10 Requests From Your Cashier

If you have ever purchased anything from a store, please consider following requests from your local cashier. Trust me, they will actually appreciate it more than you know. Cashiers everywhere will thank you if you follow these. Consider it the Ten Commandments from those who have to work in retail, and as far as this cashier is concerned, you will be punished for not following these. Punishment will come in the form of broken eggs and no receipt.


1. As soon as you hear the loud, obnoxious beeping from the chip reader, you can take the card out. Please don’t finish your sentence first. Take your card out.


2. When you are purchasing an entire week’s worth of groceries, don’t also be on the phone. You shuffling around the bananas while telling your friend about your child’s accomplishments as you slowly put one item at a time on the conveyor belt slows me and the ten people behind you down.


3. Don't use the checkout line as time to parent your child. If your kid is crying about the toy you won’t buy them, lecture them after you pay.


4. Don’t put your money on the conveyor belt. It’s a pit of doom.


5. Every time you say “no, but thanks for asking” after I ask “did you want a rewards card” I want to scream I HAVE TOO ASK YOU AND EVERY OTHER PERSON THAT WALKS THROUGH THIS LINE.


6. Don’t ask me how my day is going if you are you going to scroll through your phone after you ask me.


7. When you loose your phone, don’t expect me to remember you or where you left it when you come in the store three hours later.


8. “Sorry I don’t want those” it's a lot easier than playing a game of hide and seek of random items across the entirety of the store


9. If you want me to bag your items nicely, consider placing them on the conveyor belt in the order you want them bagged rather than sending milk, eggs, and bleach next to one another.


10. Don’t use the phrase “I used to work in retail too, I know how it goes” as your excuse to do any of the above.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
