What I Have Witnessed As A Cashier This Summer
https://www.theodysseyonline.com

To celebrate my last week as a cashier for now until winter break, here are five strange and bad things I have witnessed this summer while working the register:

1. People Yelling At Me For Asking For Their Stop And Shop Card


Part of my job is to ask you for your card right away...

2. Someone Told My Boss That I Talked Too Much


That's part of my job: making small talk with customers. I'm sorry that I got carried away that one time...

3. Trash Bag Lady


This lady wore trash bags on both legs and had them on her arms. She has OCD big time. However, when a customer came in line behind her, Trash Bag Lady said to the man, "It's going to be a while, I'm a pain in the neck, but hey, you're probably married so you already know what a pain in the neck a woman can be like." So, when it came time to pay, the lady took her Windex that I just scanned in and started spraying it, and took Lysol to it too. The customer behind me said after she left, "She's bordering on strange."

4. Lady With A Big Order But Small Cart

This lady came into my line, and my bagger bagged all of her groceries and just left two up on the counter because the items were fragile. She turns to me and mutters, "What does he expect me to do? Put them in the cart myself? I only have two hands." I think you're very capable of putting two bags into the cart yourself, lady. This woman also complained about how the chip is stupid when I told her to take her card out again, due to a system glitch the registers are having.

5. The Lady Who Doesn't Expect Herself To Bag Her Groceries


Ummmm, who do you think you are? The Queen of England? Get over yourself and pack your food into bags please. You won't break a nail. I promise.

Even though I witness strange and rude people, I still consider my job as a cashier a very fun one. But these people I come across at Stop and Shop end up being great stories to tell my friends and families. There's never a boring day working as a cashier.

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:
