I had to get out of there. I was feeling the need to defend your honor or something. And as you're so fond of saying, "no good could come of it."
OTOH? too bad you didn't know where Tim was and do a Woody Allen...

Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I like Gelson's in part because it has a Victor Benes inside. And while it's wildly overpriced, the worker bees are always nice.

Hmm, it hadn't occurred to me until just now that one of the reasons I like the two pricier organic/gourmet markets I shop at aside from the food is that all the staff are friendly and happy to be there. Well, that and the fact that one of the cashiers is extremely hawt. (The last time I was there the girl in front of me was flirting so shamelessly, it was all I could do not to say "Hey Chris, how's the Mrs.?" and draw her attention to the guy's wedding ring...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The grocery strike has shifted my buying to pricier stores too. I do shop Ralph's, but now won't drive past a Gelson's or a Bristol Farms to get there.
Last time I was at Gelson's, the cashier kept calling me Lady. Strange Andre the Giant incongruity. And the last time I remember Bristol Farms employees, I was either pitching one krav (had a black eye), or listening to another tell me how I should get laid, and also eat more meat. So it's a mixed bag. In fact, the Bristol Farms employees are the chattiest supermarket people around.

Thought I'd pop in here to say I finally had the courage to watch Aidan. That was a wonderful, heartwrenching episode.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hamilton's going to die?!

If I only had a brain...
One of the good things about Trader Joe's (the ones I go to, anyway) is that the employees seem genuinely cheerful and interested in the products. One once asked me about the dried dragonfruit in my shopping cart, and I said "I have no idea what they are, but I had to try them" and he agreed it was pretty much obligatory.
Never seen a dragonfruit since. Maybe it was a TJ's in... the Twilight Zone!
