My market manager came to visit today. 

Last time he came to visit, we were speaking at the front of the store. I had given him a lei, which is customary for visitors... And a few minutes after, an older woman approached him and asked, "I'm your birthday present!"

She gave him a hug and I looked at him. I mean, he's a good looking guy, so I'm sure it happens often. Though, even I've not seen something so brazen.

"So what's going on for your day?"

I tried to interject with activities going on in the store, and the woman looked at me with a blank stare for what felt like 10 minutes. She then ignored me and asked him, "What do you have planned for later?"

"Not much, just hanging out with the team here."

I tried to rescue him, really I did, but he was on his own. He was very polite and didn't take any of her advances before she smiled at him saying, "I'll just be sitting over here."

My manager and I ended up picking up our conversation where we left it... But damn that was something else.
