Assignment 4: Three Social Interactions

Interaction 1: Wednesday Feb. 11 (around 5:00pm)

I was able to talk once more with the woman who makes sandwiches at the UMBC dining hall. I asked her about how her weekend was, and while that conversation was merely small talk, the subject landed upon her day at work so far. To put it simply, she doesn't seem to enjoy her job or most of the students she deals with. While making my sandwich, she added extra meats that I did not order and told me that I was a growing boy and needed my food. Works for me.

Interaction 2: Friday Feb. 13 (around 1:30 pm)

I went to Party City on Route 40. Upon checkout, the cashier was very polite and friendly. I asked her how her day was going so far, which then led to her asking about what I was buying the outfits for. After paying, she wished me a good time and told me to stay safe that night.

Interaction 3: Saturday Feb. 14 (around 9:30pm)

Feeling hungry, I went to a Wendy's fairly close to campus. After figuring out what I wanted to order, I decided it would be a good time to get in my final HTWFAIP interaction. The man behind the counter's name tag said that his name was Chris. He seemed fairly young so I asked him what's up and if he went to school in the area. Turns out that he used to attend community college, but now just works there. He seemed more upset after answering the question, so my last interaction ended there.
