"Does it count if you work retail and they come into your store? I worked as a record salesman for years, and had the great pleasure of meeting and dealing with John Rhys-Davies ("Indy!") and Ned Beatty, both tremendous gentlemen"---I have a grotesque NED Beatty impersonation inspired by the movie Deliverence.

Around 1982/1983 (at the height of the 49'ers popularity, I served Joe Montana at the Safeway Deli in Belmont, Ca where I was working at the time (two pounds oh headcheese, please). No, I don't know what he ordered because I didn't recognize him. He was on friendly terms with the manager and after I was done he talked to Larry the store manager not to complain that I didn't give him special treatment, but to say what a great employee I was and the the realized I had no friggin' clue who he was. (I'm not a sports fan-I'm a women fan). I think he was happily surprised to be treated like a nobody for a change.
