I stopped by Hooters along the way of a 2 hour drive home. It was just after noon.
At first, I just sat there and didn't say anything. I considered asking the bartender "so are you from here?" or something, but decided I didn't want to bother anyone with pointless small talk.
But after being there for about 30 minutes, I saw one of the other waitresses on roller skates. So I asked her why she was wearing roller skates. She said she just does it so that people remember her and I guess might tip her better. It was an easy introduction for a conversation and something that I actually wanted to know, so it wasn't forced.
Then maybe 5-10 minutes later, I asked her if she's from here and if she knows anything to do if I'm town just for one night. (I was actually driving home later, but I just lied and said I might stay over night). She said it was a pretty boring town with nothing to do.
She eventually re-initiated the conversation asking me where I'm from, why I'm in town, etc. I didn't have any real good answers, so I eventually just said I didn't want to risk driving if I've been drinking. She eventually said the name of a restaurant she thought was good.
I know this seems like a boring post, but it was actually pretty exciting. I would rate this more exciting than jumping out of a plane. Of course, over text, you can't see things like body language and eye contact.
