The Man Behind The Curtain

I'm not sure why really, but I always feel it necessary to entertain, and make jokes while I'm in public. I suppose it's because I enjoy making people laugh, and help enjoy their day more. Sometimes you see someone ringing people up, and they look like their dog just died, and who enjoys seeing people like that? I figure I'm going to get this person and people around to smile, and jump start their day a bit. Some nuts are harder to crack than others, but typically I can get the job done. Sometimes though, people just don't want cheering up, or just have a awful sense of humor. Those people just aren't healthy for the world. Life is about enjoyment, happiness, and love. It's not about sulking, people depressed all the time, and hating life.

I'm not saying I don't get it, I mean sure it sucks working at some jobs. Customers come in, and have to bust your balls about an item that's marked down, but isn't ringing up right. As the worker you're just trying to get through the day without reaching over the counter, or karate chopping them in the throat. The worse customer of all are the ones having a phone conversation loud enough for the whole store to hear, while also trying to pay at the same time. These customers are a rare breed, and don't care about anyone else, or anything else going on around them. You see the cashier ask them the same question eight different times, but they can't comprehend it because there to busy yapping away on the phone. That's why I'm the customer that tries to entertain you, and make you laugh.

At the very least I'm usually the customer that will survive the quiet cashier that goes ballistic.
