EFY

So as I'm sure all of you know, BYU hosts an event called Especially For Youth, a summer camp type of thing where kids from the ages of like, 14 or 12 or something to like 18. The majority of the kids that go are probably between the ages of 14 and 17. My least favorite age of kids. So I was not excited for EFY to start, needless to say, because it would mean swarms of hormonal, adolescent kids roaming around, being awkward and trying to understand the feelings of sexual tension they were having for each other. Annoying. And the first day of EFY, I walked into the Creamery for my shift and the place was filled with kids. Backed up all the way to the door. I had to fight my way to the back to clock in. It only gets like that during their breaks though, and one of their breaks is during like half of my shift. So I have had some interesting interaction. The other day, this one kid came through my line 3 different times, the second time he called me by my name (due to the name tag) and then wagged his little name badge thing as he was walking off and "smoothly" said, "oh, I'm Nick" (I think it was Nick at least..) and the third time he came through, as he left he asked me when I got off. Cool. Then said something about maybe seeing me. This kid was honestly about 15, maybe 16. Gross. So that was my first interesting experience. Then today, this girl came through and bought some Bubble tape gum, and after she bought it she picked it up, looked at her friends and said(and I quote), "I got bubble tape, bubble tape ok? we are going to party tonight guys!" I had to keep from laughing in her face. Then, right after that, there were two other little EFY girls, and a 24 year old guy behind them, rather creepily asked them if they were in EFY, and if they were liking it, and if they had met any cute guys. So this guy had caught my attention already, then when he came through my line, he looked at me and asked me how much was the most pizza I have ever eaten. What? Really? Is that really what you want to know? You creeper. Which is what he was. Then, to top it all off, he wanted to give me change after I had already entered his amount and it was super annoying. Then, this group of kids saw that the conveyor belt went around in circles. So, in order to demonstrate their capacity for immature obnoxiousness, they put their items allllll they way at the back where I couldn't reach them, so I had to push the button to make it move forever, since my belt is broken, while they laughed and carried on about how cool mechanized grocery store machinery is. I was pretty tired today as well, so when they did that I had to put on my best fake voice/smile and ask them if they enjoyed watching that conveyor belt move. They didn;t pick up on my sarcasm, obviously. They were too distracted by their rotating items. Well thats all the stories I have more now.
