went to subway after work.
normally I don’t like going places where I have to make a
bunch of decisions about what to put on my sandwich.
also the workers might judge my sandwich.
but I have a giftcard, so.
I was the only customer in the subway.
ordered my sandwich with no major problems.
the worker started asking me about my day because he’s
friendly or required to make small talk to customers or something.
it was kind of awkward when he was toasting my sandwich and
had nothing else to do except wait for my sandwich to be done toasting.
I think we exchanged a few words about the weather.
mostly he said things and I nodded.
I picked out toppings randomly because I was too focused on
trying not to say anything too stupid in this conversation because if I said
something really stupid I’d still have to stand there and wait for him to wrap
up my sandwich and then pay before I could leave.
that is a long time to feel awkward.
when it's time to pay I hand over my giftcard and he leans in and says, “so is it
you who smells like cocoa butter”
I mean. I am the only
other person in this subway.
who else could possibly be smelling “like cocoa butter”
he handed me back my giftcard and just stood there smiling,
waiting for an answer or something. I
didn’t know what else to do so I said “yup, that would be me!” and hurried out
the door.
moral of the story: I
think maybe the next time I want to use the hand lotion from work I should make
sure I’m not going anywhere like subway first.
