It is a strange feeling to have a celebrity coming into your shop.
Sometimes they are not all that famous, and you are in this awkward situation trying to figure out where you know them from… Are they a customer that came by another time? A person you bump into on your travel to work? Somebody you met at a party and should really remember their name? As I say, awkward…
