Perhaps this is more of a rant, but I really would like some outside opnion on this situation, as I feel everyone involved in this on my end is a bit biased.
So. Martel and I like to frequent this certain store here in the city where we live, and it is a store that is akin to Gilda's tastes. (if this seems vauge, it's to insulate us at least a little bit incase someone we know is also on TFP). And this store is owned by a man- let's call him "Jet" and a woman- "MC" whom are married. Jet is a really nice dude, really laid back, always says hi to everyone, that sort of thing. MC, well...
MC never says a word to Martel or I, even when we directly are a) in her path of movement b) participating in a conversation in which she is also talking c) indeed, in the store at all. Basically, she gives us the silent treatment. Now, if we weren't ever in the store, and she didn't really know who we were, I'd understand it. BUT WE'RE FREAKING REGULARS. We're friends with Jet, hanging with him, helping him take out the trash at the end of the day, picking up stuff at Sam's club for his store, that sort of thing. We're also close friends with the other store employee, "J.D." and his girlfriend (who works next door) "Sally." We're there quite a lot, actually.
Now, if it was just us, I would chalk this whole thing up to "MC must not like us very much for some unknown reason oh well." However, MC NEVER TALKS TO ANY OF US. Not me, not Martel, nor any of our six other friends who hang out at the store on a regular basis. JD and Sally often remark on her strange behavior as well, as sometimes she will be all friendly with them and sometimes looks at them as if she's never seen them before. Everyone else is pretty much convinced that MC is a huge bitch with a chip on her shoulder.
Me, I dunno. On the one hand, it certianly seems she's totally biased against all the regulars, but on the other hand, perhaps she has a shyness/being in public issue. However, she works at an occupation (while Jet manages the store in body, she manages it in name) which requires her to be in almost constant contact with the public, so I am not sure how viable the shyness thing would be.
This has been puzzling me for some time, and it would be quite refreshing to get a new perspective on the whole thing... what do y'all think?
