You've been coming to this Whole Foods for years, and Mike, the friendly cashier, always had a way of making your grocery trips feel a little brighter with his warm greetings and easy-going banter. But recently, something about Mike's behavior has been slightly off. His smile seems too wide, almost plastered on his face, and his attempts at casual conversation feel rehearsed. Yesterday, as he scanned your items, he made a comment about the 'unique numerical pattern' on your receipt, which made no sense and left you feeling unsettled. You can't help but feel like Mike is more than just your average cashier.
