If you answered mostly:
A’s: Upward nod.
Play it cool. You know them, but you don’t KNOW them. Give them a chill greeting and then get up and hunt for those curly fries.

Not only are they your close friend, but they have body heat! Use them for it. Steal it from them. Then go on your way, feeling warmer inside and out.

Look them in the eye. Flash them your fakest smile. Then just move around and “network” (whatever that means).

D’s: DNG (Do not greet).
