I don't bother the opposite sex while shopping. But when it comes to just normal convo about good foods that me and another shopper are both buying, it's usually a short-lived "Isn't that ice cream awesome?! Hi five!." Nothing profound but I can see the positivity from even a small event of mutual love for the small things in life. :-)

I will admit though - Whole Foods and Trader Joes' employees are some of the nicest and down to earth people I've ever met. They definitely add to the experience of shopping.

But it appears that Amazon still has those type of people that will roam the store - just not cashiers. And they are probably a lot more grumpy and treated like crap, 'cuz Amazon.




It's funny to call them "down to earth", when they (especially TJ's) are performing a DisneyWorld-like entertainment role enforced by corporate leadership.
