YOU GOT ME! I'LL BE WITH YOU FOREVER 2

I remember now! Those girls' names. Joselyn and Roberta.

Joselyn is the kind of girl that likes to appear to be concerned and nice. The only time she would talk to me is when she needed something.

"Oh Lilla Could you be a dear and get me that item off the top shelf?" I thought to myself -you can reach this. Get it yourself! But being the good customer associate I am I did what she asked. Without an attitude, I might add.

"You're a darling! Thank you ever so much. How are you today?" she asked in a perfunctory way.

She always seemed so distracted when she asked people about themselves. Not in the least bit interested in my response. I bit my tongue for I really wanted to say - Why? As if you care!  No, I stayed quiet as a church mouse. I could say I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown and my life is in shambles and her reply to me would be-"Oh, I'm so glad to hear that."

As far as needing me to get her item, I often wondered why she did that. She could perfectly well get it herself. So, I gave her two nicknames-Control Freak Joselyn and Little Fish Roberta because Joselyn thought she is so entitled, so snobby," I rule the world because I'm so damn pretty" kind of girl. I figured one day; it would all kind of hit her square on her pretty little nose that she was not the only beautiful girl in the world. So, I stuck with Control freak Joselyn.

I thought it was strange that Control freak Joselyn would be friendly with Roberta. Don't get me wrong, Roberta had her own brand of beauty. She had a natural, subtle, graceful demeanor. CF Joselyn was a IN YOUR FACE, glitzy, ain't I SEXY kind of girl. A real wannabe PORNO QUEEN! They are so different. As I stood in the corner watching them talk, I wanted to warn Roberta about the bad influence CFJ would be on her kind and pleasant state of being. Joselyn hung out with all the losers. She claimed they were the IN Crowd. Not to me. More like criminals and deviants. 

I wanted so badly to jump in the middle of their conversation and tell Roberta that talking to Joselyn was like drinking rat poison. Please don't get involved! I WANTED TO so bad but I'm not Roberta's mom so I really had no right to tell her who she could spend her time with. I knew no good would come of it.  Instinctively, knew something bad was about to transpire but who am I? Just a girl who doesn't trust Joselyn and her crew of bandits!

DING DING!! - Register One is now open! The intercom blared

Lilla, can you go to Register One?

Of course!

Oh, here comes Mr. Hogan and Mr. Shea. Two hooligans if you ask me! Those two are the worst. Dressed in their three-piece suits, trying their best to look legit. How are you gentleman today? I asked in a polite way. making casual conversation. 

"Doing quite well." 

" OH, are you on your lunch break? Please forgive but I have forgotten where you two told me you worked."

They turned to each other as though they needed to get their stories straight. Quite nervously, Mr. H said, "We do sales". 

In my mind, those two were nothing but partners in crime. A bunch of CON ARTISTS.

"Oh really...  Where did you say you worked? "

Oh, I'm sorry. Don't have time for chit chat. We have to be going. Time is money you know!"

Oh, you mean... SCAMMING PEOPLE TAKES TIME.

Hmm, I don't like those fellows. I don't like them at tal!

"I'm opened at this register." I exclaimed to the next customer in line.
