Evil Kitty

Dapper Dan. I should have taken a better photo of this guy. What's not very clear in this photo is that he has googly eyes and his nose is a long ... well I don't know. I guess it's meant to be a hook?

This is a very very special kitty plate. It's 3D. It's a fuzzy 3D cat under glass on a plate. Did someone make this? Buy it? I'm not sure but if you move from side to side, the eyes kind of follow you. Evil kitty eyes following you where ever you go. What ever you do.

Some Light Reading From The 80's

You know I really wanted to giggle and laugh at this book, but the author is actually Canadian, and from BC. She's got a couple books out with good reviews. So yah, I'm not going to make any fun of it all, except to giggle at 1980's fashion.. cause that's always ok to laugh at.

Love this kid.

 I wonder if this is for kids that are addicted to Frozen?

Nazi Kitty

I guess some people see a cute little kitten, maybe named "Fluffy", sweet and loving.

I see a member of the third reich.

Love Notes...

A coworker found this in the store and shared it with me. She's the only worker that knows of this blog so she saves me the best stuff. 

If you can't read this it says;

Dear Chris,

You are so cute I could kiss you tell I am dead.

PLEASE TRY TO FIND ME!

Love your seceret girlfriend 

(I may not be your girlfriend but you are my boyfriend)

... seriously, this kind of creeps me out. I don't want to die from being kissed, can't we just be friends?

Polyester Power

This snazzy toddler outfit was donated today. Made of 100% polyester! With this outfit your child will be the bell of the ball. 

Just beware of letting your child to close to open flames. 

Baby Dented Head came into the store as well. She's actually pretty sweet looking but with the cold air outside, her head dent didn't want to leave. We thought we've have to "file" her (isn't that a horrible term for throwing something in the garbage?) but oddly enough a family was in the store and the daughter wanted her. I guess looks don't always matter.

These Are The Days Of Our Lives...

Today's episode includes the co-worker that cut her wrist trying to collapse a box with an knife. I had to rush her to ER. Pretty sure she was drinking at lunch as she likes to cover it up with perfume and chewing gum. Pretty sure I need a new job because the store is trying to kill us.


We also had these lovelies donated. I washed my hands after dumping them in the garbage.
Then I used antibacterial gel. Can't be to careful. Good thing we don't have a black light!

Awkward Discipline

Today a new employee passed out at work and was taken away by ambulance only to come back a few hours later to get her purse and ... buy a top?? Whaaatttt? Priorities I guess!

I also was putting things away and found these two in my hands at the same time. I'm pretty sure there would be tears~

Randoms Clips

The lady that paid me after pulling the money from her bra. Shudder.

Kids begging mom for toys - The boy says to his mom "I NEED this!" I overheard the sister say to the brother "don't get your hopes up" - how true is that!

The pre-teen boy so gentle with his toddler brother, helping him pick a toy.

The guy that came in with a black eye, that his now ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend had given him trying to get into their apartment.. all his stuff was in there. In the meantime he had no money and was wanting a free t-shirt. We gave him a coat, hat, gloves and a t-shirt :)

Things To Make Using Children

Today's gems:

Unfortunately it was stained with coffee so it had to be thrown out. I can picture putting this with your children's books for them to find. In the middle of the night. On a stormy night. Alone. 

Speaking of scary books.. I'll just leave this here...

Free To Be Me

Every month a certain color price tag is free.
This means at the beginning of the month many many ladies come in and spend hours in the store combing for free stuff. Doesn't matter what, if it's free, they want it.
Free scrubs? Don't work in a hospital? Doesn't matter! Random kitchen gadgets? Yep. Kids clothing? Yep. Pet stuff? Yep. Underwear? Sure!
Some of them are taking three giant garbage bags home.
Personally I think they are reselling but hey, it's free and we get it out of the store.

Knit Picking

So a totally normal woman came into the store. Yes I have to specify normal looking.

She came up to the cash counter with two knitting needles. Now we get lots of knitting needles in, some in pairs, lots are single.
So I charge her 25 cents each, because that's the price. I mean, have you looked at the price of knitting needles? They aren't that cheap! At 25 cents each, it's a steal! So it came to 57 cents with tax. And yes, she proceeded to complain that knitting needles came in pairs so it should be 25 cents for two.

Ugh. Well guess what lady, if I suddenly change it to 50 cents a pair, the next person will be in complaining that she has to buy two when she needs only one needle.
Can't win.

Clown Horror

So this horror came into the store. 

"I want your soul"

My horror became worse when I realized there was a baby.

"Hi, we're here for your firstborn child"

Driving Me Karazeee

Two weeks ago a woman came into the store. She wanted to apply for a position and I let her know she could drop off a resume on Saturday when the boss was in the store. We chatted a bit while she shopped near the till. She explained to me that she lived a block away and so walking to work would be easy as she didn't drive. At all. Never been behind the wheel.
I explained to her I had only recently started driving myself.
Later on, when she was at the checkout, and I was packing up numerous bags, I asked her if she'd be OK with the bags... you know, as she's walking home in the snow.
That's when she tells me it was OK, she had the car today.

Blink, blink.
Um ok.
