To the employee who chatted me up and proceeded to not charge me for my sandwich a couple weeks ago: you are the reason i love halifax.
I was visiting home from Ontario and I was dying to be on the receiving end of some good old maritime hospitality. No one is nice to strangers in Ontario. Oh yeah, and the free sub was nice too! Don’t worry, I passed the love along later that day.
Thank you. —Happy to be home

“I passed the love along later that day”
aww… poor sub guy missed out.
oh well, I bet he’s still pimping subs for the ladies…
“No one is nice to strangers in Ontario”? NO ONE at all? A bit of an exaggeration, perhaps? And maybe it’s just you, because I’ve had decent conversations with random strangers right in Toronto. And yes, they all gave me the time of day, too.
