So when I returned from training for my new job, my mother was already drinking. It wasn't 3:00 and I thought and thought of why she steered away from the "norm". I could only figure out that she thought I was going to be gone longer. She also did this the other day when I went to visit a friend in the hospital. I came back quick because my friend was heavily medicated and needed rest.
ok..so I think I will tell you a quick story of what happened to me at Whole Foods the other day. I went to the seafood counter to purchase Ahi tuna and some shrimp. I just recently learned how to make sushi and am now obsessed with perfecting it. So, as I approached the counter the young fellow (like 22/23) said "heh, what's up?" instead of "hello, how can I help you today?". I was instantly shocked. I guess I shouldn't be at my age, but occasionally I am. It only escalated from there. I replied with "fine, how are you?" He said "killer, just puttin the paint where it ain't". Again-shock. What the hell does that even mean??? He asked what I needed and I told him the ahi and the shrimp. He answered "awesome". Then asked if I was ready for my weekend of "partying". Who the heck says this to a customer? Him I guess. I said "oh, I don't party, just making sushi". He then asked if I knew how. I said I just learned and his reply was "oh then you are 'rookie MVP' ". I just smiled...too shocked to even answer at this point. The whole time, I was thinking I was in Whole Foods, not the average joe smo store. Hmmmmm..... left me baffled.
Now, by now means am I a prude. But I do believe in proper customer service and proper etiquette. The sad thing is this guy thought he was cool and probably flirting. Sad. Just sad.
Until later,
