Canada: America’s Hat, Part 4

Customer: “It’s too bad that you can’t leave to vote, or do they let you do that here?”
Me: “I can’t vote. I’m not a citizen.”

Customer: “Well, I never would have guessed. You look just like one of us!”
(He gestures to himself and his shopping companion.)
Me: “Uh, thanks?”
