Pike Place Market flower merchants work that game 7 days a week.
They work their asses off though. Those two flower shops are owned and run by two different families. They wake up at like 3:30 am to get their business day started. They’re the first generation children of political refugees who fled Laos through Thailand after the Vietnam War

…so? Is this just whooshing me? That sounds like an extremely cynical, transactional take; is someone complementing you at work always just a 3D game theory value proposition to get help on next quarter’s EPS report? This is just a lighthearted wholesomeness community, I really don’t think they were claiming angelic altruistic intent anywhere?
Right? Haha. “They weren’t simply taking a walk they were purchasing flowers” umm akshully you didn’t simply go for a hike you went out for a picnic.
One doesn’t simply walk into a flower shop.
Idk who downvoted you this is clearly a great lotr reference. Anyway now you have 1 vote again
I think it’s fair to bring up since the way the OP post phrases that is a little eyeroll inducing, like the rest of the post is about this unusually gratuitous act of consumerism and feeling good about being complimented on your purchase by a salesperson, and this is all characterized as being part and parcel with a simple walk. And it looks like that person might be from another country and it could be down to language/cultural differences so they deserve some slack, but to me it’s an offputting statement.
Did you forgot to put /s to your comment by any chance?
So they didn’t go out for a walk without the intent of buying flowers at all? Can you verify this?
