What Is It With All The Thank Yous?
August 16th, 2007
[At the front counter of a diner, paying in cash.]
Cashier: “Thank you.”
Me: “No, thank YOU.”
Cashier: “Seriously, thank you.”
Me: “Just so you know, I’ll be the last person to say thank you.”
Cashier: “Okay, thank you for telling me.”
Me: “No, I’d rather thank YOU.”
[She hands over my change.]
Me: “Thank you. Seriously. No need to say anything e-”
Cashier: “Thank you.”
Me: “Ha. THANK YOU.”
[I race for the door, open it, and-]
Cashier: “Thaaaaaank you!!!”
[I exit, wait for the door to almost close, then shout through the crack-]
Me: “Thank you!”
[Minutes later, I'm unlocking my car in the parking lot... The Cashier sticks her head out the back door...]
Cashier: “Thank YOU!”
[I leave well enough alone.]
You’re welcome.
