today I went to a few places.
there was something I really wanted to try.
I was... curious.
I see it people do all the time.
"To treat people as NPCs."
that is... to treat a service crew or cashier of a stall or anyone of no consequence to me as nothing more than a service.
It was for the lack of a better term. 'efficient'.
I did it once.. I did it twice.
...I didn't like it.
I felt genuine shame, of being disrespectful, of ...loneliness.
I never wanted this...
