So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300
So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour “monitors” and then this happened.
Her – why are you double bagging all of your groceries?
Me – excuse me?
Her – you are wasting our bags!
Me – if you don’t like the way I’m bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her – that’s not my job!
Me – okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that’s all right with you.
Her – why are you using two bags?!
Me – because the bags are weak and I don’t want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her – well that’s because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn’t need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me – so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don’t have to double bag.
Her – exactly.
Me – so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her – no because you wouldn’t be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me – okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I’m still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it’s not the same number of bags.
*me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.
Me- is this like that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?
Her- never mind you just don’t get it.
And with that, she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skills.
Willow Smith: Success Built on My Own Terms, Not My Parents’ Fame
Willow Smith, a gifted 23-year-old singer and actress, wishes to make it clear that her parents, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, aren’t the only people who have contributed to her career. Willow has continuously worked to forge her own route in the entertainment industry and establish her identity as an independent artist, even though she was raised in the spotlight.
Early Starts and Musical Adventure
Willow’s Hollywood career kicked off early; at the age of seven, she starred in her father’s critically praised film, I Am Legend. She gained popularity in the music industry at the age of ten because to her hit song Whip My Hair. Willow, though, has always made an effort to set herself apart from her parents’ celebrity and go on her own artistic path.
Throughout her career, Willow has put out five studio albums. This weekend, she will debut Empathogen, her much awaited sixth album. She discussed her experiences in the music industry in a recent interview with Allure magazine, saying that the idea that her parents are the only reasons for her fame has inspired her to put in even more effort.
Rejecting the Label of “Nepo Baby”
Despite what some may think, Willow is adamant that she does not match the image of a “nepo baby,” or someone who succeeds only because of their connections. She has put a lot of effort into showcasing her skills and abilities. Willow said, “I don’t have to prove anything to anyone anymore,” with assurance. She is aware that despite her parents’ notoriety, her uniqueness and spirit will always come through.
Accepting Black Relationships and Identity
Willow also talked candidly about the difficulties she faces as a Black woman in the US. Regardless of her notoriety, she stressed that being Black is an integral part of who she is. Willow uses her rich complexion, which she is proud of, to connect with people. “I love being Black,” she declared. And as everyone is aware, while that’s a place of connection, it doesn’t release you from accountability.
The Self-Reliant Smith Brothers
Apart from Willow, the other Smith siblings have made the decision to forge their own careers outside of their well-known parents. Jaden Smith, her older brother, made his feature film debut with their father in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, and he too became successful at an early age. Since then, he’s started his own clothing line and had a prosperous career as a rapper.
Willow and Jaden have demonstrated that they are more than just famous people’s kids. They have accepted their uniqueness, made their own places for growth, and pushed boundaries in their own industries. Willow’s story demonstrates the ability to succeed in the face of criticism by having resilience and self-belief.
