You guys: barrettes are back and I’m here for it. In case you’re thinking to yourself, “Won’t I look like a 12-year-old?” Um…if only it were that easy to look younger. Also, I don’t know about you, but when I was 12, do you know what I was doing? Singing Spice Girls into a hairbrush. Do you know what I wasn’t doing? Paying bills. There are worse things than being 12, my friends. Embrace the barrettes, 90s babes!

Do you ever come across cashiers that seem like they hate you? Like, not just that they’re not super cheerful, but they look at you as if you just walked up and called them a cotton-headed ninnymuggins or something equally horrendous. I mean, I know I’m not the most likeable person (the dry humor’s not for everyone), but even I can’t offend someone within 15 seconds of meeting them.

I met one of those surly cashiers when I was buying this belt at Ann Taylor. She was quite annoyed that I didn’t want to purchase the one in the store that had a defect. Then I met another one at the grocery story last weekend. I’m not exaggerating when I say she threw my food in the bag. Good think I wasn’t buying eggs!

Anyway, I never really tattle or complain about grumpy cashiers, because those are pretty thankless jobs with low pay and you’re on your feet all day. There are plenty of reasons to be grumpy – maybe someone just told them about climate change. But sometimes I just can’t help but wonder if I’m putting out a bad vibe (or smell). You guys would tell me, right??
