Even though I'm an introvert, I love running into people I know while shopping. It's usually a short interaction (we're both there to get food and not socialize) and it's nice to see a familiar face.
This checks out. But what I struggle with is the awkward dance around ending it somehow.
Do I just bounce or shop together?
What happens if I see them again in the store?
Do I need to acknowledge the re meeting?
Depends on the store size, I guess, I usually bounce
Don't acknowledge it, you've already said hello
