Is this dorky?
I get excited when my mouse hovers over the "Post an Entry" link on here.
They "Hi Guy" got in my line today.
I have since noticed that he says, "Hi" to everyone, but I think it's special that he says it to me. We will go with the world and how I see it, at least on here.
So, lately I've just been very positive and short with him. Not rude short, just not trying for anything.
When he got in line and I rang him up, he asked how I was, and instead of my snarky/charming/doesn'treallyworkonhim remark of, "oh you know me. Just living the dream" I say brightly, "Fabo." That throws him. I ask him how he is, expect him to say fine and that will end the transaction and instead he gasps, talks to me for about a minute. He says he has a lot of fires to put out in the kitchen. I ask him why, what happened? He goes on to say that stuff didn't get done last night, so they are having to scramble to cook and fix things and nothing is ready. I said that sucks for you. But it's awesome for me, means the food will be really good today. I then told him how I was having an issue with something not ringing up, and the customer was waiting and I was starting to sweat bullets while we waited for them to find the price for something. I kept thinking; just give to it them for free for their trouble. He agreed with my solution so as to not make the customer made at the cashier. He also sympathized with being a cashier at one point as well.
SHIT, that was it.. By the time he left me, I had to mentally put duck tape on my mouth to keep from screaming and jumping!
I said more than two words to him and he said more than two words to me!
Now all I need is for Marc Andre Flurry to give me a hug, or one of Miss Jayne's hockey players and I've died and gone to crush heaven.
Dukat still trumps all of them though, what a sexy beast!
