“Bye auntie I’ll see you Sunday!” I yell out as I disappear through the front door. As I approach my car I hear my aunt call out: “Bye Tanya, drive safe!” Today is my eighteenth birthday. What better way for a new adult to celebrate her new adulthood than drive up the coast for the weekend with my best friends? I can’t think of one. I position myself in the driver’s seat, strap in, and head off on my way to Cherry’s house. As I’m humming along to some 1985, my gas light clicks on and beeps, denoting I’m low on gas. I sigh. “Sorry Cher, looks like I’ll be a little late” I say to myself as I turn off of the street I was following and turn into a gas station to my right. Parking on pump 6, I exit the car and enter the little convenient store …show more content…
I decide to try to tune out my annoyance by turning up Yes Girl by Bea Miller, blasting it through my ears and whipping it around in the California wind, just like my brown hair. I turn in sharply on the next gas station, only this time I’m not the only one here. On pump 8 sits an olive green Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. My mouth drops. I must find the owner of said Jeep while I’m here. This car makes my black Lexus Coup look like crap. As I’m approaching this gas station’s convenience store, I see a man and the person behind the counter in deep conflict. I tenaciously step in and mutter a lousy “excuse me” The men stop arguing and turn their attention to me. The first man I spotted’s face lightens. “Hi there, if you’re looking for gas you’re out of luck!” Before I can comment, the man behind the counter jumps in “Hey man I told you last week it ain’t my fault! I’ve been waiting for my shipment and there’s been nothing!’ “So you’re out of gas too?” I ask in clarification “Yep. Have been for the last 2 weeks unfortunately. But it ain’t just me, a lot of gas stations around here are running out.” He says, sighing and stepping out from behind the
Our prime example of such a clerk was the girl behind the counter at the café outside Gate Two, where delectable Double Decker Ice Cream Cones were sold every afternoon. […] ‘Whaddayawant?’ she snarled out of the edges of her mouth to the people ahead of us who naturally wanted Double Decker Ice Cream Cones too. ‘Shut up and wait your turn. I’ll get to you when I’m good and ready!’ (Bowman Reid, 68)
The classic Australian prison drama series should be pinning its fifth season right now. However, Wentworth season 5 is not moving along as planned. Around this time, the shooting of the film should already be starting. But it seems that the studio and the network are standing still.
Robert: Sir, could you please stop screaming at my little brother. I was the one who pushed the wheelchair (Kevin tried to tell the customer that he was the one who hit him, but Robert pointed at him to stop). I am sorry, I did not notice myself hitting your feet. I sincerely apologize for ruining your happy mood today.
I just got off the plane. YAY! There she is. It’s Aunt Lindsay. “I’m so happy to see you!”I exclaimed. “I’m so happy to see you too.Are you ready to go?”Aunt Lindsay Beamed. “Of course!”I answered.Now that we have picked up Baby Brooks and
This birthday had been wonderful. My friend Emily and I hiked up to a place called Griffith Observatory. I had heard that the view was amazing and you could see all of LA. I walked to a artsy concrete staircase where you could see the lively and bustling city in the background. From our point of view, the skyscraper buildings looked tiny and ant sized. The golden crisp sun had slightly set behind us and caused the sky to shift deep colors throughout the city. When the cotton candy like clouds drifted across the electric baby blue sky, I felt an overwhelming rush of pure happiness. The condensed and shrubby bushes in front of us were a shamrock green color, and looked as if they were full of life. I knew
See you later grandmama. (Travis waves goodbye to Mama) Ruth: Walter if you don’t get out that bathroom and eat your eggs your going to be late for work again! Mama: ( Walter starts to come out the bathroom)
Alexis, the cashier, did not have a hello greeting for the customer. She looked up at the customer smiled and asked for the Ingles Advantage Card. She did work effectively to remove the products to get them scanned. The bagger wore a name tag that said Service Clerk. He was a Caucasian male, five feet, ten inches tall, about twenty three years old with short brown hair. He wore a dark polo shirt, khaki pants and an apron. He separated food and non-food items and doubled bagged the larger, heavy items. I never saw this bagger say anything to the customer or look at the customer. He bagged the products, put them in a cart and pushed the cart to the end of the checkout. Alexis smiled and said thank you to the customer as she gave them the
“We can’t keep waitin’ on you to come when you please! You’re a mess, a slob in fact!”
Bet that clerk doesn’t think there ain’t nothing wrong with us holding up his shop.

The drive to tennessee was too long. I don’t enjoy sitting in our sedan squeezed between my two younger siblings for 8 whole hours. As we enter the downtown area, my mother asks me to give her directions to aunt Jane’s house off of our map.
“Bye mommy and daddy, I love you!” said little Charlotte. Right before they left, she ran up to the door and gave them both a big hug. They returned the hug, squeezing her tightly, before walking out into the garage and starting the car. Charlotte looked out the window, watching her parents pull out of the driveway. Little did she know that she would never see her dearest parents ever again.
“APPLES GET DOWN HERE LET’S GO!” Lollipop screamed from the ground, I quickly ran down the branches of my tree to meet her. Lollipop had led me to a place, but I didn't know where because she said it was a surprise for me, and by the way today… I turned 16! It’s cool, I know. I’m sort of exhausted from helping all these people though, but hopefully today will make up for it. The worst part of my day was that my own boyfriend forgot my birthday. A few hours later we were still
I finally turned sixteen years old. January 8, 2015, was the day that I had waited for my entire life. I had hoped to have a Gatsby party of some sort that crossed with a princess theme. I visualized myself in a sparkling champagne-colored dress, with the slightest hint of pink. To adorn my head would be a tiara, and on my body would be a sash naming me the birthday girl. At this grand party, with all of my friends and family there, I would receive the best present I could imagine— a Land Rover. Unfortunately, that day never came.
I wanted to bring something up to your attention and maybe if you’re already away of the situation then just get informed and educated on it. I work in Downtown Phoenix, AZ and on my way home I occasionally stop at a Circle K store on Van Buren and 17th Avenue. Tuesday night 6/30/2015 I visited the store and found a man in his 20s working the register I believe his name started with an “R”. While in line a gentleman came in and began to place his backpack on the counter. Your employee working the register stated very loudly “the other one too” referring to the other bag in his possession. In my opinion it was very polite or professional at all and to be honest a bit belittling and embarrassing. The gentleman complied which in
