My only time meeting a celebrity
I used to work at the Good Guys in Walnut Creek, which at the time was a commission based audio/video store. I was just a cashier as well as worked in the car audio section, so I didn't make as much as the rest.
One day I'm stationed at car audio on a very slow day. In walks the big black guy that was in Pulp Fiction, Ving Rhames who played Marcellus Wallace.
He steps in about five feet from the front door, scans the room and then looks straight at me. Says "you look like you're about to fall asleep", as I probably was while I was leaning against a POS terminal booth.
Still standing there, he asks someone closer to grab him a cable he needs, indicating he isn't going to step another foot in the building. They sell it to him quickly and he leaves.
Never seen or met another celebrity in my life.
