[ Valerie di Angelo, 19 year old college student herself has a good reason to be hanging around the corner grocery shop-- it's her job. Well, er, her job is actually to be going around and making sure that no inconsiderate shoppers had put items back in the wrong spot or spilled their drink from the soda machine all over the floor without telling anyone, etc.
Of course, mostly what she did was hang out, anyway, strolling around the shop and only half-doing her job.
She could spot a loiterer when she saw one.
It was raining, so more than a few damp people had wandered in, attempting to look like they were busy shopping to avoid being kicked out. Valerie's coworkers weren't as nice about it as she was-- "if you aren't going to buy, go away" tended to be the policy. Not unreasonable, since plenty of loiterers were also thieves. Valerie preferred to at least chat up and evaluate the hanger-arounds. It was kind of rude to shove people out into the rain without good reason, after all.
She cautiously sauntered (yes, that is a thing) up to the girl with the light brown hair, smiling cheerfully. ]
B!
