crying in target

I went to target today and as I behind a girl who was buying the following:

Tampons (for some reason these are hard to miss)
deorderant
popsicles


I was there in my own world not thinking anything of it. She gets up to pay and the nice older guy checker asked her how her day was and she said fine. He said no it looks like its been a crappy day, has it been a crappy day? And she started to cry. For some reason it was comfortable. He asked if it was a boy and she shook her head yes while he comforted her with simple words and we laughed and talked about how it will get better. It was weird and great! It honestly wasn't the least bit awkward. It made me want to be friends both with her and the random nice old guy.
