There are some characters..

On friday afternoon I was working at Old Navy in the Shops at Ithaca Mall and got to learn a couple of things about Ithaca residents. First of all I learned that people actually pay in stores with checks. Second of all I learned that some people are absolutely out of their minds.
This one woman decided that she was going to take 20 minutes to get checked out. There was a customer in front of her buying two pairs of flip flops. One pair was plain and the other had the word beer written all over it. The woman asks the college-age appearing student, “Oh, are you going on vacation?” when he said no she said, “Oh do you work out at the island” he didn’t understand and she clarified that she meant the fitness center. He then had to explain to her that he was a college student and needed the shoes for showering. She then went on to share her college experiences with showering in flip flops.
Once he left she was getting rung up and couldn’t for the life of her figure out where she’d left her license. She thought it was at the doctor’s office, or at the insurance agency. The icing on the cake was the woman standing behind her who was clearly getting agitated. After the woman was finally rung up, the woman behind her in line moved up towards the register. The other woman still hadn’t left the store and decided to ask the woman being rung up if she was buying the heart pajamas for herself.
The crazy lady wouldn’t leave the woman alone and insisted on grabbing a black nightgown with hearts to show the annoyed woman, and said that she was thinking of getting one for herself. Finally, both women left the store and left behind several baffled employees.
There are many interesting people in the world. Several happen to live in Ithaca, NY.
