One would wonder if she doesn't ever get tired of it all, this unbridled affection for everyone who happens to wander into her path, but he supposes that she would be a very different person if she thought of her energy in expendable terms. He does, which is why he finds all of it very exhausting.

The stranger manning the counter is a deviation that he isn't quite sure what to make of. Doubtless Gus has already tried to charm this young lady too (his brother never learns). ]
