You have no idea how much I know

I love my job. I work in grocery store, mainly in cash desk and meat counter. It's always funny when our customers ask "Is that good?" and all I can say is "I have no idea, I'm vegetarian." They always look me like I'm crazy. These days most of our customers are regulars so almost everyone knows that I'm vegetarian.

But yea, my job is awesome. It was so nice to start working after my vacation. My co-workers are amazing, we talk about everything and many of us meet each others outside of work too. And my boss.. She is the best. I have never had so awesome boss before this. She carries her responsibility, but still she have time to listen everyone. She always listens us when she makes our shifts. I think I couldn't ever have better boss.

And I really like our regulars. They always start to talk with me and sometimes I think they don't realize how much we know about them.
I have been watching one guy having a girlfriend, then they broke up and oh man, that guy didn't smile at least two months. It was so sad. But then he got a little bit better. Now he's planning to move to Netherlands and start over. He doesn't have anything here anymore.
I know that when one woman comes to our store, she always tries to find me. Her husband died last year and I was her husband's favorite girl in that store. He always talked about me and always chose my desk if I was working. Now that woman comes to our store and always starts to talk to me. I think she feels like her husband is near when she sees me. Actually, she told me that.
I have also seen how two people meet each other. How they start to date, those little smiles. How they move together and have shared debit card. How they always come to store together.

I know so much about our regulars and they don't know anything about me. Except my name and that I work there. They don't know my life, they don't know am I happy or sad. And they don't care. It's not their business. Even if they don't care, I care about them.

Love,
Ambivalent
