My husband had a craving for Jack-in-the-Box, so I dutifully allowed him to choose it for our Thursday-night fast-food dinner (every Thursday night after work, I go somewhere and get us dinner, which we consume on our bed while watching crap TV of some sort. it's a great date!). After navigating the streets to get there, I pull up to the drive-thru window and order. The order taker is quite nice and friendly, but quotes me the wrong price at the end (I had a coupon, he didn't apply it). When I got up to pay him, I gave him the coupon and asked if he could apply it? The boy appeared to be in his early 20s, dark hair, thin, tall, and super boyish. He turned scarlet as he changed the order to reflect my coupon. Huh? Why is he red? He turns back to me, hands me my credit card, and starts chatting with me very nicely, apologizing for his mistake. Oh, hey kid, it's not an issue, no harm no foul. He awkwardly paused at one point and then said "well, your order will be ready in a few minutes." Again, turns bright red, turns away, and I can see him practically banging his head against the wall and talking to himself. Huh? Then it dawned on me: he was totally self conscious of himself with me for some reason - it's exactly how I would have reacted in high school when I was talking to someone I really really liked. Whoa! Wait a minute! He thinks I'm attractive? I'm just wearing my blue dress with a frilly neckline and hair in a bun - wtf. Then, my order is ready and he opens the window to give it to me.
Him: How was my service tonight?
Me: (what an odd question to ask...) Great! *big smile*
Him: *beat red* Oh, great! Um...could I give you my phone number then?
Me: (LOL! wow! AHAHAHA!) Awe, that's really sweet, but I don't think my husband would like that very much.
Him: Oh...uh, bye! *slams window shut*
Driving away, I was just laughing. Wow! Hit on by a 20-something Jack-In-The-Box employee. Not my type, but funny nonetheless. Also? Ego boost. ;)
