The person you buy Olipop's from at the corner store, then discuss the scientific make up of Olipop's with at the corner store. The person that comes into your shop on a weekly basis for book recs that match with their current crisis. Ask their name! Remember their name? It feels like a lil' forehead smooch. We're all neighbors.
when you guys don’t know each other that well, or maybe have only met between one and five times.
It shows them you’re awake, alert and oriented, and know who they are! Then maybe they’ll ask for your name if they forgot it too.
obviously not in a creepy way but once you start doing this you’ll actually recognize the same people if you’re in a walking neighborhood and it starts to really feel like a village!
Love recognizing an old coworker, your local tailor, or just nodding at your barista on the street :)
> ask the barista how their day is going
> say hi when you walk past someone chillin' in the neighborhood
> offer ur shopping cart to someone pulling up
> wave thanks to the person who let you merge
> tell customer service they were pleasant to talk to
