Kick Off Your Sunday Shoe Store

(I am out shopping with two of my cousins. They decide we need to look at shoes. The store is nearly empty and they have a local oldies station playing. ‘Footloose’ comes on as they’re browsing the shoes.)

Me: “Ooh! Footloose! I love this song!”

Cousin #1: “Just don’t—”

(Before she can finish her sentence, I start dancing to the music. She and her sister hide their faces and walk off to look at shoes in another part of the store. The two employees, who had looked bored to tears, start laughing and clapping as I dance around the shoe fitting area. When the song ends, I plop down on one of the seats to catch my breath.)

Cousin #2: “We can’t take you anywhere!”

Employee #1: “Oh, she didn’t hurt anyone!”

Employee #2: “In fact, she just made our day! Thank you!”

Me: *grinning* “I work with the public, and I know the bad customers outweigh the good, so I figured I would brighten your day!”
