Before the Soiree

I was ready a bit early and I had a shopping mission.  Unfortunately, it didn't involve any try-on opportunities.  I needed computer memory for a client so I stopped at the local computer store.  I was mildly concerned about this stop.

They know me.

I shop there a lot.  On more than one occasion, cashiers have called over managers who wanted to thank me for being a regular.  Salespeople say hello, and we chat.

I have also seen co-workers and friends there at different times.

I wondered if I'd see anyone I knew, to see if I'd be recognised (I wasn't confident I would not be).  I wasn't so tested though.

I did see some employees I knew; one pulled the memory I was looking for and simply asked if I needed anything else.  I smiled and said "no."

I considered paying in cash, just because I know they pull up my name and address when I use a card, but I try to keep business expenses separate so my bookkeeping is simpler.

There were no problems with the woman at the checkout.  I put the memory in my car and headed towards the soiree.

I forget more these days....  In the past, I never would have left the store without getting a Meg pic.  I

forgot.  You'd think, as long as I was buying memory....  Ah well.

And, yes, I was way overdressed for Microcenter.
