Welcome to Wednesday One Shots, the series where we share a bonus story with you to help

you get through the week, this time around we have a story by a listener named Katie.

This story took place last year when I was 17 years old.

My sister and I worked at the same grocery store, we'll call her Velvet.

On this particular day, we ended up getting off of work at around 9 at night.

Before going home, we decided to go grocery shopping for that upcoming week.

We were in the last aisle of the store which was the frozen section.

This random guy came up to us and started talking.

Velvet and I had already changed out of our uniforms so he didn't know that we worked there.

Velvet kept talking to him because she felt like she had to be nice to everybody since

she worked there.

I tried to tell her that she was off duty so she didn't have to be nice to this weirdo.

The guy kept asking if we lived close to the store.

He also asked if we lived with any big dogs or our parents.

I didn't answer this question but Velvet was still making small talk with him.

I finally ended up pulling her away so we would continue shopping.

As we walked away, I could feel him staring at me and we kept seeing him in every aisle

that we were in.

Then we went to the produce section.

He still was trying to talk to us and he also asked Velvet for her phone number.

She politely said that she would take his but she was not going to give her number out to him.

The guy was satisfied with this and gave Velvet his phone number.
