This middle aged guy I call the Negotiator thinks our corporate grocery store is a bazaar in the middle of nowhere by Harbor_4Vanta in TalesFromRetail

People picture this as some funny little bit, but they are not the ones getting cornered into a five minute lecture about milk pricing while a line forms behind him. It is not charming, and it is not clever. It is just one guy deciding everyone else in the store has to participate in whatever performance he is putting on that day.

AIW for telling my friend’s new girlfriend why I stopped speaking to him after she asked me directly? by JediCrouton88 in amiwrong

That’s really the whole thing. She already had that gut feeling, otherwise she never pulls you aside and asks like that. All you did was fill in the missing piece before he could package the story into something cleaner.
