wish I’d thought of this six hours ago…

Work was work, today. A customer latched on to me at the register and started asking me all these questions about whether I go to church, and how I feel about Jesus, and I’m pretty sure I fumbled through without grave insult or agreeing to anything, but it was a hairy few minutes.

(I mean, I get that it’s my job to provide an exceptional customer experience, and all that, but if this guy had not been a frail elderly dude, I would have been seriously wigged out.)

Anyway, I finally thought of something to say if the situation ever calls for it again. (Driving home, of course — the daily sifting.)

Here it is, future self!

“I appreciate you reaching out, but my faith is personal and I’d prefer to keep it that way.” [REPEAT EARLY AND OFTEN, AS NEEDED]
