While it might not have been a particularly "deep" interaction, I definitely got to know my favorite checkout person at Whole Foods, knowing what he used to do, keeping each other up to date on new things we were doing, and even following his move from being a checker at Whole Foods to being a manager at another nearby store.

I miss the person who used to work at the Staples who always lit up my day when I needed to buy paper.

In the future you can just buy a crate for $4.99 that could unlock any one of 10 unique alert sounds that will brighten your day when you checkout! And for $9.99/mo you can subscribe to the feed of your favorite restocker and get daily updates about the food their eating and the cute dog they saw on the way home or how great their butt looks in yoga pants! You can even send them creepy messages up to 10 times a month if you have the premium sub (which is only an extra $2.99).
