So, I alienated my barista yesterday... [View all]

It never occurred to me that she might be one of those...

She's a young gal, 30-ish, pretty and chatty with her customers. It's funny how shit comes up in conversation, but as things went on I mentioned that as a senior, I had to be thankful for young folks like her working. All in jest, of course, but she gave me the line about "Well, it won't be there when I need it."

So I told her the truth, I heard the same thing when I was her age, back in the 70's. Then I guess I started it because I said, well that's why you have to vote for the right folks who will support the program or something like that. Well, she comes out with, "I voted for trump, but he keeps losing."

And it just blurted out of my mouth, I couldn't help myself. I said, "That's because he's a loser." Hell, I though it was pretty funny, but she immediately slid the window of the drive up closed and went and busied herself in the back of the shop. Oops.

Wonder if I'll see her again.
