Men X Monsters

“If you can’t change it, decorate it.” Me- Your total is $45.93 Customer- It’s always the same with you men, always want more money. Me nodding in agreement- That’s fair. Money would solve 90% of all my problems. The last 10% is my personality and there isn’t enough money in the world to fix that.  Customer appraises me with a critical well-to-do mother-in-law eye, smiles and says- You take whatever that 10 is and you run with it. Take it from a much older woman. If you cant change it, decorate it.”  I thanked her for her advice.  Talking with my coworker later about it. It occurs to me what if i was a sociopath or serial killer and that was what put me over the edge. what an origin story that would be.
