End of the Road

Last day of work in this hell hole! In honor of mother's day, I give you this gem.

If this doesn't make you a tad uncomfortable I don't know what will. I mean, Cinderella's glass slipper is kind of romantic. But this is for your mom? It makes my eye twitch!

Ok, well signing over and out!

Lovely Coconuts!

I get the cat, I can even get the pink chair.. but the fuzz? What is the point?

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts!

You've got a lovely bunch of coconuts!

The funny thing is, we have a bunch of new employees, most of them elderly. 

They put this away in the kids toy section!! 

I'd have loved to see the mom's face when her kid came up with THIS toy!

Ukrainian Style

"40 minutes of musical enjoyment Ukrainian style"

These are some pretty insulting salt and pepper shakers. 

And considering they only have on hole each, pretty useless.

I don't even get these. Turkey and plate salt and pepper shaker. Incredibly awkward to use.

Just odd. That's all, just odd.

After you go through "the pause" I'm guessing you might need this giant remote as your vision will deteriorate. 

Things We Should Not Wear

Some whore shoes came in, with matching leather shorts. I missed grabbing a picture of the shorts darn it! But here is a pair of shoes one should not wear, nor allow their friends to wear. And if your friend comes out wearing these, send her back to change because these might cause you to be arrested for hooking..

Here is another outfit that should not be worn. I call this "hoochie mama". We threw this out as I'm pretty sure the crotchel region could never be sanitary on this thing.

I call this "whips and chains excite me" - I think if your husband pisses you off at a party, and you decided to take these shoes off and chuck them at his head, you might actually do some damage. The chains on these sandals are actually very heavy.

Friends wouldn't let you wear these shoes and outfits, but they also wouldn't stitch this for you.

End of the Line

Well I gave my notice today. Two more weeks!

To celebrate here's a kitten!

Furry Baby

I've heard of water babies but fur babies? I.. wait... what? Speechless.

Some nice Canadian exercise pants for men.

The ever popular bird-cat salt and pepper shakers... purchased five minutes later.

Pray 4 Me

Giant light up Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.

Actually kind of cool.. super heavy, fairly old. I kind of like 'em.

Well. Chinese silk. Priced at 24.99 though I suggested waiting for the boss.. turns out these things sell for 149.99 on ebay. The center panel rotates!

No Words Part Deux

 W.T.F.

My Age = 12

So the chunk of wood sold. And the stuffed rocking horse. In fact, most of the stuff sells. Disturbing.

Ok, so in other news.. Dick. Hahahahahahahahah. 

Yes I am a 12 year old laughing at a boy named Dick.

Yes, yes, clown, lets have JOKES! CRAZY SCARY JOKES?

Why do people insist clowns are fun?

Fog Swamp. Living with Swans in the Wilderness.

Seriously, first the name of the book - it does not make me think of swans. Second of all, how fascinating! Simply fascinating! A book about living with swans.

I'll take a pass on this one..

No Words.

W.T.F.

Faces

My sister pointed out there was a face in this picture. I thought she meant the tennis ball (which I have never noticed before) but then she sent me the picture below.

Which made me giggle a little.

It kind of reminds me of a cat with a pope hat.

Awkward

Pretty sure this is for batting fish to death, but I still didn't want to touch it. 

I mean, who sat down and decided this was a good design? I can just picture catching a fish and pulling this bad boy out and having my friends avoid looking at me. Awkward. 

Pointless Crap

Pointless crap. Not cute, not funny. Ugly as sin.

1954 Edition **Pictorial** Medical Guide

Some Store Stories...

A few weeks ago a gentleman came into the store and bought around five giant stuffed animals. He dumped them on the counter and gave me a knowing look.
"I bet you think these are for my girlfriend" he says to me.
I look back knowingly at him and reply "You're taking these out to shoot, aren't you?"

Like I was born yesterday...

****

An elderly woman came into the store wearing super tight leggings - with giant faces of cats on them. I wish I could have taken a photo. On a side note, don't go onto Google and look up "cat leggings" - shudder!

****

Look moms...  I know you want to shop, but when you bring your kids in the store, we aren't babysitter's, nor is the toy area the "Play Area" as I overhead the other day.
It's not OK to leave your kids there for an hour destroying everything and dumping things and games all over the floor. And I KNOW you can hear me asking your kids to not touch these things, or open the puzzle box and yet you pretend it's not happening.
So I stand in the middle of the aisle until your kids scatter.

Then I find them one aisle over from you, under the clothing rack kicking the clothing from behind while you ignore them. And when I again ask them to stop and I pick up all the clothing, THEN you choose to come over and tell them "if you don't behave I won't take you to McDonald's"

Right.

On the other hand, there is the daycare workers that make sure the kids clean up the mess.
Or the mom, who I suspect is a foster mom who is kind and patient with her kids, but when they act up she takes them out to the truck until they behave.
Or the tall lady that comes in almost every day and her small daughter who may be 3 or 4 asks for permission to touch things.

Good parenting vs bad parenting.

I Dunno

I dunno.

I do know. And it's wrong. So wrong.

 Let's end with a little mood music to take us off the horror of the previous pictures, shall we?

Birthin' Books

Where else do you birth from?

Flashback! Alf Goes Wild. 

Why am I picturing an inappropriate party book, with Alf partying with Girls Gone Wild?

Cherry Bliss and Bondage

Guest shot from a friend Jo who works for a chain second hand store.... bondage gear! Wonder if they will put it out on the floor? Speaking of floors, I had a lady ask if we had furniture for sale. I replied "All the furniture is out on the floor" while gesturing to the area right in front of us... she then asked what the floor was. <blink, blink>
And speaking of inappropriate donations, we had this little case that was put out.. one of our customers informed us it was actually something to do with pot and when he opened it up to show us, it REEKED of pot.

For the "bigger" man, blessed in the crotchel region. 

Cherry Bliss is what I call this outfit. Lace up cherry covered pants with matching bikini top. Bought for 19.99 ten minutes after we put it out. No accounting for taste.

I Love Bacon

Rehab girl came in yesterday. She was fired about a month ago and this is her first time back in the store (that I know of anyway)
She bought a bunch of clothing and one giant weight. She carried it around the store instead of bringing it to the front counter. When she paid she asked me to bag it so it would be easier to carry.

<blink blink>

Because putting it in a bag makes it magically lighter?

Monkey's Will Fly Out of My Butt.

Clowns are not cute. Ever. EVER.

What's with the 5 o'clock shadow on this one? Here kids, I bought you this sad clown doll with 5 o'clock shadow to show you how much I love you. Enjoy!

Let's all gallop off Into the Land of the Unicorns! 

It's a magical place where everyone wears bells and fairies fly! 

Yep, a pillow with a money's butt. Enough said.
