omg okay one day I was at work and it was pretty busy but
this lady wanted like 10 balloons, so I had to do them since well
I'd rather do them than register. anyway, this lady was so
friggin bizzare. she kept switching balloons on me when I finally
got the number she wanted. then she switched the amounts. then
she disappeared after they were done and I was like "that ho
better not have left these balloons here I swear to GOD." anyway,
she resurfaced after an hour. she was messing with the balloons.
so I went over to help. she was trying to decide how many
different balloon bouquets to make and which balloons to put in
which one. then she tried to tie them to bird pens (yknow the
fuzzy flamingo-like pens that have a bird feet cap with a suction
cup?) because "omg this is totally like a stork.. sooo cutee."
the, um, stork wouldn't hold the balloons down like she wanted,
so she disappeared yet again. eventually resurfaced with dolls
and a teether. she finally checks out, I had the balloon numbers
memorized at this point so ofc it was me who rang her up. then
she stays in line, whips out the dolls, and starts separating the
balloons how she wants them. the entire time making conversation
like "they just had another baby (mind you, I have no effing clue
who 'they' are.) the LAST thing I needed was another grandkid.
that makes 8. who needs that many kids? they should make it
illegal to have so many. start taking them away... so anyway I'm
getting a balloon bouquet for ____, she's my only true
grandchild. and a balloon bouquet for the other 2 girls." during
this time I'm just like "O.O!!" AND THEN she gets me to do that
finger thing while she ties 3 balloons around each of the 3
dolls. which is really awkward and I didn't even think that was a
real thing, just something in cartoons. now she is going on about
a couple in harrisburg who just had their kids taken away and how
they had like 10. and I'm thinking she's done. then boom, she
whips out the teether, opens the packaging, and gets me to tie
the singular balloon to it (well, she tied, I just used my
finger.) eventually she leaves me with this pile of trash to
clean up and she didn't even give me a review. GUYS, literally
from the time I blew up the balloons, til the time she left, 2hrs
had passed.
