Today, during my shift at Target, This Man decided that to occupy my time during slow periods I would create a list. On this list would be certain things, that I would have to count and see how many customers who came through my checkout lane would either have among their purchases or be doing. I was also to keep a going count and finally tally it all up at the end of my shift. Today, I worked from 4:30 pm until 10 o'clock however the tally went from 5 o'clock until closing time.
Since This Man worked the express lane today and it was a Thursday, the crowd was sparse and I was able to make time to do this. Out of a total of 213 customers between 5 and 10 pm, here are the 12 things that were on my list:
1. # people who purchased Father's Day cards: 13
2. # of people who actually paid for their purchases by writing a check: 3
3. # of people who had screaming children with them: 2
4. # of screaming children heard throughout the store during my shift: 12
5. # of people who bought Father's Day gifts minus the card: 2
6. # of men worth flirting with: 6
7. # of men who actually flirted with This Man: 2
8. # of people who came through the 10 items or less line with more than
10 items: 19
9. # of people who actually paid for their purchases with either a Target Visa
or a Target store card: 5
10. # of people who bought the new Coldplay X and Y CD: 5
11. # of people who bought the new Black Eyed Peas Monkey Business CD: 2
12. # of people who bought Coldplay's X and Y and Black Eyed Peas'
Monkey Business together: 2
See this is the result of what happens when This Man has entirely too much free time on his hands.
