they talk about southern hospitality a lot, and yes people are amazing down south, but these northerners have been so kind to me since i’ve been up here. i was in costco with my mom and her cousin. we were by the meat section (no homo) and i was blocking the door the butchers come out of. the door opened and a worker was pushing meat on a cart to put it out in the open fridges. i apologized for being in the way. he laughs and told me it’s no worries. as he is walking away, he jokes how they only pay him by the hour anyways. shit made me chuckle for a couple of seconds. either i haven’t been here long enough or northerners just get a bad rap.
i guess i’ll find out.
