What you see riding a scooter around Walmart
Well, I found out it only takes 5 days to reach page two in the blogs. Lots of bloggers, that's good news, more stress and venting being released by members. More journals being kept too.
Another phase of my life I now notice is my lack of fashions knowledge. I can think back to about 1962 when the mustang and mini skirts came out. The bell bottom pants and plat form shoes, then the micro mini skirts and short shorts in years gone by.
These days it's the underwear showing, men and women especially. The thongs, see thru clothing, hip hugger clothes worn with what looks like a lace baby doll top you'd wear to bed at night.
Anyway, I'm a greeter at the entryway, so I see them coming and going all day/night long from a waist high view on my scooter. The hotter the weather, the less they wear. I feel like a buyer sitting at the cat walk of a fashion show.
Coming in I see rings in ears, nose, around the eyes, tongue, lips, breast nipples, every finger, naval and some in crotches showing and rings on their toes with flip flops worn. Tattoos everywhere, big and small.
Then as I ride around the store getting to the restroom or time clock way in the back of the store, I see the rear ends almost bare, thongs, more Tattoos on tail bones and one on each cheek showing. It's no shame in their game.
Before the pools closed they came in the store wearing swim suits and see thru wraps. From my level of view it was like not wearing any clothes at all. I could see it ALL, trust me. Management said as long as they had clothes on see thru or not, and not nude, they can come in the store.
I guess there are many things we don't pay attention to until it stares us in the face. I think I see about as much as a GYN doctor on any given day. It's not just little people, the big ones and their kids too. You should see the clothes these parents let their young daughters wear in the store. Some as young as 10 with high heels, rings, Tattoos, and skimpy clothes like mom. My, my how times and clothes has changed from when I was young.
Still another area you can't help but notice is the number of people over weight as the news media has been broadcasting lately. Maybe it's just our life styles and eating habits for unhealthy foods. After all that's what got me where I was then according to the doctors. I'm happy to say I've lost back to my acceptable weight, but still on cholesterol pills. It's very hard to give up my BBQ ribs and soul food that I've eaten all my life.
A bacon cheeseburger, large fries, 2 apple pies and a diet coke just won't get the weight off very fast. Long as we have fast food chains, not enough time to eat healthy meals, heart problems and strokes will continue to be big killers for many people in this world. Even those who eat healthy, cancer seem to overtake them.
Well bloggers, that's just some of what I face each day doing my job. A birds eye view of the people who contribute to my salary every other week. What can I say? The view is legal and a part of my job. :scooter:
