It was interesting to catch it and observe the reaction of a 'normal' person with boundaries.
I go to the same checkout gal in the market and today handed her my canvas bag for the groceries. I had another one hanging on the back of my chair with room for more groceries, and asked for them, implying there was not enough room in my first bag.
She is so pleasant. Not particularly pretty, but her attractive attitude makes her attractive…and fun…middle-aged, frizzy hair, teeth a bit crooked, but as nice as can be…oozes fun….and said, “Now. Now. I know what I’m doing. You just never mind.” as nice as could be and I said, ”Oh my! I crossed a boundary, didn’t I?” and she just smiled pleasantly and said “Yes”.
All my purchases fit into the one bag. She knew what she was doing! I am not a grocery packer, so I must keep my place.
