Seen & Heard
So I stopped at Whole Foods on my home from work today. While searching for an acceptable peach (they were mysteriously red but unyielding), two of the guys who worked there had the following conversation:
Guy One: “Do we all look the same?”
Guy Two: “What do you mean?”
Guy One: “Maybe the aprons make us all look the same. That lady” [pointing] “said I told her these peaches were sweeter than those peaches, but I never saw her before. Did you talk to her?”
Guy One: “I never look at the customers.”
I had to go and giggle behind the salad greens. Even if he didn’t look at me, he could hear me.
I was a bad citizen and went through the express line with 11 items instead of the permitted maximum of 10, but nobody said anything.
Remember the “Dont Be an Asshole” graffiti? It has taken on a life of its own. Under the original exhortation, someone else has written “Don’t be an asshole? Don’t be a HOMO!” Following that is the perfectly reasonable question, “What does being a homo have to do with assholes?” which just led the way to the observation “Being a homo has EVERYTHING to do with assholes.” I can’t wait to see what happens next. They’re going to run ot of space on that bus stop pretty soon, though.
