I May Not Be Allowed Back To Stewart’s Anytime Soon…

To be clear, I may not be welcome back to one particular Stewart's Shop. Wouldn't that be impressive if I was banned from ALL Stewart's shops?

I'm curious what someone would have to do in order to get banned from an entire chain. Nonetheless, I had an interesting encounter at a Stewart's where it may be best if I don't show up for a while.

I went to visit my college roommate and his girlfriend, not this past weekend, but the weekend before. They live in Watervliet, and for those who don't know, that is around the Capital Region. The plan was to get some lunch, buy a couple of things to take back to the apartment, and chill the rest of the night. It was a requirement that I bring my Wii over to their place. Not like a Wii U or Nintendo Switch, but an original Wii. We used to play Wii all the time in college. My roommate particularly liked playing Baseball on Wii Sports. That was to be our evening.

The Incident in Question

After we finished lunch, they said there was a Stewart's only about a block away from their apartment, so we decided to hit it up on our way back. The idea was to pick up drinks and snacks for the night. I grabbed some iced tea, coffee cakes, and bags of cashews and almonds. My friends were in line first and purchased their stuff. Once, they were done, I go up. As I'm paying, my former roommate goes, "Hey Conor, can I grab your nuts?" I was so focused on paying that without even thinking, I respond, "yeah man, I'd like that." I look up and see a mortified face on the poor teenage cashier.

So, did anything heinous happen? No. Am I actually banned from said Stewart's? No. Did we embarrass ourselves and make some high schoolers feel very uncomfortable? Yes, yes we did. Needless to say, I'm going to wait to pop my head back in there. I'm sure; though, that can't be the worst exchange that Stewart's employee has heard while on the job.
