Retail Hostess

 
Like a good hostess
I serve you sales and other deals

In lieu of salt and pepper
I offer you our rewards program
to earn coupons and then there's
the credit card for an extra
10% savings but 15% on some occasions

You politely decline but sometimes
you’re interested in the rewards
The program’s free and you already
spend money on diapers and gates
and other baby products like tubs

We smile in between me
watching the clock on the monitor
The digital numbers seem to have halted

But I’m happy talking with you about
your babies either born or unborn


When you leave I'm shocked that
only a minute has gone by
and on a weekday there aren't
too many customers coming after you
