In the worst ways

10 Ways to be a Memorable Retail Customer

1. Hand an employee a list and wait for them to find everything for you while you wait by the door.

Just because we get paid minimum wage doesn't mean we don't qualify as a personal shopper!

2. Choose your own path on how to get in line.

The signs are there as a distraction—you do you! Even if it means shoving past a small child!

3. Hide your Starbucks cups in the back of display shelves.

It’s so much easier than throwing them in the trashcan a yard away. Plus, nobody will ever find them if you do it well enough.

4. If you decide not to purchase your items, leave your cart in the middle of the aisle.

They'll put themselves back. They told us so.

5. Ask the manager if you can speak to the manager.

Maybe they'll forget their role and go get someone else.

6. If your item doesn't ring up at the register, ask if it's free.

Ha! We've never heard that one before!

7. Upset about the cost of an item? Yell at an employee about it.

We are the ones who set the prices after all.

8. If you can't afford an item, just walk out of the store with it.

It's totally fine, all of the cameras are fake anyway.


9. Pull on the locked door after close not once, but seven times.

Don't even bother reading our hours which are right next to the handle you're wrangling.

10. And please shop for a small village right before close.

Because we get it--this isn't something you could have handled tomorrow or at the 24 hour store down the block.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
