Oldies from my Favorite Job

[BaristaGirl]

Back in the day, a long time ago, when the earth was green and I was but a wee lass, I worked my first job at... Wait for it, wait for it... Hot Topic. Don't make fun! It was the funnest job ever! I could wear anything, dance, do whatever as long as I got my work done. ^.^ It -rocked.-

I have two very memorable stories from this time period. Not terribly sucky, more funny than anything, in retrospect. Come with me on this trip down memory lane...

Happy Holidays.
A father and his son were Christmas shopping, the father being guided towards what the son wanted by his son and myself. A couple cool t-shirts, some pants, and they're up at the cash register, and ready to go. They turn to leave, and as we're saying goodbye, I pipe up with, "Happy Holidays!"
The father places both hands on my arms and replied whole-heartedly, "I know you have to say that to be politically correct and all, but I say, put the CHRIST back in Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
And I reply with a big smile and "I'm Jewish!"

For the record: It's not a lie, I'm ethnically Jewish and I was raised Jewish. But I wasn't about to blurt out "I'M ATHEIST!" to an apparently devout Christian. I do have a reasonable amount of class, you see. ^.^

Even Happier Holidays.
Everybody? Let's get this straight right now. I have huge breasts. Even at that time, I had huge breasts. Do I need to repeat it, or are you guys good? This becomes important later! There WILL be a test!

Anyway, I'm standing at the entrance to the store, when all of the sudden I see a little boy walking along in the mall, bouncing a bouncey ball. I'm wearing a low-cut tank top. And guess where the bouncey ball lands? Why, yes, it landed a perfect 10, directly in my cleavage. I pluck it out and look at it, confused for a moment, and as I'm wondering how to handle this, the boy's father plucks the ball from my hand and says "This belongs to us!" Before continuing on his way. I stand there for another couple of seconds before I find myself able to call after them, "You're WELCOME," and return to the safe, bouncey-ball-molestation-free chambers of my place of employment.

To this day, it is still a WTF? moment for me. XD

I cannot believe this guy would put his hands on you like that. Who the hell does he think he is?

Let me see....you have large breasts. Do I pass the test. I'm a big fan of those by the way. Now having said that, I wonder if that boy's father would have said the same thing and tried to retrieve the ball from the cozy place in your cleavage. Probably not, but you never know.

Let me be this first to say, "This post is worthless without pics."

Thank you. That is all.

Dude, relax she said he plucked the ball from her HAND, not from her boobs :P

[donruss]

Sorry, I didnt make it clear the 1st part of my post was in reference to the 1st part of hers. It had nothing to do with the breasts in question. Pics would be nice tho.

Actually, had the (young?) boy not been along, I'm sure he would have. When I was 18, I had a guy go down my (rather small) cleavage after something. He damn near lost his hand!

I wouldn't dream of making fun of your working at Hot Topic. I love that store! (And I'm serious, not being sarcastic.)

And why would telling that guy that you were and atheist be classless? If someone did that to me, I would have no problem with saying, "Sir/Ma'am, I'm a druid."

Seconded. And yes, Hot Topic is a very fun place to visit every so often.

[Saydrah]

I wish a fun person like you worked at my nearest Hot Topic. The one and only time I went in there, there was a creepy religious dude working and he scolded me for my pentacle necklace. A Jewish/Atheist chick with huge breasts would be far superior!

i try not to get to freaky about the "happy holidays" stuff

im pagan actually, normally i will say happy holidays, but if i notice the person wearing something spacific to their religon i will say happy "what ever holiday you celebrate" most of them just smile at me and wonder how i knew they were what ever religon, most of the time i just point to my head and say im psychic, (i do this alot since most of the time people dont realize that i hear just about everything or notice most of everything that goes on, whos car belongs to whos, what type of item they are looking for with out knowing their vehcile ect) it usually gets a nice smile or a laugh.

as for the big boobs thing, i do entirely sympathize since i am also large breasted (currently 36F) i have had quite a few boob stories in my time, my fave would have had to be when i was working in drug and alcohol rehab.

my mother decided it would be a "GOOD" idea to buy me a shirt that snaps down the front, well i of course kind of scolded her about it and decided not to wear it unless i had to since i really needed clothes at the time. so the day came that i had nothing else to wear other than that shirt and i was not able to do laundry since i didnt have the $$ till the next day, i had to wear it.

so one of my clients needed to go down to our food bank area (we had all kinds of food and clothes for people who needed them all year round donated by several people including clients who were better off than others) so i go down there to help him go through the food and help him box it up and bring it to his car (he was handicapped) when it happend...

my shirt got caught on a box and bam, all the snaps (except for the last one of course) busted open as i turned to face him.

of course he just stands there and looks at me as if he had just hit the lotto, i unphased turn around and button it back up. he says after a few mins, well i want you to know i wont say anything about this, im an older guy so this kind of stuff doesnt get to me as much as it use too, you know that the other guys would probably just eat this up and tell everyone about it, but you definatly made my week (we had put his wife in custody for some reason so he was kind of bummed)

i never wore that shirt to work again. its at the good will now lol.

And not just about the ones attached to your chest!

[TheKit10666]

I am a Christian, but I feel it is silly to get so freaked out about it. It is one thing to say you want to put Christ into Christmas due to rampant commercialism, but you can hardly say that when you just threw down money so your kid will like you. Just something to think about.

[queenbb]

i know a few christians who cant stand the commercialisim and refuse to buy gifts because it takes away from the religous aspect of the holiday.

[GolfCart34]

I don't say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" to anybody unless they say it to me first. I just say a non-committal "Have a good day" to send customers off. Personally, I don't feel comfortable just assuming what everybody celebrated.

The only person who I will say "Merry Christmas" to is the dude who's a for-hire Santa. He came in on Friday totally dressed up in his Santa outfit. He's super nice.

[BaristaGirl]

I stick with Happy Holidays for everybody. Because it's easier than having to distinguish. Seriously? Let me wish you well and continue on your merry way, there, pops. XD

I'm glad my breasts have become such a hit. Sorry about not sending pics, haha!
