When Mary Met Sally

I like your hat, Sally says to the handsome customer on the other side of the counter.

With the classy mustache and the stylish straw hat, he looks more like a hot movie star in disguise. He wears his black, titanium ring on the index finger, which means he is available.

So is Sally. It is great not to be attached. With so many hot guys swarming around, who in their right mind would want to be stuck with one?

Following up on her flirtatious comment, the customer detaches his gaze from his wallet and looks up at Sally standing behind the counter.

The moment their gazes meet, Sally wiggles her eyebrows and flashes an inviting smile, two flirting techniques that she has mastered thanks to the many hours of practice before her bathroom mirror.

Yeah, thanks, the hot guy responds, his tone dismissive and his face blank. Dropping his head, he gets back to looking into his wallet, going back and forth between a gold and a red credit card.

Sally knows well what this is. This is called snubbing when a guy pretends he is not interested in a girl in order to seduce her. Dating 101. A lot of guys have attempted to pull off this trick on her, recently more than before. Alright, good looking, Sally thinks and sneers. You wanna play? Let’s play. I too know the game.

Is that made of straw? Sally asks, gently touching his hand and flashing a smile of hers that has been known to be irresistible.

Pulling his hand back, he says, Yeah, how much was it again? not bothering to even look up at Sally.

Like a campfire extinguished by a bucket of cold water, in a matter of a second Sally loses all the heat that was keeping her alive. What an arrogant douchebag! I hate men. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. Here we go again. Yet another rejection from someone she doesn’t even like. I hate men. It must be because she is just a cashier. It sucks to be a cashier. She hates her
