It has come to my attention that more of my coworkers are reading this blog. Or perhaps one of my coworkers is reading it more frequently. Either way, I'm happy. Also, I might have inspired one to start her own. Very good.
This woman with her baby in tow was purchasing some Sprite, Cheetos, and a bunch of baby food. She asked how she gets cash back from her Link card if she now gets cash benefits. I told her the swipe machine will prompt her, but all she can get back is $20. $40 if she wants me to split up her purchases.
"Oh, thats it? I wanted to get $150 back so I could buy my baby some new shoes."
"$150? No, I don't think our register could handle that. That won't work."
What I meant to say was 'I'm sorry that you think it is appropriate to buy $150 shoes for a child who probably doesn't even know what he is wearing, and who will outgrow them in approximately six months.' Normally I don't do too much judging on people's purchases (God forbid people judge me on my excessive candy purchases), but I believe that if you are on government aid, you should not be spending said aid on $150 shoes for a baby. However, perhaps the $150 would have been spent over several shoes. Although I doubt it.
The ma and children family who have become my regulars came in today. The boy is still covered in bed bug or flea bites (or maybe its' a rash). And the mom was purchasing juice boxes for everyone, but one of the juice boxes was puffy. Which I'm pretty sure is a sign that it is spoiled. She either didn't notice, didn't know, or didn't care. But I do, so I had her go get another one. The last thing that family needs is juice poisoning.
There was a whole bunch of other tidbits I wanted to write about, and now I can't remember them. I knew I should have written them down on one of those crazy lists I make while I'm at the front.
