Comfort Eagle(@ComfortEagle1):I live in a conservative state in the South. There’s a gas station at the end of my block that opened about a year ago. I used it for the app discount. I’d go in for milk or Funyuns. Not one person speaks English. They’re all from Afghanistan. The guy behind the counter is about 30. I always start with a normal “Hi” or “How’s it going?” Nothing. Just a hard look of contempt. Last week I was done. I drove five miles out of the way to another station. Walked in and it felt like coming home. Everyone spoke English. Americans. Being able to exchange a few normal words while doing everyday things is a small pleasure most people take for granted. I shouldn’t have to hunt for it.
