However I can Get It!!

A week before Christmas here I am working an eight hour shift, after four hours of sleep. One hour left in my shift and I am out straighting up the shelves and attempting to place an order. I am crouched on the floor fixing the Pepto Bismol when I hear this voice from behind say "Wow, that looks beautiful." So I turn and look up and say "Thanks." To my surprise he responds "Your beautiful too." So being the girl that I am, I blush and say "Thanks." To my astonishment he responds "That brings me to my next question, Where is the Vaseline?" As I am showing him to the isle where the Vaseline is kept, he drops the bananas he is carrying and says to me "You made me so nervous I dropped my bananas." As I am walking back to the pharmacy all I can do is shake my head. The girl I was working with (who over heard the whole conversation) just stood there looking at me and said "Did he just say what I think he said" Yep he did. On his way back he smiled and giggled. I guess I should take the compliment however I can get it. Yesterday at work it happened again. The first happened as one of our customers was talking about how everyone gives him grief except for me. I smiled and said "That is because I am the strong silent type." Truth is the guy is an ass and I don't like him. He then says "Well sexy, that means we would make a great pair because I am loud. They do say opposites attract." True enough, but it was a compliment I guess. Next, as I am putting the order away I see this cart coming straight for me, which stops inches from me leg. As I turn to give the guy the what for I see this 80 year old winking at me. He asks for the Tylenol and then tells me that he wants me to ring him through. After I hand him the bag he winks at me and says "Have a nice day honey" Now today I am at work and decide to wear my hair down (which is not aloud but I am a rebel). After a couple of hours I am ready to pull it out so up to the bathroom I go to put it up. As I am walking back down I pass the dairy manager who is nice but at the same time creepy, but is staring at me. In passing he says to me "Decided to put your hair up did ya" I guess it was that obvious!!!! " Well I thought it looked better down" Now my friend said it could have been a compliment or the simple fact that he is on the health and safety comity but I will take what I can get. It just makes me wonder what is going to happen tomorrow? And why are the men giving me the compliments over the age of forty? I guess I should just shut my mouth and take the compliments however I can get them.
