i was at my shift at the boutique on walnut st today it was exactly 2:43pm because i looked at the analog clock on the wall above the dressing rooms twice within ten seconds and this woman walks in wearing a pair of those $900 balenciaga loafers and carrying a leather tote that probably costs more than my entire masters degree tuition for the next two semesters combined. she had this return and three coupons that expired on the 14th of last month which i explained very quietly while keeping my hands flat on the counter and focusing on the 4 tiny scratches near the register screen.
