Went to Starbucks (for the first time ever) yesterday. Didn't OC because it was too cold (jacket was covering). Paid with $6 in $2 bills, and the guy said I was the first person to do so (at about 530pm), which was a little disappointing.
Today was a very nice day and didn't wear my jacket at all. OCed today to Krispy Kreme (my pastry and coffee joint of choice-I don't drink coffee, but their hot chocolate is DELICIOUS), Cook Out, and the State of Franklin road Shell station in front of ETSU. Not a word was spoken at any place, but I thought I was going to at Cook Out...
At Cook Out for whatever reason their charge card readers are notoriously slow, and today was no different. It timed out once and then rejected my card the second time. I gave up and decided to use cash. My total was $4.81 and I only had $4 in cash on me. So I went out to my car to get the change, came back, and paid with exact change, including my very last $2 bill. So after all this, I take my food (which you normally have to wait for. It was brought out before I could finish paying), and go to fill my drink. It's at this point that I hear behind me, "SIR!?"
I'm thinking uh oh, what now? Today I was wearing a grey long sleeve shirt and khakis, with my full size black P99 in a black Serpa. So it doesn't exactly blend in with my clothing, and at this point, between going to my car, coming back, and going to get my drink, they've seen all sides of me at least twice. So there's no way they haven't noticed. I go back to the cashier and she just wanted to make sure I got the right food. Normally they have to call out the order number when it's read, but I just took mine when it came, so she didn't have to.
Nobody cares-at least not enough to make a fuss, and that's the way it should be.
