Stand out moments of the week!

I have had some pretty memorable moments this last week. So I felt the need to write about them.....

I'm ringing up a male guest who is probably in his late 40s and he leans in and asks "How old are you?" I reply that I am 22. He says "wow you don't look 22, you look really young for your age." I reply "Thanks, I get that alot." He says "well its a good thing. When you're older you'll want to look younger and you're a beautiful girl." I proceed with a few mumbles and hurrying to finish the transaction so he will go away......BUT then he comes back like an hour later and he's like oh its me again. I didn't recognize him until I finished up and he's like "thanks babe." EWWWW.

One of my managers is hilarious and one day I come into work and she's telling this story that I felt compelled to repeat. So she's at Barnes and Noble and she's near the front door and a lady comes in and see's someone working there and goes "I almost just got ran over by a mercedes....I need a book." I wish you all could hear the way she tell this story though because it was so funny and all night we would just be say random things and then be like "I need a book."

Conversation with guest in his mid 40s (again with the sick men)
Me "so what are you up to this evening?"
Guest "Why? Are you asking me out? I'm a little old for you, you know?"
Me "Nervous giggle...umm yeah true..."

Oh and another conversation with a guest in his 40s, yuck!
So I'm finished ringing up this lady and shes taking her time to get out of the way I call for the next guest. Well theres a guy who kind looks hesitant to come up and he looks over at Jenny (again lady i work with who was fixing something at the time) and then he looks at me and finally comes up to me...so I say (in a joking tone of course) "you didn't look like you want me to help you. Are you discriminating against me? (with a big smile) and he says "No never, not with a girl as beautiful as you."

Ok seriously enough with the sicko 40 somethings hitting on me. This never happens with guys my age....

Oh and because I brought up Jenny....She is awesome. She's a full timer who works nights and so tonight I found out that she didn't know what rock, paper, scissors is and so I taught her and we practiced. Good times!

And my last favorite story of the week.... We have the guy who is called "The Egg Man" come around to all the different resort and he sells his hand painted eggs. They are wooden decorative eggs. He is a super dull person and so everytime a guest would come up to him he would say "All of the eggs are handpainted by me and they are unbreakable so feel free to touch them." After hearing this about a thousand times tonight I turned to Jenny and I'm like "ya know, I just want to grab one of those eggs and throw it on the floor just to see if its really unbreakable." We all cheeered when the Egg Man packed up tonight because it was time for him to move on.

The saddest part of my life is that I cant get good hot chocolate. I became really addicted to Stephen's brand last year, but thats only in the west. They only have Swiss Miss out here. Lame. I drove around trying to find a Starbucks, but I couldn't find out. It reminded me of a time in high school when my friend Ali and I decided we want to try Starbucks hot chocolate for the first time. It was like there were five thousand Starbucks we always passed by, but this one night we could not find one. I gave up and went to Walmart.

And I think the word we are looking for is...anyway....
