"This look totally works for you"
My SO is traveling this month, so I am taking this opportunity to go out as much as I can. A few days ago, I passed Costco and happened to remember that I needed to buy some soil milk and other stuff I needed. Normally I don't dress and go to Costco, because that is one of the "ID" places.
For those who are not in US, Costco is a membership warehouse store. That means to checkout and buy stuff here, you will need to show your membership card. Your photo is on the membership card, and they match that to you. The photo on my card is of terrible quality, but it is definitely recognizable as a male. For that reason, I have almost never been to Costco dressed. But, this time I was thinking: this Costco is a good 15 miles from my house. No, I am not concerned so much on running into someone I know (I don't know many anyway), but the gas is expensive these days and I don't want to come back for another trip (economy leverage starts working). So I said to myself, "Let's do it".
Into Costco I went, and everything went pretty smoothly. Then it is time to checkout. Out of the array of cashiers, I chose an older lady (probably in her 50s). For some reason, I always felt that ladies are more pleasant to work with even when something went wrong. Anyway, she greeted me, looked at my membership card, and then looked back at me saying "I would need to see an ID". Sure, I have my driver's license ready. She checked to make sure everything matches, then returned them back to me with a smile and said the words that made my day - "This look totally works for you!"
"Yeah, I like this look a lot better too!" I replied with a grin.
