The line was to the door at my favorite sandwich place this afternoon, but they were very efficient at the counter, and I had called my order in ahead. "Can I start your order?" the cook asked even though I was still a few patrons from the register.
"I have a call-in," I told him.
"Go on up to the front," he said. "What's your name?"
"Tracey," I answered and he nodded. "Can I start your order?" he said to the woman behind me.
"I have a call in," she said.
"Follow her to the front," he pointed at me. "What's your name?"
"Traci," she answered.
I turned around to look at her. "Did you say your name is Tracey?" I asked.
"Yes," she said. "You, too?"
I nodded.
"How do you spell it?" she asked.
"e-y," I told her.
"I'm an 'i'," she smiled.
My eyes widened. "We better check our orders!" I said.
Just then she spotted my Apple watch. "How do you like it?"
"Love it!" I answered. "You?"
"Love it!" she agreed.
The cashier was ready to ring us up. "I'm chipotle turkey," I told him.
"I'm BLT," she said.
"That's a popular name today!" he said, as he handed us our bags.
I paid my bill and turned to go. "Enjoy your day!" I told Traci.
"You, too!" she replied.
"Thanks!" we both said.
"I have a call-in," I told him.
"Go on up to the front," he said. "What's your name?"
"Tracey," I answered and he nodded. "Can I start your order?" he said to the woman behind me.

It is so fun to have a random encounter like that.
ReplyDeleteLove your post! I love the tiny slice you shared. I am a Suzanne and work with a Susanne. First question when I heard her name, how do you spell it?! And I love, love, love my Apple Watch!
