somethings are sad.
but not as sad as the end of summer.
as labor day sweeps itself under the rug of obscurity you can feel the relinquishment of summer. fall beers have been appearing in the grocery store, and students have begun to settle into their homework load. the rest of us soldier on. it's just sad.
and so we're waving good-bye to a beautiful summer by sharing some beautiful moments from our friend dillon.
dillon works in the whole foods service world. (the movement, not the store)
this makes for some golden awkward moments.
he shared a few of his more candid moments with us one afternoon.
the juicing incident
while working in the deli one day, dillon began to make his rounds by pouring himself a cup of coffee. a shopper had been struggling with preparing a cup of water, as this is apparently hard. while dillon was stirring some sugar into his liquid cup of life; the customer lost all control of their lemons, and drizzled the side of dillon's face with lemon juice.
as dillon slowly began to realize he had just been assaulted with a drink garnish, the two kind of turned a bit and caught slight acknowledgment what had really just happened.
they said nothing.
both turned and walked away slowly.
they never looked back.
moments frozen in time
prior to his lemony incursion, dillon had been working in the freezer. as he was stocking out the milk and eggs a shopper opened the freezer only to make full on eye contact.
they held each others gaze through the lines of dairy product while the customer reached for a gallon of milk, and then slowly shut the door.
he was momentarily the mystery man in the freezer.
it was pure, unadulterated customer service.
we've been closing a few chapters on the summer that had promised endless expanses of freedom. we're excited to say that we peaked a little ahead, and there are (hopefully!) some exciting things in the works for the near future! (starts with t and ends in shirts.)
p.s. for jordan who made a request!
