Well, that was awkward

I went to Ralph's today to pick up some apple juice and as I walked in, this guy who was pushing a cart by me looked up and fixed his eyes on me. I looked back and realized he looked familiar - I know I spend time somewhere every week and see him there as well. The problem was, I didn't know where the heck that was. I smiled at him and exchanged the usual pleasantries, and got away with just that. Picked up my apple juice (dodged him twice around the aisles) and stood in line.

As fate would have it, he and his girlfriend stood in line behind me. I tried to pretend I was focusing on the bagger, who was asking me if I wanted paper or plastic, but that wasn't enough time to cover my cashier time. So I had to look back, smile and make small talk again. After awhile though, it was becoming more and more obvious that I had no clue where I knew him from, so I simply stopped and turned the other way. When it was time to go, I smiled, waved and hauled ass out of there.
