Okay, so I need to get something off my chest. This is probably going to sound bad, but it’s eating me up, and I have to admit it somewhere.

So, I work at a dispensary, and if you know anything about the job, you know there’s always this temptation to just sample some of the products. I mean, they’re right there, and when no one’s looking, it’s easy to get a little curious. Maybe even a little too curious.

This one day, I was working the floor, stocking the shelves, you know, doing the usual. And as I was arranging the carts, I hit one of them—just a little nudge, nothing too crazy. But then, this stupid idea popped into my head. I don’t even know what I was thinking, but I just decided to put the cart back in the package, like it hadn’t been touched. I know, right? Totally reckless, totally out of character. But I did it.

Then, the real dumb part came. I spotted a vibe cart on the shelf, and for some reason, I thought, “Why not?” So, I grabbed it. No one was really paying attention, so I figured, what’s the harm in taking it to my car and giving it a try? So I did—three hits, three good smacks, and it was like I was testing my luck to see how far I could push it. The thing is, I didn’t feel guilty right away. In fact, I kind of felt this twisted thrill about it, which is messed up. But after I was done, I put it back on the shelf like nothing ever happened.

Now, I can’t help but feel like I’m a little diabolical. I know it’s wrong—obviously—but I’m also thinking, I might just do it again. Who’s really going to catch me, right? It’s not like they watch the cameras that closely. I mean, who’s going to notice one missing cart when there are so many out there? And let’s be real, it’s not like they can track every movement.

Honestly, I’m not proud of it. I probably should feel worse, but right now, it just feels like another bad decision in the making. But here’s the kicker: I’m not sure what happens next. Maybe I’ll keep doing it, maybe I’ll stop. I don’t know. I’m just here, trying to figure out what to do with this guilt… or lack of guilt, I guess.
