Speaking of supermarkets. I will say. In Dallas, the check out/bag folks *always* asked if I wanted a hand out to the car. Rarely did I take them up, usually only if I purchased a lot of jars or liquids. Here in CA, they *never* ask. Not sure if that is regional differences or company differences.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Interesting. I get asked about half the time, usually at Ralphs.

We went to a new burger restaurant a while back where apparently they had told the waitstaff to be extra-special friendly. The waitress--local college student--plunked herself down into the booth next to me and chirped, "So what would you folks like tonight?" I think we were supposed to be charmed. We ordered, she went away, the food was no better than anyplace else, and we told the manager that we were rather appalled that by what the waitress did. The manager gave us some spiel about friendly and fun and all that, and why did we come if we didn't like that sort of thing? Hubby said, "Don't worry, we won't make that mistake again." The manager gulped and gave us free meal coupons.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've gotten asked a few times at Safeway.

Maybe I'm shopping at all the wrong stores or something.

That happened at a diner in La Mesa. The woman sat in the booth right across from me and asked what I wanted. It made me feel all special. But then she wasn't my actual server, and my actual server did not make me feel so special.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I get asked if I need help out to my car at the Ralph's in Hermosa Beach but not the one in Manhattan Beach.

Pretty! And way less weird than what I was expecting, which involved legwear and a pissed off bird.
