I guess this whole staying home thing isn't too impressive to Lauren because the other day was the second time in a week that she told me what I should "do". This newest job advice was not given after I assisted someone in a store, instead I was lounging on the couch watching tv. Hmmm, maybe that's the less than impressive lifestyle to her.
Who knows?
So, here is Lauren's IDEA for job that I'd be good at.

Well, since not everyone travels to the store with one of these:
and actually since most people don't even have one to do this:
Lauren believes I should be a "Reacher". Apparently that is the name of a store employee that reaches the items for people without long arms, which usually means they don't have long legs...which in turn means they aren't well...uh..TALL.
This is what one might look like performing their job duties:
Yes, I'm sure I could perform my job duties well, as I've practiced many times.
I have gone about it a few different ways.
If it's a nice looking, well-accepting looking person (usually not a man), then if I see someone having trouble reaching a high item, I'll offer to get it. You need to be careful with this way because some people may be offended because you're assuming they can't do it because, well, like I said, they just might NOT be tall.
Some people may ask for help, which I am more than willing to oblige. This never happens on the health care aisle because one might be a little embarrassed when I have to ask from my high altitude, "do you want the cherry or orange flavored anti-diarrhea medicine?" Have you ever notice that the health care aisles have all the "embarrassing" items a little lower? Well, that's why. I have actually been sought out to reach a high item. Last year a middle aged, very "not-tall" woman, turned around an aisle in the grocery store and asked me if I could help her reach something. I said sure, and then she goes on to say, "follow me". Oh, it was two aisles over. She needed the french fried onions, and they were on the top shelf.
I haven't done it before, but I've thought about this one. Many times men are a little more sensitive about their height, so I don't offer my long arms usually to help. I've thought about pulling down an item and just setting it on a lower shelf as if I were to buy it, but decided not to. Then I'd be one of those annoying customers putting items not in their proper place. The manly man could get his item all while thinking I'm a rude customer that doesn't care about putting things in their proper place.
What could fix all of this?
A professional REACHER, then I wouldn't need to feel bad about asking people if they needed help because that's what I'm there for. Hmmm, do you think Lucky or Safeway need anyone in this department? Hopefully they have free daycare in the breakroom.
Have a great day!
