Did you say Steak? (Uncomfortable Eye Contact)

Another weekend has come and gone.

This Saturday was Hawaiian shirt day. Weeeee. I couldn't believe it when I heard my manager utter the words "Make sure you wear a hawaiian shirt, cause it's going to be Hawaiian day." I had to pinch myself and make sure that I wasn't dreaming that I was a character in Office Space.

So Saturday came and I had to decide what to do. Do I a)put on a Hawaiian shirt and hope that everyone else is wearing one? Or b)Not wear it and hope that no one else did either?

I put on my Hawaiian shirt on and figured that in the worst case scenario at least I can't be accused of having a negative attitude. I got to work and the other two opening staff had Hawaiian shirts on as well. But as the day went on no one else wore a Hawaiian shirt. Apparently they were going with my scenario number 2. This made me feel a little lame when I would be the only visible staff member in a Hawaiian shirt, but it worked out cause they were gonna give 3 prizes and there were only 3 of us. So we all won. Hahaha. I don't know what I won yet. Probably a lei. weeeee


 
Have you ever noticed how few people make eye contact in public?

I realized at work that I was rarely if ever looking customers in the eyes. So I decided that today I would make a conscious effort to look people in the eye. I would talk to them and ask them questions and make eye contact and it was really funny to watch them. They didn't want to be rude and look away, but at the same time they also didn't want to continue the eye contact for more than a second. Try it yourselves, you'll be shocked how many people are uncofortable making eye contact in the loosest and most casual social situations.
