An emotional ride for the audience and the actor. St. Croix not only gives us one intimate portrait of a human being that doesn't get much attention - the grocery store clerk - but also several characters of various ages and types and desires -- that's astonishing in scope and depth. There are layers of personality and psychology and perception that's --- wow. Consider this for your monologue showcase!

What a person goes through working in the retail industry can be described as a different journey every day of the week. That is what Christian has given us here. As an audience you are invited into a snapshot of the clerk's story telling as he stirs all kinds of emotions. It would be a wonderful and powerful piece for any actor to perform because its a piece that holds. You want to know the story and you will be captivated by the moments shared within it.

This monologue puts you through several emotions in a matter of minutes. You're laughing one second and crying the next. The clerk's description all of the experiences that they go through seem very realistic. And as they continue to detail them it makes your heart break. The clerk expresses their need to be touched and it is very reminiscent of the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. A very emotional and impactful monologue. Loved reading this.
