Alex from target

Work 2

When he got to his register he made sure everything was in its place ready for the day.
He thought about how his boss had just acted when he came in late.
In the middle of his thoughts he was interrupted by a customer.
"Hello" she said trying to wake him out of his day dream.
"Sorry" he said quickly "did you find everything alright?"
"Yes" the woman said as Alex scanned the first item.
A Yankee Candle in the scent of cinnamon.
Alex could not think of a reason why he was focussing on what this woman was buying.
"Macaroni" Alex accidentally slightly said out loud.
"Huh" the woman said staring at Alex.
"Oh nothing" Alex said.
He looked down and continued scanning items.
The woman that he had just embarrassed himself to had blond hair with light brown highlights and her eyes where a pretty shade of green.
Why was Alex taking note on this? He had no idea.
He scanned the last item.
They where yellow fuzzy socks with pink lining on them.
"Have a nice day" Alex said to the woman.
"Thank you" she said as she walked out the sliding doors.
The day went very slow.
Customer after customer after customer.
He felt like he had scanned a million items by the time work was almost over.
He looked at his digital watch.
It said 5:50pm.
Alex was let off work at 6pm.
He sighed in relief.
One last customer came.
This one was buying a gallon of milk, 10 bars of chocolate, and a ballon.
He thought about how it was the weirdest combination.
While Alex took his time scanning the chocolate bars the customer was on their phone.
As he scanned the chocolate bars he put them all in the corner of his workspace planning to put them all in the bag when he was done.
Alex scanned the last chocolate bar then pulled out the receipt and reached his other hand to grab the chocolate. The customer looked up from their phone.
"Cute" she tried to say in her head.
"What" Alex said as he handed her the receipt and the chocolate.
"Nothing" the customer said as she took her bag and walked out the door.
It was finally 6pm.
Alex walked to the break room and got his keys and his wallet .
He headed out the sliding doors.
As soon as Alex got home he went straight to bed.
