Pointing a Gun at Customers


On the way to Kyomu Supa to buy granola and cashews, I stopped at a traditional confectionery shop.  I had no intention of purchasing anything, but I’d spied the alcohol pump near the door, and I wanted to spray my hands down.  Six steps into the place, one of the clerks approached me apologetically with a temperature gun.  I bent my head down so she could check me.  Thirty-seven degrees.  “Okay, please continue shopping.”  Is that what we’re doing now?  I was more amused than upset.  Had my temperature been high, would they have thrown me out?
