Stealing .... your dignity?

My phone rang, well vibrated, it was work, and I know what that means, I'm coming in early.  I was so excited.  I saturate myself in as many hours as I can.  I get ready, get a pick 5, and get to work early.  So after awhile of me ringing, Lindz mentioned something about a girl in pink stealing something and putting it in her purse.  I immediately switched my attention to finding this girl, and conveniently she was in my line.  I looked over, saw her rather unattractive, Louis Vouitton purse unzipped and their bright as a sunny day the pink and grey-ish buffalo checker shirt she had oh-so maliciously & secretively (Not really though) stolen.  Fail, I saw it. I eyed down that shirt and my eyes rose up, and stared her dead in the face, then continued to sternly, and with a bold loud voice (so she could hear me obviously) say into my head set, "I see her and the shirt", yeah no fucking way bitch.  Her little idiotic friends decide to scramble about putting all the things back that they took and they scurry out the store, she followed and let my line, with the shirt, and she then left.  But the rent-a-cops got her and someone from the Moorestown police department came.

Okay, so why did I explain all that?  Well not only was it a rather extraordinary event and rare scene in my life but it bothered me.  I don't know what this says about my job and I, but regardless of where I'm working, I hate dealing with idiots. If your going to steal, don't let anyone see it.  I'm not exactly supporting stealing but I'm also not supporting committing a crime in the worst way.  They deserve to get caught, just like anyone does when they make it obvious.  It also bothered me that I didn't say something.  I know my company is really iffy about approaching shop lifters and what not.  Plus I could feel my adrenaline rising immensely fast and I know if I said anything, I would have blew my kettle.  I don't know, can't say I've never stolen a thing before, maybe nothing like a $40 shirt, but it bothered, maybe I've grown up? I'm not sure, it's such a debatable topic.  This shows how awful the economy is, more crime, no one has money to afford anything, and everyone always wants new things, mine as well steal it right? Or maybe I just hate it when shit gets stolen and then at work we get bitched at for it and we lose money and that's less to the day and that means less hours.

Being at work makes me really not like people.  I do honestly spill my guts to how I feel about people and their stupidity.  For example: There was a promotion, Buy ONE get ONE HALF OFF,  all CLEARANCE items. Yes, there's the most simplest and descriptive statement about the promotion.  So I had a woman come up to my line and almost every one of her items were new. I figured cool more money for us, but at the same time I had a feeling something was coming up, no one buys all new stuff after the holidays.  I ring her up like any normally bundle f things and give her the total.

"WHAT?! Isn't everything bogo???"

"No, the sale is BUY ONE GET ONE HALF OFF CLEARANCE "

"That's not what the girls said at the door"

I then proceed to ask  over the headset, addressing to the two coworkers up front, Marielle and Erin, the woman's issue and I asked what they said.  One didn't even say anything and the other said the correct promotion.  

"No, they did not say that, you just heard what you wanted to hear"

"No, That's what they said!"

"No, you have selected hearing and heard BUY ONE GET ONE HALF OFF, not the CLEARANCE part because you didn't want to"

and she sighed and paid. 

I was being honest in the most calm way possible, but sometimes the truth hurts, deal with it.

I'm really hoping I don't have school tomorrow.  Not that I can't sleep in normally on Monday's nor do I ever do anyway, but I'd have a WHOLE free day, so it'd be like a 4-day weekend.  This semester is hard, I don't know why.  

Part of me wants to believe the news on their theory that it is going to snow here in South Jersey about 6-10", part of me thinks it is a load of shit.  But it seemed like the sky was having a case of flurry diarrhea I'll listen to my own personal philosophy and believe when I see it.

I had the most awful dream last night.  My brother died.  I can't remember how, it was something tragic though and I remember bawling my eyes out because everything I saw reminded me of him.  It was terrible and I wanted it to end.  I've never had the strongest most personal relationship with my brother and I feel like this dream proved that even though we don't have that kind of relationship, I still really care about the kid. 

At work, one of my co-workers, Ali, was telling me about how she's been to at least 11 countries and all these crazy trips and it really made me feel like I haven't experienced enough traveling. I mean I know I'm only 19.. in 2 months, but I just feel that I don't know what is suppose to happen in the future, and I like to take advantage of every moment I can.  So I began a new ambition, to save to travel.  Even if it is for a week, I'll drink as much black tea my kidneys and bladder can handle and stay up to everything.  But Matt's mom even said to me how she regrets not traveling as much as she should have when she had the chance.  I'll take her pseudo advice.  

Speaking of Matt, he needs to get here to try the amazing Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter milk shake I made!!!!
