I avoid them by not going to bars lol. If i am at a bar anyway talking to the bartender is one of the hardest parts

I’ve been told I have a voice that people listen to. So, I use it when given the chance. This was a neighborhood brewery in the deep south. People here are polite and will engage. I feel it’s important to at least register my existence as someone passibly literate and semi- informed

Not from the south are ya? It’s a true stereotype. People being nice and talking to strangers
