on the way home from college i stopped at walmart hoping to get a strategy guide for a game i had recently bought. upon getting there i realized i didnt have enough money for said guide.($1 short!)
so i was disappointed. i walked back the front of the store and was struck by an idea. i decided i would casually walk past the cosmetics and see if there were a lot of people around. when i did i noticed the entire section was deserted.
so i swallowed my pride and gathered all my courage and went in.
ok thats a lie. i actually went to the shampoo isle. i was looking at head and shoulders when i decided it was safe enough to venture to the next isle over. wich contained mostly eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick.
i had pretty much already had my mind made up on what to get. i wanted Loriel lash explosion mascara and maybellene line stiletto liquid eyeliner. my plan was set and i knew exactly where to look from previous trips with my mom and sister. i knew i wouldnt have to be there for very long.
well i was wrong. they didnt have to mascara i wanted. so i frantically searched for something similar. after what seemed like an eternity i settled on maybellene lash stiletto, wich is the mascara counterpart of the eyeliner i wanted.
i then realized i didnt have enough money to get both the mascara and liquid eyeliner. so i searched for a simply eyeliner pencil. that too seemed like it took forever. eventually i found them and grabbed the first black one i saw.
i quickly made my way to the registers. thank god there was a self checkout open. i really wasnt ready to deal with a cashier yet.
so i went to checkout and rung up my items and i accidentally rang up the mascara twice. thinking it wasnt a big deal i hit the cancel item button and kept going. apparently it was a big deal. an employee came over and started punching in passwords and stuff. no idea why that was necessary but i wasnt about to make a scene.
after getting everything straightened out, i realized i had no cash. all i had was $10 in quarters. putting $8.86 into a machine using only quarters would take forever and i didnt want to be there any longer than i had to so i went up the attendant and asked for a ten dollar bill.
then she goes to punching in more passwords and printing receipts and all kinds of other stuff. she brings the receipt to her counter and looks at it. she gets this weird look on her face. at that moment i thought i busted. i thought i would wind up being so embaressed that i would just have to walk out and leave without the makeup.
luckily she didnt make a big deal about and i give her the quarters and she gives me my change.
i then walked out of the store and back to my car.
at that moment i felt as though i had really accomplished something. i overcame my fear and actually bought something girly in the store. i was shaking with excitement.
after i got home i tried on my new cosmetics and i thought they looked great. ten minutes later, my mom calls. she wants to go eat lunch with me and my sister.
so i had to take off my mascara and eyeliner almost immediately after spending 25 minutes putting it on as perfectly as my shaky hands would let me.
that was disappointing, but i was still excited about having finally went shopping. even if it was two very small items that wouldnt be noticed easily.
(sorry for such a long drug out post.)
