Learning a New Thing

Sometimes I wonder about people.

Okay.

Most times I wonder about people.

Like, fo' serious.

Working retail makes it easier for me to study people, to watch them, and learn about them.

Some lady changed her infant's diaper in Marshalls. On the tables showcasing the carpets. Without a worry about who was watching. Or who would be browsing through carpets later.

Typical.

A man asked my opinion about an outfit he had picked out for his thirteen year old daughter, whom he had not seen in just over eight years. He nearly cried when he told me this would be the first time he'd held her or talked to her in nearly nine years. That must be difficult.

Touching.

Hordes of children (and their parents) honestly believe a toy department is an operating daycare. The treacherous little monsters throw more than the toys when their parents say no.

Jerks.

Employees will talk about anyone and anything. No one is exempt, and no one, apparently, has ever done anything good. Maybe they discuss only my good qualities.

Ha.

Whatev. At least I've learned something. People are people.

Later.
