I was asked to work yesterday at a store that I hadn’t worked before. It took an hour to drive there, so I left the house pretty early. I really wanted to dress in an awesome costume, but reasoned that the smock that I have to wear to work would cover up the best parts of the costume, so I just wore a blue shirt and khaki pants and told everyone that I was dressed up like a Wal-Mart employee! And I wasn’t sure how many other employees would dress up at that pharmacy, so I wanted to go “low key.”
Well, that did get a few chuckles. There was a really great costume worn by one of the ladies that worked on the floor of the store – she dressed up like Cleopatra! I told her that I thought it was wonderful! During the course of the day there were a lot of customers that came in dressed in costume – most of them were vampires. One woman came dressed as Batwoman, and that was a great costume!
One guy came in that I wasn’t sure if he was in a costume, or if it was his regular attire! I was afraid to ask! He had pretty crazy buckwheat hair going on there!
One poor vampire guy came to the pharmacy counter to ask for a recommendation on how to reattach one of his vampire teeth that had fallen off! Had to feel sorry for the guy! He ended up buying some denture adhesive! I wonder if it worked, and I wonder if he managed to get the tooth back off again if it DID work!
