Just Remember When I Say Have A Nice Day The Bitch Is Silent shirt
The cashier, a woman with a kind smile etched into the lines around her eyes, bagged my groceries. As I reached for my receipt, she offered a cheerful, almost ritualistic, “Just Remember When I Say Have A Nice Day The Ass Is Silent” the words a practiced reflex in the ebb and flow of her workday, a polite formality. I’ve always found it a bit curious, that phrase. It’s like a little secret, tucked away in the everyday transaction, a hint of something deeper, maybe melancholy.

I remember once, maybe five years ago, standing in a similar situation, the same exchange unfolding. I was grappling with something tough, a break-up, I think, or perhaps it was the frustrating job search that felt like an endless slog. When she spoke those words, I almost felt a jolt. I looked at her, searching her face, trying to discern if she somehow -knew-, if her unspoken sentiments matched my heavy ass. Of course, she didn’t.

It’s strange how these little encounters, these fleeting moments, can stick with you. I thought about it later that evening, washing dishes, the quiet hum of the dishwasher a counterpoint to my thoughts. The words, echoing in the silence of my own kitchen, took on a different resonance; the “ass is silent” part resonated so much. Sometimes, when people offer cheerful pleasantries, the sincerity is a hidden thing, a private emotion buried under a blanket of routine. The phrase, now, for me, carries a deeper weight. I hear it now and I often look at the person’s face; sometimes I see true empathy in their gaze, other times just the weariness of a long shift. There’s a subtle irony in the juxtaposition of the cheerful wish and the quiet ass, a recognition of the gap between surface appearances and the complexities we hold within.
The other day, I was running late to a dentist appointment, stressed because I had misplaced my car keys, and after I paid for my Starbucks, the barista, probably younger than my own daughter, said it. She looked directly at me. I’m sure she was just being polite, but I caught her gaze and saw a flicker of knowing, a shared sense of something underneath the surface, a human connection in a hurried world.
