I’m pacing the self-checkout area when a couple approaches from one of the nearest aisles, ribbing each other. The man ups his speed to get to me before the woman does.
Man: *Clearly joking* “Watch out! She’s stealing!”
He then continues toward the doors as the woman catches up with me.
Woman: “What did he say?”
Me: *Smiling brightly* “He said that you’re beautiful, and every minute with you is a joy!”
Woman: “He did not!” *Turning to yell at the man* “You’d better like her; she’s lying for you!”
He just laughed as he waited for her at the door, and they walked out, still “arguing”.
