It's not the end of the world.
In fact, I'm excited.
The store is nice, clean, respectful, and everyone in there is super friendly.
The dirty magazines are behind book shelves. The only way you can find anything raunchy is if you're looking.
The dirty toys are upstairs in an alcove. If anything, the products out in the open resemble that of Spencer's Gifts. Lot's of bachlorette party things.
It's not a shady place, the part of town is not a bad one, and there is security on hand.
It pays more than my current job. I get better hours. I wont have to deal with snobby people on the phone or little children running a-muck in the store.
I am excited. My mom is excited for me.
So WHY can't other people understand this is JUST a cashier job. I am NOT being put out on the street to sell my body or something ridiculous. It is a well established business. They have guidelines about how people act and dress and do business. There is not room where people are getting lap dances or snorting cocaine. It is just a shop. I am just a cashier.
Lighten up.
I do not drink.
I do not smoke.
I'm not having sex.
I don't party.
I'll be going to school AND working full time.
I graduated with a 4.14 GPA.
I don't lie to my mom.
I am trustworthy and I have morals.
So, we're not the family that goes to church every Sunday and eats family dinners and participates in youth group. But, we are supportive, we are loving, and I am fine.
So please, save your judgment until you talk to me and get to know me.
Seriously ... how many girls do you know with bright pink hair, 15 piercings, 3 tattoos, and works at an adult store who doesn't party, drink/smoke, or have sex.
Actually, if you got to know someone, you'd probably be surprised. No one in there is an obnoxious STD ridden 'slut'. It is well established and not flashy.
That's fine that people have initial reactions of 'WHAT?!' It's going to happen, I've accepted that, and it's cool. But, to get upset about it and not even talk to me ... that's not cool. I will gladly explain myself if you will gladly listen.
I love talking. Especially about myself! hah.
At least my mom's in my corner.
Talk to me first, judge after.
