"is it so wrong to live single" no, but given the romance tag unless there's some ace roommate twist/queerplatonic couple i imagine relationships would be unavoidable in this series
Tho it must be a pain to be a 'cute' /attractive person at a register and being hit on, i wonder how many ppl 'uglify' themselves on purpose or so versus just wearing masks or so (although it makes me think of that one tiktok screenshot of someone claiming to go to like a local cafe for like a month bc they had a crush on the cashier and then said the "usual" and the barista had no idea what it was, although as sad/pathetic as most ppl would find that story my first thought was like "how do you even have that much money/stomach to go that often"), let's hope he doesn't become a weird stalker tho i imagine working at a grocery store to pay the bills would fit this premise for now
"get yourselves a kid" lol i know it's common for some guys to dress that casually but that kinda outfit and hat makes me believe that would be a teen himself in an outta context panel
