Today is Friday the 13th and possibly a full moon, which would explain a lot.
The guy in Photo had jury duty, so he wasn't there.
A few days ago the woman in Cosmetics was saying that she always faces like we have a visit coming. I can personally attest to the fact that this is not true.

Deadly Flip-Flops
While I was facing I saw a warning label on the children's flip-flops. (The Hot Wheels and Barbie ones). The warning said that this product contains substances known to then State of California to cause birth defects and cancer. How would get contaminated? By wearing them? Or eating them? A little disturbing.
A woman I was ringing up said I was "totally adorable" which I thought was very sweet. She asked if I liked working here. I said,
"Well, I'm a mom and wife first, and I have this job because it's a job. And we get health insurance . But it's an ok job. Sometimes I like it."
"Good for you!"

My Kids Won't Be Like That
The first customer I had was one of my least favorite regulars. She always takes a long time at the register because she has to argue and fuss and do the math really slow. She leans on the counter and asks about things that are none of her business. She gets into loud and stupid arguments with her whiny daughter. Today was no different.
One of the youngish, hipster girls I see regularly asked,
"Do people always tell you their pregnancy stories?"
"Yes, thank you for noticing! There is something about pregnancy that makes people get crazy. Even I have trouble not saying stuff to ladies I think are pregnant. Because God forbid she is just chunky."
"Yeah, that happened to my friend. She cried a lot."
"That is exactly the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid."

You Go, Honey
I had an awkward interaction with two (high school?) boys. One boy started chatting with me about how they look. They were both wearing black t-shirts and khakis. The chatty one asked if they looked like brothers. They did not, which I said. But I did let then know they were matchies. And the tall one said,
"But I'm the cute one. , right?"
I guess I made a face that said he was the cute one, and he yelled ,
"Ooooohhhh!" And laughed. Which I felt really bad about. But he was, to me anyway. So awkward.
I rung up a gay/flamboyant guy; during the transaction my register kind of froze. He was fussing about it tying into the kind of day he was having. He and I had some funny, bitchy dialogue.
I was 37 minutes late because my husband's workday lasted too long. I called ahead to let them know. And then I got a chance to talk to a co-worker I haven't seen in awhile.
The pharmacy is leaving their overstock in the aisles. Let the fights begin.

A Mix-Up
My crazy regular came in to print her photos. She called ahead to see if I could help her. I asked my manager to talk to her. I ended up helping her for almost two hours. We chatted and I chose her photos. It was exhausting.

"Did You Start Lactating Yet?"
A customer actually asked me that. While he grabbed his man-boob . Awkward.
A couponer and I revealed ourselves to each other. She used a coupon, and I said that I need to get that coupon out of my binder. There was a brief pause and she started to say
"Are you one too?"
"I am. I have the Trapper-Keeper with the baseball card holders. "
We talked about past and current deals and I told her what cashiers to a avoid. We had some giggles. It's always nice to meet another.
The women's bathroom smelled like a mix between a vet's office and what I think an outdoor crime scene in July would smell like. When I investigated. I saw that someone had gotten poop splatter on the outside of the toilet bowl. And on the floor. And the wall. It smelled so bad I had to pull my shirt over my nose.
The new manager was here.

On My Smartphone
Something terrible happened to my laptop. So now I'm on my smartphone.
I rung up a guy who was on his phone and he was saying that "the Kings were on his ass". Not his ass, his friend's. I didn't know the Kings were up this far.
My crazy-ass co-worker got Employee Of The Month! I'm kind of surprised but also a little proud of him. He really wanted it.
The oldest pharmacist ever was leaving the store when he turned around and said
"You're a very pretty girl."
"Oh, thank you. Thank you."
My personal transaction was really long today. Because my co-worker accidentally pressed the wrong button. And then my coupon didn't go through and he had already pressed 'payment'. We had to void it twice! But I saved 65% so it was worth it.
Two people asked if we were hiring. I work in a very desirable location.
