all my receipts have her name on them ('your cashier was...') even though there are aways like twenty clerks there at any given time. she is beautiful and perfect in every way. should i talk to her? does that ever work? and since i know you egotists just want to talk about yourselves, who are the wonderful people that you see practically every day and are in love with but never talk to? and what have you ever done to resolve it?

are you TRYING to ruin my thread?!

― ethan, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was in love with a blockbuster video check out girl for 2-3 years. I have her name, employee number, birthday, sexual orientation, high school, and college down, and I know she took an economics course. She likes to go raving and smokes lots of cigarettes. I have never spoken to her as anything but a customer. The resolution to this story is she is a lesbian and I am interested in another girl now.

this thread is like some kind of ILE Kinds In The Hall sketch

― Wyndham Earl, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like this thread a great deal.

― Maria, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i always got crushes on supermkt checkout gurls. no of course i never done anything about it. except hang out in supermarkets a bunch.

― duane, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had a crush on one of the men who worked at record store a few years ago. But I never said anything.

― rosemary, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh man, people who work in record shops, that's so lame.

― duane, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

record store girls vs supermarket girls FITE

i prefer supermarket girls but they're generally a bit young for me

― electric sound of jim, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

well fuckin' just about everyone's too young for me really, that's true.

― duane, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This cute girl at Hollywood video once let me have my movie for free. It was very odd.

― bnw, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I showed up at the Sainsbury's with flowers and an envelope marked 'Trainee Cashier'. What a unique and beautiful name, I thought, it sounds kind of French. Just to make sure she'd get the flowers I decided to hang around until closing time, which was sort of stupid as it's a 24-hour Sainsbury's and it's right down the road from the Angel police station

― dave q, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i still havent asked the barrsita boy

― anthony, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

well, theres the saramago girl on the tube, right?

theres also a quite cute girl who works (worked?) in virgin records on tottenham court road with black bobbed hair, she may be swedish and i have seen her around in camden sometimes (must be swedish then eh?)

― gareth, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I walked into the music store where I used to work today and found my old job is now occupied by a dark-haired woman who = ROWR but probably doesn't like the same music as me *sob*.I will go back again too.

― Damian, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A girl in Camden with black-bobbed hair! Blimey there can't be many of those around.

This has never happened to me. And having worked in retail it now could never, either.

And - Lixi to thread!

― Tom, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I fancy the girl that works behind the bar in the Kitchen nightclub here. I have talked to her though and sort of know her now as a result of me asking her hyper-politely for water with my jaw grinding heavily. How charming and suave!

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ETHAN! I think you should say something to her. I know, cliche, cliche, He who hesitates is lost! I used to be very shy and reserved, and for the most part I still am, but through the years I have learned by missed oppurtunities, if you don't say something then you will never know what could have been. I don't hesitate to talk to a person I'm interested in anymore whether it be romantically or otherwise, most of the time, and most of the time I don't regret it, quite the opposite. All you have to lose is a little pride, that heals quick. I say go for it!

― Hank, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeah Ethan, just go and talk to her! (as it's the sort of thing I never do, and if I find out it works out for someone else, I might just give it a go!)

― jel, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ethan you need to never talk to her because life is hard and you will never be happy so don't get your hopes up.

Sorry I thought there was too much good advice being given, I wanted to tip the balance a bit.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Girls who work in record or comic shops. Word.

― jel, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, but Jackie, who worked at local cool record shop Noise Noise Noise, got hit on *all the time* without fail -- which might sound flattering, but the fact that she had a boyfriend was carefully ignored in most instances, so she was getting deeply tired of it all.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*you sunk my battleship* :)

― jel, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Girls at Hollywood Video give out *everything* for free

― Mandee, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ethan, talk to her. it works.

― nancy b., Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hi Ethan :) GO FOR IT! Talk to the lady!

― Gale Deslongchamps, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i hope you all realize i am not going to talk to this girl ever, 1) it would spoil the illusion and 2) i'm just getting over 'heartbreak' ick right now so i'm a bit down and therefore romanticizing everything and of course 3) IT WOULD SPOIL THE ILLUSION.

― ethan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

USE YOUR ILLUSION ethan

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Do not let these starry-eyed fools mislead you, Ethan.

― Josh, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thank you josh, i have not. faraway muses are underrated i think.

― ethan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTER The most boys I got having crushes on me was when I worked in a fastfood place and had to wear a name badge with an Indian name because I never got a proper one and I think boys thought I seemed exotic. No you will never escape from this place, boys, not that way at least! Boys who had crushes on me when I worked in a bookstore were far superior. In the fastfood place, it was always 'pretty eyes, pretty eyes', it became like this kind of meaningless wallpaper, direct approach, lots of drunks. In the bookshop it was doomed intellectuals, seriously devoted to you, fewer in number and greater in deformities. I mean my main two boys in the bookshop, I trusted them and still do; one of them was this boy who looked like he'd been to Steiner school and was overprotected, I say that because he'd read (interesting things) all day and sometimes his mother would come in, a gray-haired pre-hippy who'd obviously had him at an advanced age, and she was his only friend, but they had an actual friendship, albeit a child-crushing one. The other one was a gentle schizophrenic who'd been a minor poet in the 70s, but probably the only good one in this place, and wore cricket clothes. Fast food boys in a fast food place; but those bookshop hanging-out boys should have worked behind the counter themselves to find out that there's no difference between the handling of books and food to the cashier!

― slop, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh yeah gurls in BOOKSHOPS, that's different. i was in love w/ a gurl in a bkshop & i stood there for hours reading shit & it ended up i actually got with her & everything! she'd come up & go can i help you? & shit...she told me later "I actually thought you were retarded or something".

