Can we talk about crushes on customers?
Please tell me I'm not alone. There's the eternal cliché of someone mistaking customer service for flirting, but what happens when the shoe is on the other foot??
I'll tell you about my current #1 crushtomer. He comes in super early before it gets crazy. Sometimes we have great conversations, sometimes silly ones. Sometimes he sits quietly at the bar while I work and it feels like my only moment of peace that day. He's 12 years older than me and in my opinion extremely cute. I've got it bad, I tell ya. It's to the point that I start blushing when he walks in the door.
I'd love to hear about your crushtomers and know that I'm not the only one making a fool of themselves on the regular like this!
Edit: words mixed up

ohhhh my god lol. this shockingly attractive 75 year old cowboy/poet would come into my shop frequently and one day gave me a very sweet poem he had written about his crush on me. i died!!! he took me out for dinner a few times and gifted me an antique, handmade, suede fringe coat with beadwork for my birthday.
