how not to make a good impression:

Tip # 322: When wished a good day by your cashier, wish them and you have a better one while leering.

I'm still utterly blown away by Jonathan Coe's writing in The Rotter's Club. Completely and utterly in awe. If you have any interest in working class/ruling class, Birmingham, England, England in the early 1970

I swear that being in customer service is like having a "hit on me!" target sign.

mm... I've got a couple of ideas brewing for wildestranger's challenge at too_old_too_gay as a series of letters and scenes, and am beginning to understand more about how a Potions Master and a start student with an attitude and chip on his back might interact for sirius_loving

Eeee! I can't wait to read it/them!

DUDE, yes. It was worse when I was like 17 and working at a coffee shop. I had a FedEx guy actively courting me with like bunches of roses and his sister telling me how nice he was. *eye roll* nice, but I was dealing with a stupid mixed up thing with a boy my own age at the time.
