to how nice i am, and they'd do well to remember that.
14. the people who fill their baskets up so much that there's no way you can fit their bagged groceries back in therefore forcing you to get a cart and once again be slowed down.
15. the people who respond to the "paper or plastic?" question with 'yes'. yes to which one, asshole.
16. the double baggers- you know, the ones who ask you to double bag every blessed item. it's people like that who add to the number of trees chopped down for plastic. people in africa don't even get groceries- they starve, so one bag is enough damn it.
17. everyone who asks for their items to first be bagged in plastic, then in paper. what is the point of using both? there isn't one!
18. the people who do not speak english and simply point at a type of bag... but instead of pointing specificly at a bag they just point to the middle. you want that wrapped in my smock?

all you grocery baggers out there can appreciate that and can feel free to add to it.
