Daily Dagger #18: (Because uncomfortable moments can be like daggers to the heart)

I went to Auntie Anne’s pretzel shop at the mall. I was wearing (what I thought) was a pretty cute/put-together outfit, and my hair was looking tame. Basically, I’m trying to say that I didn’t look like crap (because quite often, I do go in public looking rather homeless). So I’m at Auntie Anne’s, and the guy working there was probably in high school.

 Me: Hi, can I just get a Diet Coke please?

Cashier: What size?

Me: Ummm…medium, I guess.

Cashier: Ok. [turns to get cup, stops in his tracks and looks back at me] Wait, do you work here?

Me: I’m sorry?

Cashier: Do you work here?

Me: No…

Cashier: Ok, just making sure…

 Then he got my drink, and I paid.
