I don't even know where to put this. No suck involved, it was just...I dunno... weird.
I'm in a Rite Aid and I'm checking out and another guy, I'm guessing the manager, comes behind the counter, and the says "Hello, ma'am, did you find everything today?" and I said, "Yes Sir, thank you." and there is this beat and he says "Thank you for choosing Rite Aid."
And I just kind of nodded awkwardly and gave him a clumsy smile.
Not really sure how to respond to that. I mean, clearly, it's a canned, corporate comment of the type you all know I love so well, plopped down into the middle of a canned corporate conversation. The conversation itself, while equally artificial, was something you could at least make small talk around. A robotic "thank you for choosing Rite Aid" is not. At that point, the conversation veers into a paid add, or product placement, or something. I dunno.
Awkward.
