No association, really!

Why is it the first question people ask about Marty is "does he work for Kroger?" It's like they assume I don't get outside that circle and all of my acquaintances live and work for Kroger. I know other people too, I swear! There's all the guys from Ultimate, and the volunteers with Give Back Cincinnati. Plus, I know people from kickball too (although most are through Kroger). Surprisingly, Marty falls into none of these categories. I actually did not know him at all before we were introduced. And I know everyone in Cincinnati, or so I've been told. Even Marty has noticed I see someone I know everywhere we go. Oh well, what can I say? I'm popular! :D
