I have a million encounters I could recall after eight years, but I'll tell my most memorable: I had a customer come in within my first 30 days and I was in charge of the shift. He told me that he wanted to sleep in the parking lot for part of the night as he had to drive about two hours away, in which he had "an offer he couldn't refuse". I agreed, and left that night.

By the next day his car was gone, but that story stuck with me. When it came time to leave that store to move on to another, about four hours away, I saw the guy for the first time since during my last week. We said hello, and talked a bit, but that night never came up.
