I've been kind of a jerk lately, and I don't know why. I can't apologize to the people I was a jerk to, so I'm apologizing to you.
1. The grocery store I use has a loyalty card. The receipt prints out with your name and the cashier is required to say, "Thank you for shopping with us today, Miss Fatale."
I usually just smile and say thanks, even if they mispronounce my name, because who cares?
Sunday, I went to the store, and the cashier said, "Thanks for shopping with us today, Miss Fatal."
Instead of saying thanks, I said "Close enough," which then led to the cashier asking how to say my name properly, and then me explaining.
In the long run, who cares? Why did I have to correct the cashier? I'm sorry for being a jerk.
2. Yesterday I went to the tea store. I got a ton of tea for $30. I was really happy. When the cashier told me my total, I said "Great!" then turned to Mr. Fatale and said, "That's awesome, I'm used to Teavana where it's $15 for just two ounces."
Mr. Fatale said the cashier looked very unhappy when I said that.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be a jerk. I was really happy to get the tea.
