what's that you've got?

my new catch phrase. you like it? it's a stolen prototype. no realtime tests. but i really need to break my repetitive verbal habits: today was the second day this month that i told a customer to have a nice day before starting to ring them through. a surefire way to prevent a customer from actually having a good day? an encounter with a crazy person. both slowly and surely, i fear that i am losing my mind. pay attention. this is important. you are the first to know.

i'm aware of who's to blame. generally and as always. the natives. those natives! stealing slimquick and baby formula one day, causing a fight over cigarette legislation the next. the natives are wily and crafty and much more intelligent than their eighth-grade-equivalency educations would indicate. i am going crazy because the natives expect cashiers to be psychic and trying to anticipate bogus and continually shifting native social requirements is impossible. i am going crazy trying to be psychic. i am not psychic.

i am the second to know. also, natives are complicated robots (who eat a lot of kfc, and litter).
