AnusPop!

In my paid job, as a barista [read: coffee beeotch], I encounter many MANY of what I refer to as our "Anus Population." The AnusPop comes in many forms. No two are alike, in fact. They are characterized by (but not limited to) the following:

- A general sense of entitlement

- A wholehearted lack of empathy or compassion for their fellow man (whom they most likely do not even consider a "fellow")

- Attitude

- Super-shallow pockets (ahem, tightwads)

- dickheads, douchebags, bitches and cun*s all fall within this spectrum

The AnusPop stinks up our society, but remember, one member of the Thoughtful Population cancels out somewhere between 12-25 members of the AnusPop (on average.)

Two women came to my store and ordered chai. Before I had finished ringing them up for their purchases I detected (one of) the most luscious and intoxicating scents I had smelled in a while. I had to inquire. As it turned out, one of the lady's had just sampled a perfume at a store in the mall that shall remain nameless (B&BW.) I continued to chat with these women as I finished their drinks. I couldn't help myself from raving about the smell the entire time. As I handed the women their drinks, the delicious-smelling one let me know that she was going to have to go back to buy the yummy perfume. "I think you should," I told her.

Well, about ten minutes later, the women returned, B&BW bags in hand. And wouldn't ya know it, the woman had bought me a bottle of the perfume!! So thoughtful, it made my night actually.

One member of the ThoughtfulPop cancels out 12-25 members of the AnusPop... and I will think about this thoughtful and sweet woman from now on when dealing with an AnusPop member. The little things can make all the difference. Thanks for the perfume and double-thanks for the lesson!
