Last week, I was sharpening the slicers before the deli opened early in the morning. The Coke vendor was walking by, and since we made eye contact, we both did the “Good morning” nod. I’d never even looked at the man before that morning.
I occassionally like to be annoying. Not in a spiteful or bitchy way, but just so everyone can laugh at something stupid. Lightheartedness.
So anyway, as he was walking by, I said to my manager, very loudly:
“Gosh, I could really go for a NICE, COLD, REFRESHING Coca cola right about now. What’s THAT about? Just this sudden urge.. gosh I’m thirsty.”
He turned around and smiled, and even laughed a little. My manager said “Ive never seen that man smile before!”
Five minutes later, the coke guy comes back and hands me a plastic bag, with a 20oz coke and the receipt in it. I was so taken off guard. That was so sweet of him!
About an hour later, Matt, who brings my bread every morning, showed up. Lately I’ve been tease-flirting with him, since i think he’s recently become single. So somehow I started getting him to give me hugs occassionally. My manager was standing nearby so just to entertain her, as Matt left I asked him where my goodmorning hug was.
He came back into the deli and gave me a great big hug.
So now my manager thinks I’ve got everyone by the balls. I’d like to think so too, I guess.
Oh and the other day Matt brought the bread and was leaving without giving me a hug, so I turned my back on him and said “This affair is OVER, Matt.” He put his arms around me from the back and squeezed me so tight of course i had to forgive him.
The things I do to entertain myself…..
