gfrancieWhy is it that really butch lesbians have very girly names?
This one customer came in and she looked like the love child of Kd Lang and Roy Orbison (if such a thing is possible) and her name was Brittany.
Brittany!
What gives?
...
I feel like kicking people and saying "fuck you assholes". It has been quite a day at work.
My name is Gennie.
I've been robbed.
I've nabbed shoplifters.
I've found syringes in open garbage cans.
No I don't work at a 7-11, I work at a bookstore.
Tonight I found four medical syringes in an open garbage can...in the children's section.
Hey fuckwits, first you leave porn in there, now the syringes. I will hunt you down and I will beat you featureless!
Oh and that stupid stupid woman with her stupid stupid kid came in.
I will refer to this woman as "New Age Nola".
New Age Nola spends her time looking at books on astrology. She usually grabs a large pile and she stares for hours at them. Ignoring her child who we shall call "Destructo". Destructo will pull books down from everywhere. Talk loudly to anyone and take books from kids.
Her mother ignores this.
Many people have spoken with New Age Nola and she merely smiles and says, "okay.." She then returns to looking at books and ignoring her child.
Tonight she also left crumbs all over a table.
She had funyons with her astrology books.
So fuck off people. Fuck off.
Oh and I helped a very nice cross-dresser who has very nice hair is about 6'5 and has the voice of James Earl Jones.
She likes those Mitford books by Jan Karon.
I want more customers like her.
Oh for hilarious news. My evil twit boss had her baby yesterday. It was a boy she named him. *clears her throat so she can puke* Cooper Troy.
Yep...quite a name.
I predict he will be a gay son who is resentful of her and will avoid calling her and screens all of his calls.
We wish mother and child very well. Especially the child with a mother like that.
...
I have a day off tomorrow.
YAY!
I am going to buy a turkey.
YAY!
I feel a yen to eat large quantities of chocolate and watch bad television.

Date: 2003-11-19 08:52 pm (UTC)When we were at Nordstroms the first day of the half yearly sale, I was pushing Aidan in the stroller when from out of nowhere came a shoe flying at us that hit the stroller. I looked and underneath a display was the little shit who threw it. He had thrown every shoe off the display to various places. His mother was completely ignoring him as she tried on 983793789 billion pairs of shoes. Later he started throwing things at my 4 year old nephew. My sister intervened but the woman just told her son "oh come back here" and he continued to ignore her. Anyway I would have bitched at her something feirce if that shoe he chucked had hit Aidan.
I hope I never am oblivious to things like that with my kid.

Date: 2003-11-19 10:57 pm (UTC)We get so many people who can't be bothered to watch their own child. it is pathetic.
If the child had thrown a shoe at Aiden I would have loved to have seen you bitch out the lady.
Even better would have been to report the lady's actions to a concierge desk. "um...yes there is an unattended child who assaulted my child with a show." smile and watch the lady get the treatment.

Date: 2003-11-20 10:05 am (UTC)Of course they don't know any better because of their parents.
I have a serious problem with the parents who feel it is more important to go shopping then to pay attention to the fact that children have short attention spans, and many are tired.
It isn't as if they are going grocery shopping or picking up something they truly need. Most are just meandering.
Drives me nuts.

Date: 2003-11-19 11:02 pm (UTC)As for "Nola", i am sorry to hear you are still dealing with her and the child from hell, but feel lucky that i have yet to meet this child terror on the a.m. shift! Hugs.
And, hmm, funny that you were contemplating the baby's name, so was i. Sounds like a bad mystery author, or character's name. Altho' it could be either a strong masculine name for a lawyer or such, or yes, he may turn out to be a gay something or other. Lol! Hmm, but we alas, have to deal with another human being on this damn planet! We can hope he'll turn out to be a good kid! And atleast mom and child aren't like "Nola"!!!! Wishing them well!!
Chocolate, mmmm, yes, it's a chocolate kind of week!
Fairyblessings, a.k.
Re: bookstore psychos......
Date: 2003-11-20 10:07 am (UTC)Apparently she comes in the evenings. This is what Hattie has told me.
Someone mentioned that the name sounded like a character out of a Dean Koontz novel. I had to laugh.
I hope both of her boys turn into really good human beings who want to set aside money and do good things for people in the world. Partly because we don't need another bratty person about.
Oh boy is it ever a chocolate kind of week.
