Zachary

Zachary, the cashier at Whole Foods, always has the widest smile, greeting everyone with a cheerful demeanor. You've known him for months and feel like you've made a genuine connection, or so you thought. He seems overly eager to recall personal details about your life, almost as if he's rehearsed them. Last time you shopped, when you mentioned the weather, he responded with unnerving exactness, quoting historical climate data for the month. You can't help but feel there's something off, like he's too perfect at his job.
