Being a good cashier has saved my ass on a number of occasions. My father (who is an old banker) used to tell me "A good cashier is always in demand." I recently moved back to Las Vegas after an attempt to get things started in Texas. Texas ended up being a learning experience for me and another friend of mine. In the end, only one place for me! VEGAS BABY...The last few months I've been working the swing shift at a 711 in Las Vegas..I know jobs at 711 have a certain stigma to them. I'm way past that..Anyways, I've got a Christmas time story that I want to share with everyone..Disclaimer attached..PG-13..If your 13 or younger..Stop reading...
I tell anyone who will listen, Vegas has an abundance of two things..Nice weather and beautiful women..The area I live in is loaded with women, and a ton of them come into 711 on my shift. Here's where the story gets really good..Nevada law requires anyone who looks under 30 to show their ID whenever they purchase tobacco or alcohol, so they are preconditioned to having there ID ready for me to look at. Long story short..I use my standard line..EVERYTIME.."Honey, this is a fake ID. Come back when you turn 21." Women love it.
I got stuck working Chistmas, I didn't mind much. Anyways, one of my friends, not girlfriend, came into 711. Her name is Roxanne..Roxie for short. I've gotten to know her a litttle. I've got a nickname for her..Foxy Roxy.. and it fits her well. She's originally from Los Angeles. California girls are fricking everywhere in this town, Sorry back to the story. Anyways, Roxy came through the line and asked me if Santa was good to me this year. My reply "Santa ain't been around my house in a long time." She smiled and told me Merry Christmas. I thought about asking her out, I just feel that maybe she is out of my league. 711 don't pay much, and a girl like Roxy isn't cheap. My shift ends, and as i'm walking out the door, I see a goddess figure leaning up against my car. I wasn't quite sure who it was..lo and behold it was Roxy.
My hearts about ready to jump out of my throat as I walk up to her. When I approached her, I couldn't figure out what to say. All I could muster was "Hi." She asked me if I wanted to get a drink. All I could say was "Sure." The next day I asked her why she chose me. A girl like this could have any guy she wants. The thing I love most about these Vegas/California girls..Blatantly honest. I don't know if I should take her response as a compliment or not? "Your just so sweet, and when you said Santa had not been around your house in a long time. I kinda felt sorry for you and thought that maybe you could use a Christmas present?" I quit believing in Santa a long time ago. After my time with Roxy, i'm starting to think that he does exist.
you are so lucky man!
