This story was one that was really different from all of the stories that i have read so far in this class because of the fact that basically the whole story is about how the character feels and how he thinks, and gets you reall close and personal as if it was you who was thinking everything that went on and ringing up all those customers with the same thoughts. It really shows how short life really is. He is the youngest there at the store and it shows his thoughts towards wasting his short lived life in that same store just like the register guy who works with him. he looks at them and has the thought so many times bout leaving and goin on to something that he feels would be not wasting his life. Although everyone has these thoughts very very few of them actually act upon them, and thats what the character in this story does he acts on it, as if saying ” you only live once.” This is why i think it is definetly worth reading.
