CVS Hunks

luvyalots · #1 November 8th, 2004, 11:59 AM

I work at the local CVS (that's a pharmacy chain for those of you who may not be familiar with it; you know, the kind of store that sells just about anything).

Anyway, in recent weeks, there have been a rather large amount of hunk sightings there. Two of them were pretty noticeable.

Guy #1 came in wearing a pink shirt, so I thought him a possibility, if you know what I mean. He filled it to the max and was amazingly cute, too. His arms were heavily muscled and quite veiny, his neck and traps thick like a football player and his chest big and full.
However, he didn't seem too bright: he paid for a $18 purhcase with a $10 bill and he didn't realize his mistake until after I told him...twice.
My heart sank a bit when I noticed that amoung his purchases was a box of tampons (damn, he has a girlfriend!, I thought). Maybe that's why he was a little flighty- he wanted to get out of there. I did him a favor and quickly bagged it first. I winked at him, but I don't think he caught it.

Guy #2 came in with a girl. I couldn't tell if it was his girlfriend or his sister, but I wasn't looking at her obviously. This guy wasn't very tall, but he was built like a Mack truck. His body was so thick, his arms stood far out from his body. His pecs pushed so much at his shirt, I swore it was about to rip whenever he moved. He couldn't have been older than 20, given that he was wearing a Prom 2003 shirt. He was cute, although not as gorgeous as Guy #1, and spoke in a deep, rumbling voice. I didn't get a chance to converse with him since the girl did the money-handling (again, tampons were on the list).

Just tought I'd share these with you.

Hum, I might need to set up a road-side tampon stall.

For readers outside the US, a pharmacy is a chemist, and I forgot the translation of tampon. Maybe sanitary napkin?

Sanitary napkin is a maxi-pad

Dunno what tampons are called

awesome sighting.. well described too. I've seen some CVS hunks myself, just shopping there.

Tampons are called tampons. Not that I've ever needed or am ever likely to buy any. I just hope no-one smokes because thats where we run into the real translation problems.

Sorry for creating such an off-topic mess. It was a great story, and I wanted to be sure that the English-speaking public could enjoy it, not just the American speaking public. Sounds like I need to switch form shopping at Rite-Aid, Wal-Mart, and Sav-On Drugs, to CVS...

Thanks for the CVS sightings Luvyalots. I think the first guy was distracted by making a tampon purchase, its almost like a girl asking you to hold her purse.
You just KNOW that everyone is looking at you and laughing. Maybe next time, you can make a comment to ease the pain like"Your girfriend asked you to pick these up didn't she?..."

Maybe this will break the tension and you both will get a laugh out of it.

Or you can ask if his sister made him do it: thus leaving the door open for a date later!

But that is a good point, straight guys do tend to get a little funny at those sorts of things, and girls don't seem to understand. On a side note, I used to volunteer at a left-wing book co-op in Portland, and I often bought tampons & pads to have in the restroom.

Brent, you are a much braver man than I.
I remember a few months ago a woman at the office left her purse at her desk and called to ask if I would bring it to her (because she couldn't leave) I said "sure!" and promptly put it in a box and returned it to her.

Try going shopping/eating out with your mother!

Oy. I can not tell you how many times she'll go to try on clothes or run to the restroom and I'll be standing there, in the middle of Walmart or a resturant, holding her purse! Nothing more embarrasing then just standing there for the entire town watching you stand there petrified with a purse. She is learning though. Now a days she just buys a smaller purse to carry around wherever she goes.

I don't get what the big deal is? I have no problem with the purse thing, or the tampon thing, I mean I'm openly gay, so what am I afraid of? Being perceived as gay? Too late for that one...
