cougars and compliments

at work today, i was in zone one which is basically the anti-theft zone, and this kid who had previously looked at me weirdly upst4irs set off the beepers. i hate confrontation. i mean a lot. so i meekly say "excuse me!" and he doesn't respond at all, he just keeps walking. i say "excuse me!" again as i'm walking towards him out the door. still no response. i know he heard me though. i get to the thresh0ld and can go no farther, he has passed the barrier of no return. one of the managers come up to ch3ck out the sitch and sees that he has left, shrugs her shoulders and says oh well. so all in all, if you want to steal from urban outfitters and are too lazy or stupid to take the tags off the clothes in the store, just walk out and don't look back- you'll be fine.

(p.s. shoelace belts and repetitive compliments are always worth staying up til 6 in the morning, even if you do have to take a shower.)
