Seemore: Jenny

Her name is Jenny Seemore. And no, you cannot stop smiling when you say it.

But what started as a childhood nuisance exploded into a full-blown cultural moment last month, when a clip of her at a hardware store return counter went viral. A customer asked for her name for the receipt. She said, “Jenny Seemore.” The cashier, without looking up, asked, “Sorry, see more of what?” jenny seemore

I’ve heard every variation of ‘I’d like to see more of Jenny Seemore’ since I had braces.” A customer asked for her name for the receipt

As she stands to leave, the waiter at the diner calls out, “Have a good one, Jenny!”
