I walk into an elevator and this stranger says hi and asks how my day was... good and thanks for asking... I was about to leave and the same stranger wishes me to have an enjoyable evening. What is wrong with this picture? Oh well, the person was a stranger obviously. I know that stranger couldn't care less as to how my life was and how it will become.
I walk into a restaurant with my husband, we were waiting to be seated. Another stranger, this time, a server/waiter, asked us how we were...must be customer service... this should be a nice place! We then ordered, the food was served, it was good!!! That server/waiter dropped every oh so often just to ask how everything was... oh God leave us so we can enjoy the food!!! Are they that desperate to have TIPS?
After a lovely night, we hailed a cab... and you guess it right, the driver asked us how we were... oh my is this a city policy in San Diego? Anyway, after all the "howyadoin" and etc. we arrived at our home sweet home apartment, gave the taxi driver some TIPS and he goes on wishing us "have a good evening!"....hmmm odd!
(Am thinking of making a sequel...)
