Comment from cashier at CostCo...

alikiSo I posted about the stranger who said "UNBELIEVABLE!" with a wry smile while shaking his head as I walked past at Kohl's two days ago (see here: http://aliki.livejournal.com/458043.html), and yesterday, another incident happened! Perhaps unrelated or perhaps another clue to the mystery! (This can be like a Murder Mystery Series or Soap Operas that I used to listen to on the radio when I was a child!)
Yesterday, I went to CostCo (store that sells food and non-perishable items in bulk), and at this store, the check-out procedure is to unload your non-heavy items onto the conveyor belt, your shopping cart (with heavy bulk items remaining in it) goes around behind the cashier, and you walk on the other side to pay. It's hard to explain but hopefully that made sense.
Instead of putting Erika in her stroller, I had put her in the shopping cart. When I went to check out, I unloaded all the items, pushed the shopping cart around to one side (with her in it), and I went around the other side and prepared to pay. (In other words, we were temporarily separated by the cashier in between us.)
The cashier looks at the shopping cart and Erika, and turns to the Caucasian lady in her mid-40's behind me and says "what a cute baby you have!" The woman gives a stunned look and says "she's not mine!" and the cashier looks at me (obviously the next to pay), then turns to the man in line behind the lady, then looks back at me and uncertainly says: "umm...?"
I flashed a smile and said "yup, she's mine!" and the cashier turned bright red and said "oh, well, she's beautiful!" and hastily finished checking me out. Either completely unrelated to the Kohl's incident; or it's not the weather, not my outfit, and not the stroller... and I wore my wedding ring today.
