For most of high school, I'd get a chocolate bar (usually Three Musketeers) at the deli down the block nearly every day after school. Eventually, the afternoon deli guy began to always leave a Three Musketeers bar waiting for me at the counter so I could just skip the line and hand him my money every day.

Towards the end of my junior year, I developed a chocolate intolerance, so I had to stop getting chocolate bars as my usual after-school treat. After a couple of weeks, my deli guy said "You don't get chocolate anymore." and I didn't really give an answer since it was still new enough that I had kept the intolerance to myself at that point. My deli guy noticed my chocolate intolerance before my parents did.

Starving to death this morning because ive been to the new local cafe twice this week already and if i go a third time ill look desperate.

#the morning deli guy knew me too since i'd always buy water. he still calls me 'my friend' to this day when i come by.#it's been over a decade. be a regular.#also how was i so skinny in high school eating vending machine poptarts and chips and cookies #and then chocolate bars after school and that was literally my lunch since i stopped getting school lunch sophomore year #another one: my go to thai place eventually got to know me because i'd 1) call to order rather than order online #2) pay in cash for a discount. 3) usually order on fridays after work. and 4) always order the same three things.#so one day i left work and met up with my brother and i called the restaurant to order us dinner #and i list out my order and the guy on the other side cuts me off and says 'do you want your usual lime tea too?'#and i was SO thrown off that i actually said no. i felt too seen in that moment.
