CUSTOMER SIGHTINGS

• First little boy. Looked like he was 4. And he spoke so eloquently! He made it a point to remind his mom of all the little kids who they had to buy chips for, and how some of them didn't like spicy stuff. When the chips were picked out, he told me, "we'd like to add these, please".
• 2 kids, speaking only English. One looked 7 or 8, the other looked 5. They, apparently, did not love each other, and that's why the little brother had to buy his own chips. Little brother was scared he wouldn't have enough money, but everything was okay. As they left, big brother was smart enough to read the receipt and called back, "Bye, Samantha!". Little brother says, with a very confused look, "Samantha?! What?!" "Yeah, that's her name." "How do YOU know?"
• Little girl of 8 or 9 asks me about my 2nd piercing (earrings). I told her I got it when I was 12. She asked me if it hurt, and I told her it did when they opened the hole, but afterwards it went away. She told me she knew because she got her first hole recently, and then showed off her Hello Kitty studs. She then complimented my dangling earrings because she thought it was cool that one side had handcuffs and the other side had keys.
• Hermana Laura from church & her daughter Gabriella (we all call her Laurita) came in today! Which was very pleasant. They were super sweet. And Laurita gave me a hug!
• Señora Salazaar, my AEHS freshman Spanish teacher came in for the third (and final) time today. She was really nice and started asking me about school. Her kids were cute. And she even bought a quesadilla from me ^_^ (Same situation as the tamales. They're delivered by an outside bakery and we have to sell them at the counter).
• Said goodbye to a few customers who I'd gotten used to seeing, which was nice.
• Saw my ex-coworker Cristina, who came in today with her adorable daughter Michelle and her new baby boy! He's so big! And she let me hold him. Aww, new baby smell.
• Danny wouldn't buy a quesadilla from me (when I say quesadilla I don't mean the Mexican quesadilla that's a tortilla filled with cheese. I mean the Salvadorian quesadilla that's similar to cornbread). INSTEAD he got a Mexican quesadilla for lunch. Clearly he hates me. But he was nice about it.
• I still had like 6 quesadillas left, and since they, unlike the tamales, only get delivered on Tuesdays, they basically don't really get sold after Thursday. So I went around calling out with the basket on my head like one of the Salvadorian ladies selling tortillas. No one bought any, but my customers officially love me. My managers took pictures, but wouldn't buy any. I warned them that they only had two safe days left.
