Could Have Sworn I Saw Him...

I work in a department store. Yesterday, this guy came over and asked if he could check some things out with me since there was no one in the respective department (sign of the times; cutting everything down). So I smiled and said 'Sure' and took his stuff and checked him out. I handed him his bag and gave my trademark eye-contact-with-a-wide-smile "Have a nice day", and he did the eye-contact thing as well, wishing me the same. I saw him and my mental pistons started clicking but not catching. As soon as he took the bag, Ethan Embry popped into my head. I couldn't talk. I didn't even THINK to speak, telling him 'You know, you look like Ethan Embry.' I've done that before with people, saying they look like a celebrity, but I couldn't with him, because I'm almost convinced it WAS him! Ha.

Usually people are somewhat annoyed whenever they have to go to another department to check out when there's no one around. Understandably so, but it truly is the sign of the sucky economy. Been that way in our store since February. Pleasant guy, though. Didn't seem annoyed at all. Just a regular guy making a purchase and going about his day. No airs about him.

But what the frick would Ethan Embry be doing in Providence, RI?
