May. 26th, 2001 04:26 amI'm absolutely exhausted, but I had a great time tonight. First off, I worked from 2pm to 10pm. I was bored out of my mind due to the lack of customers, but luckily I got taken off my register to block. For those of you who haven't been forced to work in a grocery store, blocking is where you make sure all the products face the same direction, and you pull up products from the back to fill in any gaps. Anyway, I got to block HBA (Health and Beauty Aids, ie shampoo, soap, etc) and Jello. Yes, Jello. I had to straighten up 15 million little square boxes. But I'm good at blocking, so I got it all done before I went home at 10pm. At 11pm Penguin, a bagger I've worked with for several years, and his friend Crow picked me up and took me to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Unfortunately we had a very small crowd tonight, but it was still fun yelling at the movie and throwing shit at the other audience members. After the show we went over to Denny's for a late late dinner. I had the mozerella sticks, which were pretty tasty. I was surprised at how full the Denny's was at 3am, but Crow said that was normal. Now by this time I was getting pretty tired and wanted to go home, but Penguin and Crow decide that they want to go to a porn shop, so I said what the hell. I'd never actually been inside a porn store before, so it was a very interesting experience. Their assortment of vibrators and dildos was quite impressive, though I didn't really care for the video selection. The best part, IMO, were the non-porn merchandise. They had some ancient videos and books for sale that no one in their right mind (well, at least not someone in a porn store) would want to buy. The two that stood out the most for me were a Popeye video, and some generic Snow White cartoon. However, the funniest merchandise was the bibles. I almost died when I saw the bibles sitting next to the do-it-yourself stalker kits they were hawking. Penguin asked the clerk if they were hollowed out or anything, but he said that no, the bibles were the real thing. After checking out the porn store for 15-20 minutes we finally got bored and left. No, we didn't buy anything. After that they finally dropped me off here at home. They had invited me to come back to Penguin's place and drink with them, but I don't drink so I declined. All in all it was a great evening.
