WTH? This always happens to me at the grocery store in the check-out line.
Harris Teeter Employee: Whoa, is that a spaghetti squash? It’s huge! I’ve been meaning to try that. How do you make it?
Me: I roast it and put spaghetti sauce on it.
In My Mind: It really is a great substitute for pasta. Look at me passing on the healthy tips.
HT Employee: Tofu….Hmmmm. Not sure about that one.
Me: Yes, it’s an interesting ingredient.
Okkkkkkk….
HT Employee: Blueberries? I love blueberries.
Me: Yep, they are pretty great.
And here we go…
HT Employee: Wow, there must have been a sale on cheese.
Me: Yes, I’m stocking-up.
Is she judging my cheese consumption? Do I care? I just want to get out of here. And that cheese is looking pretty tasty…
HT Employee: I didn’t know we sold that soap here!
Me: Yep.
Make it stop. Why is the man behind me glaring at me? It’s not my fault my purchases are so entertaining!
HT Employee: Wine. Yum! I’m gonna need to see your id for that.
Me: Sure thing.
Finally! Something I can get on-board with. Flattery will get you everywhere.
But still, although it ended on a good note, was that exchange really necessary??
