WHERE DID YOU GET THAT BLANK EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE?

So I'm trotting along St. Clair W today, doing my absolute best to look impossibly fresh, perky and summery - even though my feet are killing me in my new and oh so cute strappy turquoise heels, when I arrive at the Subway and it's closed for a medical emergency. No problem, I'm not really in a hurry, so I pop into the LCBO to browse the expensive bottles of champagne before settling on a 6 pack of Corona. I get to the cute checkout boy...

-Hi, how are you?
-Good and you?

...he looked at me for a moment...must be going to ask for ID I figured...
-Oh, good! ...sorry, it's just the hair...the blond hair, looks really good with your blue eyes
-Oh, umm yea its uhh summery I suppose!
-Yea, it is. ...And the glasses, they look great too
-ohh umm...i smiled as I fumbled with my debit card..
-And I really like your necklace...just everything ...Real uh summery, it's nice!

a few words exchanged about working indoors while we could be enjoying the sun...
-Are you done work for the day?
-Yup! Well have a nice day
...and I scooted out to let the person behind me pay for their stuff. Seriously, I don't make this shit up.
I thought briefly about trotting back in on my way out of Loblaws and daringly asking the cute boy out, but only briefly. Toronto boys are bad news after all.

I'd suggest getting a restraining order against this young man.

/"my regular LCBO"...i sound like an alcoholic...or a pretentious snob who only goes to the nice LCBO in the annex (even though it is the closest to my apt..)
