Old people genuinely just wanna talk to someone
Had an older woman and her daughter(?) come in and we chatted for a minute because the restaurant was super slow. Yada yada it turns out I share the same name as her late brother and she said I remind so much of him and they came to that area to finalize his funeral and all that and it just seemed like she needed to talk to someone. One of the few times I sat down with my customer and it was a nice break for me and was probably a nice conversation for them as well. Idk I just think older people like to talking to people and I gotta remember that before I say the typical “ugh these stupid old people” because that’s lowkey rude asf 😭😭
