Friends,<\/p>\n

I went to a supermarket yesterday to stock up on a couple things, like a loaf of bread and a package of giant tortillas. I also picked up a package of seasoned soy stuff to toss into a burrito and a box of unsweetened almond milk<\/a>, which is nice in a bowl of cereal, but not much else that I’m aware of.<\/p>\n

The light was on above an empty checkstand, but an impossibly thin girl in her 20s with a blotchy grayish-greenish-brownish complexion wearing a sweater (108° outside, btw) shuffled into position to run the register. Then, in an apparent rush to get through her lines, she spoke:<\/p>\n

hello how are you doing today thank you for shopping at [market] did you find everything you were looking for?<\/font><\/p>\n

“Um, sure. I think I found everything okay. How are you today?”<\/p>\n

i’m fine thanks for asking.<\/font><\/p>\n

She then started noticing, about halfway through scanning my items, exactly what she was scanning\u2026<\/p>\n

oh you don’t eat meat? seriously? i like meat. i like it a lot. like steaks. like a rib eye steak. they’re really good.<\/font><\/p>\n

“No,” I replied. “I don’t eat meat.”<\/p>\n

not at all? because meat’s really good. i like it.<\/font><\/p>\n

“Nope. Not at all. Well anyway, I hope you have a good day.”<\/p>\n

do you have a [market] club card?<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We all play our parts.<\/p>\n
