Was at Lindfield Coles grabbing some food before going over to a ML’s place.. she was at the Coles as well , shopping.
She knew me pretty well, but was so spacey unawares best of times unless it interested her she had no idea that I was right beside her, till I said hi .
That and she needed her prescription fixed.
most ml’/wl got zero to less than zero interest in acknowledging/chatting to a customer unless there’s reason.
Some may do it from habitual politeness.
The fear only resides within you guilty Catholics ...
