    Nosey gocery store employee who asks questions about peoples personal lives!

    Its usually this tbh. the amount of “I’m bored of retirement and I get extra cash to spoil the grandkids.” is pretty dang high. they usually only work like 20ish hours a week.

    the ones who work a full 40 are doing it for healthcare or they need the money.

      You reminded me of a funny anecdote.

      There is this older guy sometimes working the produce area in Kroger, and I was buying produce, he was stocking.

      And he asks “You doing ok?” In this… Tone of voice, that had me wondering for a moment if I was. Like, why would you ask that way, in that tone, if I was not stroking out or bleeding from some place I am unaware of.

      I have heard him ask other people this way too while shopping. It’s just his tone but it actually kind of freaked me out.
