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

Yeah, that’s awesome! I am just trying to imagine that state of mind where someone would not be uncomfortable speaking to strangers, because it is so foreign to me.

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

Nope. But i worked for a retail job after high school where we had to help customers, and they were usually happy i was helping them, so that taught me to be a little more comfortable talking to strangers in certain situations.
