Social Interaction

OK, I think I got one.

A social interaction that I care to blog about happened today while at at a local pizza spot in College Park (Mama Lucia's). GREAT PIZZA by the way. Anyways, I have been going there for quite some time now and I never say anything. I just go in, order and mind my own business. Today was different. While walking up to the door I was thinking how much I would love it if they had their specialty pizza with the BBQ chicken. Well of course, right on cue they sold out just before I walked in. I couldn't believe it! So I finally spoke up and decided to use the principles from HTWFAIP. I introduced myself and said how I am a regular for lunch and how I really enjoy the food. The gentleman replied that I look familiar so I jumped right in and asked him his name. Come to find out this gentleman was the owner, Jimmy. Jimmy began to explain how they were sold out and making one big pie for one person just wouldn't make sense. I was frustrated (but didn't show it) and quickly changed the topic. I referenced the television and what was being discussed regarding the A-rod story and the Yankees. Turns out he is a Yankees fan.....and we got to chattering about sports and such. In the end, he made me a Large BBQ chicken pizza just for me and only charged me for two slices. Good deal I'd say plus Jimmy is a new friend for next time!
