Sorry, Not Currently Being Paid To Care

I worked at a large pet store chain for a few years, and I worked directly with the animals. I was on the bus, coming home from college. I had my headphones on, and a lad was trying to get my attention, so I took them off.

Lad: “Hey, you work at [Store], right?”

Me: “Yes?”

Lad: “Okay, great. So, my sister has this lizard…”

I’ve also had people ask me for information while I was shopping in other stores.
