To Anyone That Cares

The Cashier at the Grocery Store

Yes, I know my groceries may have made me look fat, but I assure you they weren't for me. I was buying them for my friend whose boyfriend had just broken up with her, so the 3 cartons were necessary.

Even if you are a 20 something year old who thinks they are the greatest thing, that is no reason to ask me to "reconsider my grocery choice because I don't need the extra pounds".

Now, even two years later, I can't seem to forget your rude comment. And I know you probably went home and told all of your friends the sight you saw, but none of that matters now.

I hope that, sunset you're two years older, you've realized just how rude you were. And maybe you do remember me and every time you think back to me you cringe and so you've vowed to be nicer to everyone because you never know their situation.

But I know you've probably forgotten about me, and the truth is I can never forget about you. Maybe you'll read this, but that's a little far fetched, don't you think?
