What About Those With Barcode Scanners?

Do people get barcode tattoos on their back so they can run themselves through barcode scanners? I know, I know. That’s a ridiculous question; but the husband and I laughed over it today when we remembered those days when barcode-designed shirts, promotional items, and tattoos popped up here, there, and everywhere! We didn’t get the trend then; we still don’t get it now. Oh, and this post is inspired by the sight of a guy with a barcode on his shoulder. These are weird times we live in.

Most of all, they look (forgive me, god of freebies) ugly. The easiest thing would have been to buy a girly laptop bag, right? Wrong. Try scouring for one and you’ll be dismayed at how few of them you could find. The rest of Cebu, it would seem, are happy with their black laptop bags.

Well, I wasn’t happy with mine. It’s useful but it’s not cute. I need my regular dose of cute, especially when I’m dealing with grumpy clients who split hairs over the tiniest thing.
