Northern Blvd. Milk‐chocolate truffle hearts, a large peanut‐butter heart and a gift box of chocolate/pecan turtles from W’greens. {Discount Valentine sweets.} A very fat worker got into a loud joking chat with me about the sweets and then other workers showed up who were talking equally loudly with him, and I started to feel it was frustrating my sweet‐selecting. My cashier was (less) fat, (less) talkative سيد (333) whom I would see on all my return visits this season. I continued walking, seeing a cute young worker sitting in HGD as I passed, to KFC, where a cashier with a thick accent offered me, as often happens there, a meal apparently identical to the one I’m considering but at a lower price (in this case, the $20 Fill‐Up with a substitution of macaroni allowed rather than the eight‐piece bucket meal on the overhead menu).
