Female customer: “I don’t have a rewards card but my partner might.”

like these two guys walked passed me (they had driven to my neighborhood for a change of scenery i think) and they were holding hands and arguing ab smth but one had this huge smile on his face and whatever they were talking ab ended in them asking why i was staring and i had to explain... long story short i had a good day
