When I was younger, I hated going to the stores, knowing that I would have to interact with the clerk. Indeed, yesterday I went through the grocery store buying conservative things so that the clerk wouldn\’t judge me. Don\’t buy things that are too embarassing. Don\’t buy things that clearly indicate your intentions for the night.

To my surprise, the local Albertsons had installed four electronic self-checkout. I scanned my own items (but I had to ask for help because I didn\’t have the club card), placed everything in my own bags, paid by myself…whoa, it was a dream come true!

In other news, I have three relatives that recently got engaged. My cousin Jeff. My oldest cousin\’s two children. 21, 23, and 23 years of age. Congratulations to them of course. But here\’s comes the pressure to me. I am the oldest one now…that is unmarried (or maybe that honor goes to my cousin Matthew). Why marry so soon? Why must I find somebody so soon? What if I can never find the right person? What if… Ultimately though, it doesn\’t matter. Whatever makes me happy, right?

  1. The cliche thing to say would be… you\’re too young to be worrying about such things!!! But sadly, I have felt the same pressure and worry as well. Sniffy.

  2. NO REGRETS. Everyone pigs out once in a while, do you really expect the clerk at the store to care? On another note, we have had self-check out in my town for years, LOL.

  3. Hey there are some people who never pig out. I don\’t want to be judged by somebody I don\’t know. And the only reason I believe I may be judged is because I would judge them if I was a cashier. We can\’t help but judge because it\’s an easy way to amuse ourselves during mundane work hours.
