The Front End

This guy comes through my line at Wegmans today, and obviously I'm just running my mouth because I am as happy as a clam to be cashing for the first time in weeks... 
So I'm telling him my life story, telling him about how I work in the Pharmacy now and he's like 
"but you're not a pharmacist"
I'm like "No, I'm a technician" 
He's like "Don't technicians work on tv's and stuff?"
I'm like... "No. I'm like... an assistant to the pharmicist... just called a technician" 
"Oh"  
So then I proceed to tell him about how I'm a Musical Theater major and I'm also starting Krav Maga classes and 
He's like "What ae you going to do with that?" 
I'm like "I want to work for Disney, or Broadway, or both... or national tour... or just love life doing whatever I want."
He's like "You're crazy and naive... are you a Freshman?" 
Me "No... I'm going to be a Senior....."
"Me, too"
Silence.
Me "So... you go to UB? What do you study"
"Yeah, Physics"
"Well what are you gonna do with THAT?!"
"Discover things about the world"
Me "Well, that's funny... I have a minor interest in macro physics. I read college textbooks and watch documentaries about it for fun. I like learning about the world, too."
Him "You're adorable. Can I have your number?"
Me  (Instinctively covers name tag) "*Scoff* NO! But you are more than welcome to come through my line again sometime! THANK YOU! Have a Great Day!"


He scurried away really fast...


SERIOUSLY?!
Don't call me Naive. Crazy. Or Adorable. 
And if you do... don't think about asking me for my number.
