The young woman was facing us, my wife and I, as we entered Tesco. She asked my wife:
How are you today?
Doing anything interesting?
What's your name?

We were both a bit stunned for a second by the demand for so much information from a complete stranger. We accepted her handout about the RNIB.

"I've lost my bananas," I said.

The girl's face dealt with this information and I'm sure she was just about to offer to help me find them. We hurried out of earshot.
