Yes, people ARE that stupid // 08.24.02
Is it so wrong that I think this is just hysterical? I'm gonna build a whole layout around this picture. Screw Pete man, it's all about the wig...
 So, yeah. Yesterday work was interesting. So interesting the cops had to shut it down. Well... not literally, but there was a police presence so I'm not totally lying. Kay, I went on my dinner break at 6:30 and on the way into the stockroom I saw this woman looking around, carrying a paint stick with a thin coat of orangy paint* and sporting a whopping shiner that covered half of the left side of her face. Ok, so she fell... on someone's fist. I'm not gonna stare. I came back out to the floor at 7 and there was another customer that came up to me and Susan the manager asking for help. Once we'd answered her question she told us that Black Eyed Susan had two kids sitting in the car- a five year old who kept getting in and out of the car and running around the parking lot and an infant in a car seat. Wha-huh? Susan and I kinda looked at each other, dumbfounded. She ended up calling the police and they got to the store just before 8** as the woman was buying all the crap she'd amassed on the counter. He told her very nonchalantly that he "needed to have a word" with her when she was done. He took her outside and they were out there for a good 15-20 minutes. This story is very anti-climactic because the cop never came back inside. He just took off. Susan was irritated because, well, she's a girl and girls love gossip!*** The lady did order some curtains, so Susan said she's gonna call her up and ask her what the cop said to her. sigh... just like being back in high school. *Possibly from the Martha Stewart collection of home furnishings in Tangerine Chiffon, but I'm not positive.
**Efficient, eh? That's Racine County for ya. Oh, and that's over an hour and a half the woman spent in the store for those of you keeping score at home.
***I'm gonna get my ass kicked by some feminists for that one.
