Grocery Store Edict

Grocery Store Edict

1) If you are using one of those hand held baskets. Do NOT just set the basket on the register belt. Stop being fucking lazy and actually take your item's out. It's easier on us. Because chances are you're just going to have to wait for me to check you out longer when I have to empty it myself before scanning it all.

2) Do NOT hand me your coupons at the beginning of your order. I'm only going to set them aside and probably forget about them by the time I'm through ringing up your shit. It's not going to kill you to hang on to them until I get to your last item.

3) When we are doing promotions or asking for donations to help a local charity do NOT get snotty with me because you are tired of being asked every time you come in the store. I am only doing my job. Besides that more than likely you were asked by a different cashier, and if by chance it was me who asked you the last time you came in, I don't remember every single person that comes through my line, especially if it was 3 days ago.

4) The plastic bars that are on the side of the register are there for a fucking reason. That reason being that it's to separate your order from the person's in front of you. FUCKING USE IT. Then maybe I wouldn't have to make sure which shit is yours.

5) Do NOT hand me crumpled up money. It's really not that hard to fucking straighten them out.

6) Do NOT pull out a hand full of change and tell me to pick it out. I don't know what the fuck you've had in your pocket or on your hands. For all I know there's some pretty nasty bacteria growing there. I already have to handle dirty money don't make it worse.

7) Do NOT lay your money on the register belt if it is moving. This should be an obvious. My hand is more than likely sticking out waiting for you to hand it to me anyways.

8) If you ask to use my pen GIVE IT BACK. Jesus fucking Christ. And if it has a cap, I want that back too.

9) When you are to impatient to hold your check while I scan your fucking items do NOT set it under my register monitor. I may not see you set it there and if I do, you're lucky. You know the little flat surface where you wrote out your check? Set it there. Fucking simple.

10) Make sure you have everything you came in for before getting in a fucking line. Nothing is more annoying then when you forget something and need to run to go get it, it's rude. You are running up my "Rings Per Minute" and making customers behind you wait. They get impatient so by the time you leave they're agitated and take it out on me.

11) Do NOT ask me if I am open if it is obvious that my register light is on. Yes I am fucking open.

Browsing

So yesterday I spent the entire day lounging around in bed, barfing my brains out. But between times when my head was stuck in the toilet I found myself hooked on StumbleUpon. I found some pretty awesome sites, but one of my favorites that I found was 8tracks.

8tracks is a site where people can make up their own music mixes and share them with others. My favorite mix that I've come across is The List. Which is a mix for snoozing to. The creator of the list describes it perfectly, "It was the one which his 100's of seemingly perfect SleepPlaylists always hoped to be." The music is soothing and when the song switches to the next one they seem to flawlessly fit together. I've always been one to listen to music as I fall asleep but I could never find that perfect mix to relax me, well now I found it and I love it. 

A few other mixes I found I liked were:
Attention Deficit Order
What Happened Last Night
Messy Mix No. 02
Missin' You

This site is a great way to discover new music from all genres!

Blogging

When I was in high school. I used to write all the time. I'd write poems and stories and comics. But now that I'm out of high school and miles away from high school friends, I feel like I lost my imagination. My writing creativity has decreased and I am never happy with anything I write anymore.

This is about the 6th blog I've started. All my other blogs failed. I never liked what I wrote. I couldn't feel their meaning or importance. Or they just felt boring. Like my life is boring.

So instead of writing about my life. I will write about things that mean something to me that relate to my life, focus on certain topics.

Some of my ideas:

-Track my weight loss once a week.
-Write reviews for certain items I like. (i.e. derby products, crafts, movies, books, events)
-Track my progress in my fight to quite smoking
-Photography (something I used to love doing and want to start doing again)
-Promoting things
-Opinions on certain issues

These are just some ideas I have for a start. With these ideas I am hoping on making this blog more successful  than my previous blogs that have ended up in the grave yard.
