Prior to joining the Navy, I used to live in Tacoma Washington and would hang out in a little anime/comic store that my buddies and I frequented. Very low-key, the owner used to run the register himself more often than not.
Something else I read reminded me of this wonderful exchange, and for the purpose of the story, I'll call the owner Rick.
I was standing by the register browsing through a order form for new goodies when a guy breezes in through the door and begins to comment:
CC: Captain Clueless
R: Rick
CC: Wow, this place is awesome.
R: Why thank you.
CC: I mean it, I love shopping here. (Mind you, none of us have ever seen this guy before).
R: Glad you like it.
CC: Yeah, I come here a lot and always get discounts.
R: Oh... Really Now. (Insert a Spock-Like look of suprised interest.)
CC: Yep, I've known the owner for a long time, him and me, we're tight! (Crosses fingers to indicate level of brotastic togetherness.)
R: You know the owner?
CC: Yeah! Do you?!
R: (Taps himself on the chest.) He's me and I've never seen you before in my life.
CC: ....
The misguided one looked awkward, quickly vacated the store and we never saw him again. I know it's not much in the way of sightings, but it was one of the funniest encounters I'd seen.
