Dear patron,

We workers don’t always want to be here. We almost never want to know your life story at the cash register. The customer is not always right. No matter how much you think you are. We aren’t always happy, we are human, things happen that annoy us and sometimes it could actually be you.

As cashiers or stock people, I don’t know why you think we make up the prices but news flash: we don’t. We don’t make the prices ‘outrageous’ and we don’t make them ‘a great deal’ either. We just ring out your purchases. We just put up the products. We don’t try to get annoyed with you but sometimes, people make it way too easy.

We are also human. Please treat us that way, I am sorry that you might have called and been told one thing and come in the store and it be different, but it wasn’t me on the phone so don’t act like it. I don’t know how to work the phone. I accidentally hang up on people and then I get yelled at more when the person I hung up on calls back.

Please just treat us like human beings. We make mistakes, we have attitudes, we have personalities and comments that you may not agree with. But just because we are stuck behind our nametag and company name, does not mean that you are always right and can yell at us for not providing the upmost convenience to you.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but it’s not always about you.

Sincerely,

The employee you just yelled at who just really wants to go home.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
