I had a job interview today that went really well. I hope I get the job. But more importantly, I went to CVS on my way home to get some make up, lotion, and felt stickers. (the usual) They didn't have anyone working the check out so everyone was forced to use the self check out lane. Self check out lanes blow. You stand in front of the computer and this lady welcomes you to CVS - duh, I've been here for hours and I'm finally ready to leave. She commands you to scan your item. After waving it in front of the laser beam 30 times before it registers, she forces you to 'put your item into the plastic bag'. (what if don't want to use plastic bags - what then?) So, to not make a scene, I 'put my item into the plastic bag'. Once you 'put your item into the plastic bag', the scale attached to where the bags are kept acknowledges the change in the weight of the bag. Which may have seemed like a genius idea to the geniuses who came up with this genius machine, except for it doesn't consider items that weigh less than 17 pounds because they don't weigh enough to effect the scale. For example, I bought some eye shadow and 'put my item into the plastic bag'. Then the lady said 'put your item into the plastic bag'. And I said 'I did put my item into the plastic bag'. This went on for about 12 minutes until I figured out how to get past this minor dilemma and started 'slamming my items into the plastic bag.' Worst CVS ever.
Then this lovely black woman who worked at the front desk at this business building I happened to walk into complimented me on the scarves I was wearing. She said 'That's fancy girl'. And I said 'Well, I'm pretty fancy'.
And I'm pretty sure I said the word 'gianormous' during my interview.