― duane, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

just because she works in a bookshop it doesn't mean she's as good as a book

― slop, Monday, 28 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thank you wyclef.

― Ronan, Monday, 28 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

fuck off maryann.

― duane, Monday, 28 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can eat 400 hazelnuts between lunch and dinner. Even more if I didn't have to shell them.

― maryann, Monday, 28 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you guys are all wierd stalkers. thank god i don't work in a store.

the girl with brown hair in waterstones on oxford street is quite nice

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:15 (twenty-three years ago)

hahah! DO YOU SEE? "looks matter" theorem proved!!

― Denise Lambert, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I once had a little crush on a young cook that worked in a local chinese take-out place. Every time I would come in he'd smile at me really big, but he didn't speak any English. He had silky black hair that fell in front of his eyes... *sigh*

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

more and more fuel to my fire!

― Denise Lambert, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:24 (twenty-three years ago)

eh? i never disagreed with you that looks matter

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:28 (twenty-three years ago)

i never said you did. my "you" was directed at those who did. it was a general "you." the youness was pluralistic.

― Denise Lambert, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

she is cute though!

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

but she works in waterstones, ergo gets paid shit wages, thus not worth bothering with.

― Denise Lambert, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:40 (twenty-three years ago)

This trolling just depresses me, fucking grow up would you?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:44 (twenty-three years ago)

this on a thread called "grocery store checkout girl, i love you."

HA!

― Denise Lambert, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Why are you pretending to be happy?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 15:42 (twenty-three years ago)

and if you are going to ask her out, you should firstly obtain a copy of her credit record from experian to ensure that she has no defaults, CCJs or missed payments which could have potentially catastrophic conseequences for you were you to consider cohabitation. but no bills will be paid, or even half paid, on a waterstones wage. i would recommend dropping by deutsche bank, just off threadneedle street, for a more economically sound partner option.

― Denise Lambert, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 15:47 (twenty-three years ago)

do you think i should? it could make up for missing out on the saramago opportunity

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 15:49 (twenty-three years ago)

hmmm, i'd say so. northbound on the piccadilly from king's x? hornsey more likely than not. to be avoided at all costs. very un-creditworthy.

they're all dido fans in the city, so be careful.

― Denise Lambert, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Dave q, I've been to that very Sainsburys (my sister lives a couple of blocks away) but saw no attractive cashiers, hence you are lying. Of course, it was three hours before closing on Christmas Eve, all I could see were old ladies shoving me into the potato chip aisle.

I fell in love with a grocery store check-out girl, but I worked in produce and had no interaction with her because nobody talked to anybody who wasn't in their department. It was then that I began to associate the taste of half-priced moldy chocolate with sexual frustration.

i've just realised that i have a huge crush on the girl who works in the place that i buy sandwiches on weekends. who thinks i should ask her out tomorrow?

I think I'm developing my first ever uber-weird obsession with someone I barely know at work. I'm temping at [company] doing v.v.v.v.v. boring yet ultra important envelope stuffing. There are loads of very fine women in this office, and as you can imagine, my caffeinated mind is easily torn from work in order to watch these fine fillies bending over to use the photocopier and such. So there's this one girl who I really fancy and can't stop staring at though I've spoken to her twice. I'm scared that I'm weirding her out as often I just end up gazing dumbly at her and then quickly looking away when she looks round, psychokiller-style. If I wasn't so bored at work, I wouldn't do it (so often). Really, I should snap out of this before she really does freak. I'd go and talk to her but she sits with a bunch of catty wannabe it-girls and I'm embarassed. Also, I'm new there and I feel like an underling compared to everyone else so this is doing what is left of my bravado a lot of harm.

I've got a slight crush on this Vietnamese girl who works at the Publix in Watkinsville (outside Athens). I used to have a crush on this girl who was always playing Lorretta Lynn records at the same hippie grocery store trife works at.

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 24 November 2002 08:21 (twenty-three years ago)

''she almost makes me wanna buy all those colourcoded composers cds in the avant-garde section''

yes, get the ''scelsi'' and tell em abt it (yes all those nice montaigne CDs, lovely colours and all). went to selectadisc last week and saw no girl though i did see one nice looker a long time before that (don't go there that often).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 24 November 2002 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Toby, you remind me visually of an old pal of mine called Tony (one letter! spooky!), and now you have asked a similar question. In his youth he fancied a girl who worked in a bakery near the comic shop in which he worked. He asked a mutual friend (sadly very much the wrong one) for advice. He was told to buy cakes at another bakery, then walk past so that she would get jealous.

The main thing is, don't do that.

I don't exactly have a crush on the girl I buy coffee from: she's married, has a kid, and is like 8 years older than me for one. But I sorta do in that I have a strong emotional dependance on her since every morning she gives me the brew of life and like I go there every day so she sees me coming in and gets my coffee before I even get to the counter, so we don't even like speak anymore but she gives me exactly what I need which is like more than any real relationship I've ever had where there's always negotiation etc.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 20 March 2003 07:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I hear you Sterl. That's like all my favorite bartenders but same diff. It almost sort of is sexual, just minus the sex.

she wears saddle shoes and has the best freckles.

Does she have freckles in her ass cleavage? (Now that's pervy!)

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 2 July 2004 01:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's because I'm obsessed with that creepy scene in the Ice Storm where the kid looks down Christina Ricci's ass cleavage in band class.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Friday, 2 July 2004 01:30 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a really cute girl who works at my comic shop. Last time I was in there she kept staring at me and finally asked if I had a brother. Apparently I look uncannily like someone she knows from Boston.
