Dear Shoppers,

As the holiday season approaches, you will soon be shopping everywhere and anywhere, looking for the perfect gifts for family, a warm winter coat, and home décor to get into the holiday spirit. While employees try to make sure your shopping experience is the best, please know we are also human and like to not be stuck at work all day. So please be cautious about the following:

1. Throwing Clothes Over The Racks

Giphy

It is okay to put the size L coat in the size S section, but do not throw it on the rack along with 7 other jackets and leave the hangers on the floor. I cannot tell if you're throwing them over the rack to practice your baseball pitch or if it is hard to use the hanger again.

2. Throwing Clothes On The Floor

Giphy

I still do not get how it is possible to walk away after letting 10 shirts fall on to the ground all at once, and you should know that I see you kicking the clothes under the rack trying to "hide" the mess.

3. Leaving the Fitting Room a Mess

Giphy

Just do not leave the clothes on the floor, that is all.

4. Ripping Open a Box and Putting the Contents Somewhere Else

Giphy

I know everything looks like it is wrapped like a Christmas present, but it is not meant to be ripped like one. I know we are all curious as to what is inside, but please do not rip the packages open and then throw the product to the side, leaving only an empty box. I cry a little inside.

5. Getting Mad When There Are No Coupons 

Giphy

Believe me sis, if I had a coupon to offer you, I would offer it! We want you to save! But we cannot force a 40% off coupon to magically appear!

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.
