In my experience, many people in that state of alienated frustration are largely looking for some kind of human validation. Obviously they're still mostly looking for toothpaste, but by the time they get shuffled around to a few people and start to really feel the cold institutional absurdity of it all, they can be pleasantly surprised to hear an employee tell them something along the lines of "I agree, this is bullshit." Even if you can't help them, a little commiseration can go a long way.
Yeah if both of you are in mind if a crappy situation is just gonna create another crappy situation when you cross paths.
Unfortunately capitalism puts you in a crunch, having to balance school and work so much, as well as the woman, since Target needs to inconvenience her lest the dastardly shoplifters get the upper hand

Commiseration is a rare thing and may well be very welcome. It's rare even here sometimes.
