If you’re ever curious as whether any of my “encounters” don’t go so well…
This just happened…
At the Vitamin Shoppe. Grab my item and walk to the front.
Cashier lady greets me. Not with a “Hi.” or “How are you?”, but a:
“So. What’s our phone number?”
With a smile, “Whoa! Are we living together already?”
Not a laugh. Not a smile. Nothing.
And then I paid for my item and walked away like a guy who didn’t impress that lady at all.
It happens.
