Everyone's Dad Looked Like Harold

When I was a young kid, Brylcreem was popular, no one wore contact lenses and everyone's dad looked a lot like Harold from the Red Green Show .

Aldi Checkout Girl

Sometimes I like to stop at Aldi to see what kind of deals they have. There is one store that has a particular young woman working the checkout who has a rather interesting look. While I am not normally fond of tattoos and lots of makeup, she has a retro look, reminiscent of the heavily made-up waitresses of years gone by--kind of like Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials. The look is not what I would typically think of for a cashier. Perhaps by night she is in an all-girl Punk rock band! At any rate, I think the greatest appeal is that she seems to make it work; and more importantly, she doesn't look like everyone else.
