People kept coming up to talk to me [at Panera]

This is just...unimaginable to me. Who goes up to strangers at a chain restaurant? Especially one who is clearly busy? Unless you mean employees, which would be a bit more understandable, though still weird.

It was a lot of old people just being social on a Tuesday. I didn’t mind that so much, reasonably sane old people should be cherished. My brain just isn’t wired for distractions.

One time an old lady kept talking to me at the gardening section of the supermarket. I didn't have the heart to cut her off, bless her heart.

She did know her shit about flowers though.

Who goes up to strangers at a chain restaurant?

who sets up to work in a public place that serves shitty food?
