      They work their asses off though. Those two flower shops are owned and run by two different families. They wake up at like 3:30 am to get their business day started. They’re the first generation children of political refugees who fled Laos through Thailand after the Vietnam War

      …so? Is this just whooshing me? That sounds like an extremely cynical, transactional take; is someone complementing you at work always just a 3D game theory value proposition to get help on next quarter’s EPS report? This is just a lighthearted wholesomeness community, I really don’t think they were claiming angelic altruistic intent anywhere?

        Right? Haha. “They weren’t simply taking a walk they were purchasing flowers” umm akshully you didn’t simply go for a hike you went out for a picnic.

      So they didn’t go out for a walk without the intent of buying flowers at all? Can you verify this?
