(yells across store)
Hey, it’s Jeremy! You’re enlightened dude? I didn’t know you were enlightened!
(to friend)
Do you know Jeremy? He’s enlightened!
His Friend
You’re out of coffee.
Me
Right. Sorry about that.
(gets new canteen of coffee; mumbles)
I’m not enlightened. Don’t listen to him.
His Friend
It’s good to be enlightened.
Me
It’s weird to be enlightened. That’ll be $2.07.
Loud Friendly Acquaintance
Why didn’t you tell me you were enlightened, dude?
Me:
That’s right, I’m enlightened. I’ve come before you to be a cashier.

And so, like all great teachers, you leave the story for each to complete in their own way.
I note the fact that people will give money to a cashier.
