The man behind the counter asked me my name. And when the coffee making expert gave me the drink he called my name.<br />All these examples seem to point to a growing corporate need to treat grown people like kids.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642126053527835870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-39425683941209956092013-03-04T21:27:39.624+00:002013-03-04T21:27:39.624+00:00I must be standoffish or something but I'm afr...I must be standoffish or something but I'm afraid that does strike me as rather nosy, I don't even ask my friends that kind of question for fear of seeming to want to muscle in on whatever they might be doing! Come to think one might feel more comfortable asking a complete stranger from that point of view...

But only of certain check-out operators. If that question were put to me I'd have to lie. The truth would sound too pretentious. Perhaps it is pretentious.<br /><br />Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-73857787645955179392013-03-03T21:44:47.627+00:002013-03-03T21:44:47.627+00:00Hope my comment comes out this time.
