so i made my usual morning shopping run at the food store - a routine of mine. can't stand the crowds and i tend to get a smile every 1 out of 10 or 11 times from a cashier instead of never at other times of the day. i cant live without my fruit. i've become an apple snob, spending hours in the produce section, making everyone angry by touching every piece of fruit looking for the perfect ones.

i admit i like coming early too because there are some nice looking cashiers that put a smile on your face - if you're into that sort of thing. which i am. in typical fashion, i prefer this one cashier who has yet to even say hello to me. i think up until this morning i had gotten 10 or so consecutive food totals from her - and thats about it. today was going to be different - i needed a hello. as i twiddled with a bag of pretzels as they sat on the belt, i concocted a plan. as it became my turn and my goods rolled up the belt i was faced with executing said plan. well damn, she looked really good up close. nice necklace. hm...silence. my plan quickly came undone.
i couldn't very well do nothing, so i just said the first ridiculous thing that came into my head. "you're looking nice this morning"
i obviously caught her by surprise, as she looked up and took a step back. i ignored the lameness of my comment, and waited.
she looked me back, and then spoke, "yeah, well you're not." ow. silence followed for a second, and then a muttering of "paper".

well i did get a number of items on sale today. i tried telling myself that she doesn't like me because i buy so much produce and she has to weigh everything and it takes forever. but i doubt that. i'm okay with her thinking im unattractive. that doesn't make me like her any less.
