I bought 28 paver bricks. I'm setting them as a step in front of our back door.
Old knees demand this.
Weird thing about loading up, there was an Asian woman, lovely gal, who ran over to help me load the bricks into my car. She was wearing "that Lowe's blue" color and I thought that she was an employee at first.
But, I'm a MAN and twice as big as she is, so I thanked her and told her I can do this just fine. No need for help.
Then she saw the cloth I use to protect my cargo area and said, "This is too nice. They have plastic to protect. I run get some for you." I told her no thank you, this is what I use. I began to realize she was not an employee, just a nice lady wanting to help an old man. I'm not decrepit, I have a stiff back and dodgy knees, but I'm still a larger than average, substantial frame of a man in passable health.
She wanted to help.
I came to realize that if I let her help me, I was helping her do what she does. So I let her help stack them safely while I picked them up from the cart.
It was a very odd encounter. She bowed to me and ran away before I could even say thank you or another word.
WTF just happened?
