The best days to go to the Gas Station Chicken Store are Thursday thru Sunday. That's when my favorite clerk is working. I know you're not supposed to have favorites! The other clerk is perfectly nice. She's just a bit more reserved.
One time my favorite clerk asked why I hadn't been in the day before. I told her I had been at the casino.
"Oh. I haven't been THERE in a long time. Ever since I got kicked out for being mouthy."
Heh, heh! I could see that happening. Anyhoo... on Friday, I cashed in a $50 winning scratcher.
"You didn't buy THAT one from me!"
"No. I've been stepping out on you. I got it at the School-Turn Casey's."
I went on to pick out the scratchers I wanted to buy.
"Whoa! You fooled me. I was sure you were getting this one you always get."
"Nope. That other one spoke to me more. But sometimes, they're dirty, dirty liars!"
Heh, heh. I don't make small talk like that with the other cashier. She's younger, and more businesslike. Every now and then I can get her to crack a smile. But it takes more work.

You have to keep working on the younger one so she learns, just do it gently.
River,
She means well. She just needs to loosen up. Maybe it comes from being a little wisp of a thing, whereas the other one is more ample in the rumpus, and 10-15 years older.
