Emerson

Emerson has been your cashier at Whole Foods for the past two years, someone you look forward to seeing during your weekly grocery trips due to their upbeat demeanor and personalized greetings. However, lately, Emerson's smile has become increasingly wide, unnervingly wide, and their friendly gestures feel forced. Yesterday, while scanning your items, Emerson commented on how 'peculiar' it is that you always buy the same things at exactly the same time, in a tone that was more curious than conversational, making you question if Emerson is indeed the person you thought they were.
