Um, I just came in here to get some milk...



Tonight I had to run to the grocery store at 11 pm for milk. I got a few items and the store was basically vacant. I went to the checkout and the guy in front of me was just finishing his transaction when the bagger with her huge smile and ultra sweet voice says "have a great night" to which he replies "thank you, you too." Then she says "THANKS, I WILL!" It was REALLY loud and REALLY sappy. I immediately felt like throwing up. How can someone be so happy at 11 pm on a Friday night bagging groceries? So, it's my turn to check out and I get the usual "would you like paper or plastic?" Then, she proceeds to sing some song that sounded like a musical or something, REALLY loud! She had a nice voice, but that wasn't the point. I thought for sure rabbits, mice and birds would come out of the woodwork and crevices to help her bag my groceries. The cashier just ran everything through, but had a look like she was going to throw my milk at her! She asks if I want help out with my groceries and I hurriedly said "Nooooooooo, I'm okay, thank you." Then, she gives me the same exact farewell phrase. I wanted to say something to throw her off her game but, I was too tired so I said the same "thank you, you too" to which she responded with the same "THANKS, I WILL!" I hurried out as fast as I could to the peaceful refuge that was my car. It was literally like being in a Disney movie and she was singing for her one true love to come riding into the store on his white horse to rescue her from her bagger job. Who knows, I'm such a skeptic, maybe that's how it really works! (That's David Beckham on the white horse, by the way.)

Becks is muy delicioso. Ay, carumba!

And that bagger sounds like she belongs in Utah County. No offense, but I swear that's how people are down thataway. Weird.

Maybe the bagger is neglected at home and was looking for attention....or maybe she just likes attention. How annoying.
I love the picture.

Were you at Peterson's? No, that kind of cheesyness dosen't happen there, the customer service lady would never allow it.

Yesssssssssss, I was at Petersons. I think customer service lady was off the clock. Maybe that's what happens when the cats away! The weird thing is that I rarely go to Petersons. I usually head to Albertsons because I don't have to cross the street, etc. Anyway, for some reason I drove to Petersons instead. Weird!

People like that make me want to throw up! Is she hoping to try out for the cast at Disneyland?
