I went shopping with my neighbor yesterday....

My neighbor and friend stopped by yesterday to see if I would like to go shopping with her. Shoot, my mother didn't raise no fool, I said "YES" and off we went. We always have fun when we go shopping together. As I say, "IF you can't have fun doing it, don't bother doing it". We went to a thrift shop and a couple of other stores, then went to a grocery store. They have a cute checker, and by then my pain pill had kicked in, and I was feeling good!!! We needed to get money orders, and he waited on both of us, and the lady at the customer service desk apologized for our having to wait. I promptly said that she didn't need to apologize because we got the CUTE checker. Of course, the gentleman started to turn red. The lady started to giggle, and I went on to say not only was he cute, but he had a nice butt. My friend was laughing out loud by then. We finished at the customer service desk and as we were leaving I heard the lady say to the gentleman cashier "I'm going back to the register, cutie." And I heard him laugh too. Well, my friend and I did our grocery shopping and got into line and somehow we managed to get into the customer service gentleman's line. My friend looked at the man and stated that we had to search and wait just to get into his line. The poor man started to turn pink. Then I interjected that he was always so cute when we came in the store, and he was really cute on that Tuesday. He was turning a wonderful shade of scarlet!!! He had checked me out first, and I was presented with a survey on the computer screen that I was paying for my groceries on. There was one question, "What can we do to improve our service for you?" My friend looked at me and said "You're not going to..." it was too late, I already stated that they needed to hire more cute checkers like the one I had. My friend figured I was finished, but then I asked the gentleman what he was doing that night. He looked at me, a brilliant shade of red, and said "Nothing, why?" And I replied that I was thinking about taking him home with me. About that time the store manager walked up, and seeing the checker so red, asked if there was any problem. My friend asked if they had any rule on the books for when a checker was about to be taken home by a customer. The manager, who knew me, laughed and said that there was no precedent and no rule, so I was more than welcome to take the man home... and we all had a good laugh. The manager looked at me and asked "You got your pain medication today, didn't you? It's great you're not in severe pain for a change. The checker excused himself for a moment and came over and gave me a huge hug and wished me a Happy Valentine's Day" to the astonishment of the customers and went back to work. We headed back home after that bit of fun, I was good for a couple more stops but we both decided that the work force wasn't ready for me. Have you had any fun the past few days????
