"CAN I HAVE YOUR POSTAL CODE PLEASE?"


At work before we are given the total amount for the purchase we have to ask each customer for their postal code. Now the computer isn't smart enough to know if what is typed in is an actual code or not, so for those of you who happen to be a little cautious about such information you can really give anything you want. No one at Reitman's will ever know the difference. Last week though after I had finished scanning all the items the customer had, I as per usual asked for the postal code. The lady gave it to me. I then realized that it was also my postal code as well. Neither of us wanting at first to say exactly where we lived gave points of reference as to where our homes were. We discovered that not only do we live on the same street, we live on the same side of the street and on the same block, and yes, we live in the same building. Now, we are not on the same floor, but if we were on the same floor we would be right across the hall from each other! Crazy eh! We are now constantly bumping into each other and when we do I receive a hearty "Hello Neighbor" and have a chance to smile at the crazy coincidence of it all.
