Dear Shop Girl

Dear Shop Girl,

Your enthusiasm sold me on this wine, so I often come back to buy it from you.

It's nice, it's cheap, and I'm delighted that your friend used it for her wedding.

However, whilst I'm genuinely delighted, I'm also an aspie. I have marginal social skills and I have no idea who Westlife is. I am upset that your brother is upset that they split up (?). I grunted several times to express this as you told me the story. I am not good at communicating with strangers, particularly not when I have just become aware of the large talc stain on the bottom of my black trousers (they are all black, I don't like dressing up much, it's an aspie thing. I do like talc, apparently they are not compatible.)

Your 'Goodbye' as I rapidly turned and exited the shop with my wine sounded a little sarcastic even to my socially inept ears. Here's the thing: it's not personal, it's just wine; it's not intended to be rude, I have aspergers, so don't take it personally.

Regards,
The Customer with the White Bottom
