Last Friday, I made a pit stop at Burger King to pick up breakfast before hopping onto the freeway for the long and arduous commute to work. I was in an unusually good mood for some reason -- maybe because it was Friday, who knows.
The girl working the drive-thru was a worker I'd seen there before, and she always seemed like she gave me a warmer and more personal smile and greeting than your typical fast-food employee. So, when I pulled up this particular day and she said "Good morning"... on a whim, mind you... I replied, "I don't really like the food here, I just come to see you."
Now, I know what you're thinking: that it was just a ploy to get cheesy tots. But no, they don't sell those any more, remember? (sniff)
A couple of things you need to know about me: I am TERRIBLE at perceiving when a woman is flirting with me. Also, I am not much of a flirt at all myself, especially if I don't plan to follow through on it. And in this case, I don't; the girl can't be more than 25 (and might even be less than that), way too young for me. But you know what? After I said that, she got the BIGGEST smile on her face.
So, to sum it all up, I was in a good mood, and then I put someone else in a good mood. Well, whaddaya know -- you really CAN have it your way.
