Yesterday I went home for the day to see my family. Because I was home we decided to go to one of my favorite restaurants in Birmingham, Purple Onion. Purple Onion is Mediterranean-Greek style food with a fast food kind of approach. So my mom and I walk up to the counter to order and I notice automatically that the cashier looks really upset. I'm not sure if she was sad about something or if she was just pissed off. Anyways, I was trying to think of how I think I could make this lady's day at least a little better. So I thought why not just make small talk with her and ask her how her day is going. The lady replies with, "Fine, now what can I get you?" This wasn't enough for me so I start asking her more questions like what are your plans for the rest of day and has anything exciting been going on in your life lately. Granted, maybe it seemed a little weird but she seemed upset and I genuinely wanted her to feel better. She continued with very short answers so our conversation didn't really go anywhere but at least I tried I guess? That definitely is the last time I try to get "interpersonal" with somebody.
