The List Goes On. (Do's and Don'ts #2)

#6.  CONTROL YOUR FREAKING CHILDREN!  Usually I lead in with an intro but this just needs to be said, point blank.  Letting your children run around without supervision, destroying everything within sight like a freaking tornado... not exactly polite.  If you tell your children not to do something and threaten consequences, I suggest following through.  If not, your children will grow up with the mentality that everyone is as much of a pushover as you and do their own thing. Besides..... if one more child runs around my store knocking over the bottles that have been so meticulously straightened and perfectly aligned with the edges of the shelves, or goes around banging on our windows because someones mother didn't enforce her command to "get inside, now"... I'm going to burst and turn into a zombie.  Aaaaaand that's not really great for clientèle.

#7.  There's a line between controlling and abusing.  Actually not just a line, a gap.  A Grand Canyon of difference.  An ocean. You get my point.  But your children watch you to see how they should behave as they grow.  If you're going to treat your child like a pest, a nasty zit on your face, a gross, unlovable freak, you don't deserve them.  Your little girl or little boy is a gift from God and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't deserve the joy of parenthood.  You were once that "annoying" little girl or boy.  You were once that small and helpless and you were obviously given a chance... Don't be retarded.

#8.  Sorry those last two were so serious, the next few will be more humorous. I hope.  Starting with ... creepers....  If you're 25+ there is no WAY you should be flirting with me.  Especially while RETURNING things you'd bought, hopped up on crack.  (Just a side note.... who returns single pairs of gloves...?? They're like 30 cents.... do you really owe your drug dealer that much?....okok that was kinda judgmental....but still...)  You're 40.... I'm 18..... does anyone else see a problem with this?? And if you're going to flirt, at least make it interesting instead of trying to sound all seductive and creepy when asking common sense questions about our merchandise... sigh.... I'm not sure why older men think its so great to pretend to be attractive young guys and flirt with girls who obviously are not and will never be interested...seriously, how often does that stuff actually work??  Some day I really am going to get the nerve to just pull the Jenna Marbles face. :O and just sit there till they leave.... It'll work... haha

yeah this is pretty much 100% accurate......

Anyway.... I'm gettin up at 5:25...aka No-Good-God-Fearing-Child-Should-Ever-Be-Awake-This-Early O'clock.

Night night :)
