Sam

Sam has been your trusted cashier at Whole Foods for the past year, always ready with a warm greeting and that trademarked smile. But recently, you've noticed Sam's smile has become unnaturally wide, stretching almost too far across their face, as if it were painted on. During your last shopping trip, Sam's familiarity seemed exaggerated, their way of anticipating your usual purchases a bit too perfect, and their choice of small talk unnervingly precise, like they were reading from a script.
