So alot of my acquaintances are really enjoying this story; so I thought I would share it here for your possible enjoyment.
The
other day I got off work a lil early and decided to go to wallmart.
After weaving thru the maze and getting the needed supplies I proceeded
to checkout.
For me deciding what to eat is often a huge task. I dont know why.
But for December Subway has been selling sandwiches for $2; being that I am poor this is a perfect utilization of assets.
While
standing in line for getting my sandwich I realized there has alot of
change at this subway. Half of the business is seemed to be joint owned
by another company (kinda like the pizza hut taco bell combos) I make
notice to the lady behind the counter and she explains to me that it has
been changing since last October.
I mean who doesn't enjoy a
pretzel every once in a while I think it is a good addition and for that
populace will make a great deal of money.
There is a young
man of mid 20s standing there on the Pretzel side. he seems happy and
and joins in with our mundane conversation. He explains to me what
seems to sell and what seems to be to others people likening.
I
attempt to be polite by giving a fake smile and telling him that I will
make sure to get a pretzel next time; but not this time because my
sandwich is already half made.
He smiles and makes eye contact with me and asks .... "So are you a salty or sweet type of guy??"
So in my typical Aspie brain I reply "Oh sorry no I am not single and actually I am straight."
at that point. he gave me a bizarre look. you know the type of look everyone gives you when you fart in an elevator ..... ?
At
that point .. i realize he want not actually hitting on me or asking me
out but rather he was attempting to offer me a free sample and wanted
to know whether I liked sugar or salt on my piece of pretzel.
At
this point I am sure the lady making my sandwich could see that I had
embarrassed myself so she kind of quickly piped in and said something
irrelevant and obvious to fill that annoying silence. So this is all
for you .... could I offer you chips and a drink to make it a meal?
I
appreciated that she attempted to cover for my social blunder and I
take this down as a personal lesson ... Not every guy who asks you if
you are sweet or salty is a homosexual trying to hit on you; sometimes
they are just offering free samples of pretzels!
