Beauty Is Only Emotion Deep

(It’s my first day at work and I’m bagging for a coworker. An elderly man comes up to the register and blatantly stares at me.)

Customer: “You’re beautiful.”

Me: “Well, thank you!”

Customer: “But you have a mean look on your face.”

(I have no idea what he’s talking about. I’ve been doing nothing but smiling the entire time.)

Me: “I’m, sorry?”

Customer: “It’s okay. You have a beautiful face, a beautiful soul… and a beautiful aura. A very, very beautiful aura.”

Me: “Er, thank you?”

Customer: “But you just look so mean! Why can’t you look happy, beautiful?”

(This goes on for another few minutes before my coworker steps in to save me. I can’t wait to work tomorrow.)
