I went to Hot Topic today and my mom made me drag my little sister along with me, so I guess the employees thought I was like 12 or something because they came up to us and we're like, "Hi girls, do you kids need help with anything?" No, no I actually come here all the time. And it was super awkward and the employees kept yelling conversation at each other from across the store. SO THEN this kinda sketchy looking worker came up to me and was like, "I'm Kiwi, like the fruit, if you guys need any help." And I felt warmth flood me because omg one of my good friends was just telling me that her brother is friends with a Kiwi that works at Hot Topic. I can just bring up her brother and that'll be chill and she'll stop making me feel so awkward. So I said, "hey, do you know anyone with the last name of [popular last name]?"

Her: I know a lot of people with that last name.

Me: Uh...oh, yeah, of course. His name is....

AND THEN, POOF! I could not remember his name. It was gone from my mind forever.

Me: Well, he's pretty tall, reddish hair I think?

Her: I know lots of people with red hair.

Me: ...Okay....never mind.

Her: I know it seems hard to believe, but I meet a lot of people working here.

Me: yeah okay.

Her: Your total is 33.70

Me: Uh. Okay. Thanks.

SHE WAS SO SASSY. I MEAN USUALLY EVERYONE AT HOT TOPIC DOESNT TREAT ME LIKE A 12 YEAR OLD. IDK.

It was a bit embarrassing.
