Not going to lie - I got on great with co-workers I worked with at the bookies, great times, good laughs, shared all sorts of things, even some quite deep conversations on quiet winters nights when it was pouring rain...

...but...

...if I see someone I used to work with going down a supermarket aisle I go down a different one to make sure they won't see me and try to say hello.

It's awkward. Work pals are not your real friends. Simple fact is if you didn't stay in touch as personal friends after you stopped working together, there's probably a reason for that, and neither of you ACTUALLY wants to have to make smalltalk .
