Recently went hiking in the Mountains with TheWildWife and WildDog. Dipped our feet near a waterfall and threw a tennis ball back and forth with the animal. On the way back we stopped by a farm and picked up steaks, potatoes, peaches, an apple pie, and ice cream.
Here's what happened at the farm
Rain was starting to come down and we ran into, what we believed to be the market entrance.
Upon entering we were warmly greeted by and elderly couple of whom you'd assume to by the landowners. The shop was small but resembled a generous doomsday bunker (which is a plus). We picked up a few items and then we hear "- oh , sorry we're cash or check only".
Hustle and wife looked at each other hung their heads and made towards the exit, with one foot still in the door a thought occurred to Hustle "Bitcoin!". We were located deep in Trump Country, with big signs and obvious allegiances, maybe they might be inclined. I said "Hey do you guys take Bitcoin?" They looked at TheWildHustle like the jig was up, they both replied "NO" in unison through grimaced faces. I'd obviously betrayed their trust.
We ended up finding an ATM and coming back with cash, WildWife decided to stay in the car so TheWildHustle ran back into the doomsday bunker to buy his groceries and "preach the gospel".
Hustle bought his groceries, shook the mans hand, gave him a nice tip, looked him in the eye and said "Thank you sir, I really appreciate it", and Hustle really did. The ongoing conversation was spent with me trying to quell his befuddlment and curiosity.
"Why is this stranger acting so nice?"
"Why is he giving me extra money?"
"Am I being scammed"
"Am I on TV?"
I left without saying anything about bitcoin, but made a great impression and the steaks were delicious.
