A Conversation at Dollar General

I recently visited a Dollar General to buy some feminine products.  I entered the store, selected my purchase, and proceeded to the checkout line.  The checker was a woman who I'd guess to be in her 50s or 60s.  The following is a recount of our conversation:

Checker:  What, no chocolate?
Me:  No.  <laughs> (I laugh when I'm not sure what to say.)
Checker:  Last week everyone who came in here and bought that got chocolate too. 
                I remember those days.
                Good for you for not getting chocolate. 

The checker's comments didn't really bother me, but I did find it odd that she wanted to comment on such a purchase.  Some people might not appreciate that.  I was also wondering how much of the conversation the young-ish male checker sitting behind the counter on the floor had heard and what exactly he was thinking.  I'm not sure he was paying attention, though.  I suppose I should be glad that the checker was friendly.  I'd rather have her unsolicited comments anyday than have to deal with someone who is rude and acts as though they don't want to be there.

And so it begins....

As a person who feels the need to start her workday by reading several of her favorite blogs, I thought it would be fun to start my very own blog.  I am a single girl in her twenties working a full time job and learning about grown-up life.  I am an oldest child, an organizer, a procrastinator, and an avoider of confrontational situations (just to name a few things).  This blog is a place for me to share bits and pieces of my life.  I look forward to sharing with you!
