That apparently I have very good relationships with the fast food industry people, and the retail industry people? Ok, back when my world was in a bigger heap of drama than it is now... like December-ish I would sit at work, and something would set me off and I'd know that I was going to start bawling like a baby. So I would quietly gather my things, smile at the office chicks, and say... I think I'm going to go get a coke. I would then proceed to my car and bawl my eyeballs out the whole way to Burger King, gather my composure and walk in. Now somewhere along the way the gal behind the counter started chatting with me, and I with her. Ok fine... I probably started it, cuz I make small talk with just about anyone.
Anyway long story short we would laugh, we'd joke, and though she'll never know it, sometimes that was the only time all day that I genuinely had a good laugh. And mind you it's not like we're picking out kitchen curtains here, this all transpired while standing in line for about 4 minutes a pop. But I'd make a wise crack, she would, some of the other staff might make a crack now and again. But I digress... Point here is, I was pretty sure they all thought I was psycho chick who was like the resident BK stalker, or something of that nature. They were nice to me though I'm sure it was to make sure I didn't go ballistic and bomb the place or something.
But then yesterday I walk into BK after not having been in, in like a month.... I've been busy. And my chick was behind the counter and she said "OMGOSH Hey girl WHERE have you been? You've got to call me if you go on vacation like that, you had me worried!!!" It cracked me up! Then she high fived me when I told her I pulled a 95% in my class that I sat in there and studied for my final on.
Yeah... I'm a freak.
THEN.... I went to Walmart, did the grocery shopping, and over to Fashion Bug to see if they had another pair of cute shoes in. And the chick behind the counter saw me and smiled and she started shaking her head no! And she's like nooooo don't have the shoes you want, but look at these, they're flip flops with polka dots... And I laughed and went on about my foot phobia, etc and she was like well I saw your feet when you tried on your shoes and they aren't bad at all , you need to stop worrying! And I cracked up because A) this woman not only remembered ME but she remembered my FEET!!!! And B) seriously..... only ME.... I am the only goofy person that would be chatting away with my retail/food industry workers. I just try to be nice because I figure that the people they normally deal with are like -- give me my food, and shut up, or here's my money goodbye. --And I'm always the annoying person that's like "Ohhh... I lost my 20... hang on... Oh here it is. I"m a dork... sooo have you guys been busy today? Must be nice to be in this air today...." bla bla...
So the question stands, am I just the biggest dork EVER.... or do I just really, really, REALLY, suffer from verbal diarrhea? Meeeehhhhh either way I'm going to go with.... I leave an impression!
And that's ALWAYS a good thing.... right? :)

All right I'm going to be completely honest here....you over think your relationships with retail/food workers by like, oh ALOT....but I think the impression you leave is a good one other wise people would totally avoid/ignore you when you came in. Some may even point and whisper! Your a fun, polka-dot loving chatty abby. It's cute. Deal!
LOL... so true.... so true.... (about the over thinking) I do overthink things.... ALOT .... everything...
should I of worn brown today... hmmmmmmmmmm
:)
I work in the food industry and customers like you brighten my day!!! So many crabby ones, and when you get a fun talkative one, it just lifts my mood and moral to the story IS...... the only person who wouldn't appreciate your spirit is someone who needs to learn to!!
:D It's good to know that YOU appriciate me! LOL... then again... have you ever waited on me? I'd probably ignore you. I'd be like... who's the hot sassy blonde chick, that keeps talking to me? She's soooo hitting on me. Just give me my food and back off woman! :)
Ha! This is so funny because I was ONE of the BK people who joked with you!
Janet loves you, Steph. She would always say, "I like her, she's got spunk" or some other word of that nature.
You're just a good natured fun loving person - and NORMAL, which we normal people in fast food see to little of, so we enjoyed your short forays into our establishment.
Besides, I liked hearing Prince jammin...
So, while we picked you up, you picked us up, too...
That's funny. I invited her out to girls night out the other day. When she was all missing me! :) She never showed though. I told her..... where and when the goof. She's funny. She told me I reminded her of her daughter.... I hope that's a good thing! :)
