so sometimes people give me weird looks when i try to be friendly to people working in retail. for example, when i buy something, i always try to wish the person behind the counter a lovely day.
i do this not because i'm crazy or trying to come across as cute, but because i work in retail myself and i really like it when people say things like that to me. it gets really boring and dull after a few hours of work, serving people who think you're some sort of automaton. they often don't say thank you or ask how you are. whenever i do get someone who asks me how i am, says thank you with my name (i wear a name badge) or wishes me a good day or weekend, it always cheers me up a bit.
so whenever i shop or buy something to eat, i try to remember to do these little things. it doesn't take very much effort. and if the people are like me, they'll get a bit of joy out of it. :)
