So I had an experience that I never expected to have actually happen to me. I was working at my part time job and we were going through the motions of closing the store. Wiping down counters, throwing out trash, restocking, and so much more. We were taking out time and would stop when a customer would come in. Well it just so happens that one of the owners, Dancer, had to go do an interview so for a while I was by myself. This couple comes in, I ask if they would like a free sample of fudge. They say yes, having some and proceed to ice cream. 

Of course as I’m scooping I’m having a little bit of conversation. I get everything they need and we make it to the counter. The guy goes into his pocket, takes out his wallet and pays with cash. I take his cash, ask if he would like a receipt and then proceed hang the change to him. He smiles, thanks me and turns to go but then stops. He reaches into his pocket and says "You know what I’m just going to give you this" and out comes a small book. At first glance it looked like nothing really. I watched as he struggled with it. A card fell out of the book and into the tip jar. He reaches in laughing a little as he said "whoops". 

That’s when I see the title, "New Testament Psalms Proverbs"

Oh my ****ing god. I was being handed a bible. Not only that but he started speaking as he was doing it. Hanging it to me he smiles and says 

"In this bible is a guide for all sinners to reach heaven. You should definitely give it a read" and I saw his eyes look at me quickly. There it was. Judgment. 

But knowing my place and to try and hold back anything I wanted to say I only managed a sentence that would have looked like this if it was captioned. 

"oh.....um... i see.....thank you....so....uh...much....have a good night"

Yea. Like that. Most of it was mumbled slightly but he either didn’t care, or didn’t hear me because he smiled and thanked me again before walking out. I’m not going to lie I couldn’t help but feel slightly insulted. I know he didn’t say anything or do much of anything intentionally like that but, i felt it. In any case the bible didn’t make it very far. I don’t have need for a bible and I don’t know anybody who would want one so I gave it to our local depository. 

At least I can say that it happened to me once.
