Weird Mars Bar Guy usually comes in on a Tuesday, so I'm expecting him to turn up later.
He comes in the store to buy two tiny fun size mars bars. The exchange plays out like this.
Weird Mars Bar Guy: HELLO!!! (veh veh loud)
Me: Hullo! (trying to match the friendliness, but avoiding the excessive volume)
At this point Weird Mars Bar Guy seems puzzled as to why I am being so friendly and becomes withdrawn for the rest of the transaction.
I always thought it was strange that he was first so friendly only to so quickly become shy. But I was pondering the other day... maybe he is saying HELLO!!! to the mars bar and not to me.
