In the worst ways

10 Ways to be a Memorable Retail Customer

1. Hand an employee a list and wait for them to find everything for you while you wait by the door.

Just because we get paid minimum wage doesn't mean we don't qualify as a personal shopper!

2. Choose your own path on how to get in line.

The signs are there as a distraction—you do you! Even if it means shoving past a small child!

3. Hide your Starbucks cups in the back of display shelves.

It’s so much easier than throwing them in the trashcan a yard away. Plus, nobody will ever find them if you do it well enough.

4. If you decide not to purchase your items, leave your cart in the middle of the aisle.

They'll put themselves back. They told us so.

5. Ask the manager if you can speak to the manager.

Maybe they'll forget their role and go get someone else.

6. If your item doesn't ring up at the register, ask if it's free.

Ha! We've never heard that one before!

7. Upset about the cost of an item? Yell at an employee about it.

We are the ones who set the prices after all.

8. If you can't afford an item, just walk out of the store with it.

It's totally fine, all of the cameras are fake anyway.


9. Pull on the locked door after close not once, but seven times.

Don't even bother reading our hours which are right next to the handle you're wrangling.

10. And please shop for a small village right before close.

Because we get it--this isn't something you could have handled tomorrow or at the 24 hour store down the block.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
