girl and her dog

i saw the cutest goth couple today at the pet store in the puppies aisle. like shit you see on tv kinda goth. everytime i see an uber goth couple, it remind me of when i worked at starbucks with this innocent older man.

one night as we were closing up the store, a young (14 or 15?) girl dressed head-to-toe in black with black and white make up came into the store dragging behind her a leash. the leash didn't really throw me by surprise or anything... i mean, customers have been known to sneak in their tiny dogs and keep them in their laps... but the leash wasn't dragging a few feet below her, it was actually suspended a few inches above her head. i was like, 'what the fuck? she gonna bring in a fucken bear?' but it was not a bear. it was not a bear at all. attached to the leash comes in the tall skinny pale guy who looks equally as pissed off as his owner (im guessing it's his owner...) so now i'm getten excited. 'ooh! performance art!' was my thought.

as the girl and her pet approach the counter, not one word comes out of their of their mouths. they don't even crack a smile- nothing. she pulls out a little slip of paper with her drink order, pays and waits at the bar on the other side of the counter for the drinks. meanwhile, im hangen out in the cafe area. there is no fucken way im getten involved in this, what i am supose to say to them? 'i like your collar.... the spiky studs really bring out the whites of your pet's eyes...' and the guy who is ringing them up and making their order is an older guy who isn't really used to this type of stuff. he said the best thing ever;

'so uhh... is this some sort of a school project?'

LoL LoL LoL

..... sigh..... good times........
