I was walking towards the convenience store while listening to a video "traits of high value man" on my phone. It was the morning and I wanted smokes.

Video says first trait of high value men is emotional intelligence. I was thinking to that, I have no idea what EI really means but considering my experience with people, it makes a lot of sense that that's the first trait. Let's try that at the convenience store, even tho I don't know what im doing. I have to be... Something. With the emotions.

So I go at the cash register. Ponytail is squatting, looking the other way, doing something with the cigarettes trays and boxes. Should I announce myself I think. Decide not to and wait 5 seconds. She says without looking what can I serve you. I say quebec classic special 25 regular. I slip a 50$ bill on the far end on the counter while she browse.

She shows me a pack. Qc classic special by next. She looks cute. I don't care, I just want my stupid smokes and go home. "Is this what you want?" she asks. "I want to make sure." Im half-ass listening to her, I fear a little don't want to bother her. I say yeah.

Then I have an emotion! Part of the plan im listening to it. My emotion tells me to look at the cash register screen, so I do. Screen says im owed 37.50.

Girl picks up 27.50. She hands me the money. I say there's money missing. She gives me 5$ bill. I say its 37$. She gives me another 5$ and says bla bla bla some kind of didn't mean to.

So idk. Why. Why do my feels tells me to look at that cash screen, and it happens that she miss money. Cant really believe her now. Maybe I fucked up. And now im stuck with smokes i dont even like. Im such a wimp, gonna have to study this high value stuff more
