\"pleaseThe line was\u00a0only two people deep\u00a0at the UPS Store the other day but it seemed to take forever!\u00a0 I had simply made four copies and wanted nothing more than to slap a dollar on the counter, holler “keep the change, no receipt, thank you” and walk out.\u00a0 Here in Austin, the service isn’t always at the speed of light because people take the time to say hello and ask about family (we’re convinced we’re a small town despite the continuing population boom).\u00a0 I felt validated in my hurry hurry attitude because I was on my way to mass and didn’t want to be late, so COME ON, MOVE IT!<\/p>\n

Regardless of my toe tapping, the last woman in front of me didn’t even notice the overly emphasized sighs as she put her chest on the counter.\u00a0 Yes, her chest- her very padded push up bra that was very stressed out to be a part of her wardrobe held her business up to the counter.\u00a0 I think she was trying to impress the 17 year old cashier (who wasn’t impressed with the cougar chick).\u00a0 After several more minutes of waiting, waiting, waiting, she finally cashed out.\u00a0 Hooray, this is it, I’m almost out of here!<\/p>\n

“Oh, and my husband is an EMT and I also sell jewelry- perfect for the upcoming holidays!”\u00a0 She offered a little high pitched giggle as she hoisted her over-stressed boulder holder up some more.\u00a0 “Cool.\u00a0 Okay, have a great day.”\u00a0 And then came the kicker that I had clenched Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
