Something I’ve always wanted to say

Ducked into the little cafe in the STA Plaza to pick up an out-of-town paper.

A guy standing right in front of the display rack was looking at a copy of the publication I sought. That left one other copy.

But the copy still on display was missing a couple of sections.

So I looked at the guy standing there and said something I’ve always wanted to say. With a work history devoid of retail experience, it just had not come up.

Until this morning.

“You gonna buy that?”
