I stopped into the convenience store, and today being a holiday I assume man behind the counter is working because he is foreign born.  Just an observation, heck my parents work on Thanksgiving because it pays well and they are foreign born.  I head to the back of the store and choose some items and as I walk I hear a booming voice say “Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving”.  I stop off at the coffee station and prepare myself a cup.  I hear “Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving” two more times and I am sure that it is the man behind the counter.  I smile at the cheesy sentiment as I walk to the counter.  I didn’t make eye contact with the man behind the counter as I payed.  Finishing the transaction and gathering my things, I was met with a “Have a good one”.

Ok, sure I look just as foreign born as the man behind the counter.  I know it’s wrong for me to assume that the man behind the counter doesn’t take part in Thanksgiving, but he did the same thing to me.  I guess I’m just going to have to don a turkey festooned sweatshirt
