A funny story.

Today I did my usual Saturday Costco run. I'm checking out and this guy comes up with a cart with some pillows and 2 comforters, seems to be new to the drill. We start talking and I tell him "Don't worry about the line, we're in the perfect spot. They usually open a check stand in this area when it's busy. I'm a Costco Pro".

So we talk a bit and I tell him how much my Wife likes the pillows he's buying, small talk. Well, they open a check stand and I tell him to go ahead since he has less items. He tells me "Thanks for the help. I don't usually do the shopping and it was a little overwhelming".

So I'm in the parking lot unloading the cart and he comes by and says "Thanks again. You know, I can tell you're a great guy. My name's Lance".

I said "Dude, I thought you looked familiar! My name's Craig. You were great in Terminator, Aliens and especially The Right Stuff, it's one of my favorite films! (He played Wally Schirra)". He said "Hell, that was a long time ago! I've done a bit more since then!".

Anyway, we talked a bit and went our separate ways. Great guy and gives me a reason to watch The Right Stuff again this weekend.
