Hey Man, work in a restaurant?

A funny thing happened to me a while ago. For some reason only now dawned on me to blog about. Sorry, I'm slow.

At the time, I had turned yoga studios.I like a vigorous practice and my old studio cuts on classes. now, as luck would have it, my new studio has two doors down from a farmers ' market, which is a winner for me.

So I was shopping there every week, and usually I bought a lot of fruits and vegetables, especially green fresh, like spinach and broccoli.Are mostly vegetarian, so plow through a lot of vegetation every week.

I was standing in line that day waiting to pay and when it was my turn, the cashier, I see every week and never makes small talk, he asked me, "do you work in a restaurant? why you always buy a lot of stuff."

Now, I'm a geek social, so just smirked.I guess a short Italian guy buying huge bouquets of produce every week look like a restaurant owner, especially in New Jersey, land of delis.

I told her no, and explained that eating a diet of vegetables that I don't eat meat. wanted to know if I was a vegetarian.I said, "type".And he said my diet is mainly fruits and vegetables and is the only animal that eating fish.

The cashier seemed to arrive, but not really. She is Mexican, so probably she was thinking, "Stupid gringo is missing out on good tacos and burritos."

You could be right, but I admit, a guy just purchase that much fruit and vegetables each week is unusual. She must have thought that was a kind of hybrid human-cow. And in her mind might be easier just to eat some carne asada every time and some time.

Trust me, I understand that I am 100% Italian, my family is over-the-boat italiana-Italian guido not-and thus they still look at me funny when I eat meatballs or cheese.

So, if you are veg too, something like this ever happened to you? Do I go grocery shopping and get mistaken for a sous-chef?
