Another lunch rush here at the same food court that I previously
posted about. The lines are long and the people are still pouring in threw
every door. There is a pair of men sitting a few tables away from me near one
of the northern facing exits. Both of them are drinking coke out of a can which
I assume they may have brought from home. Another guy in yellow has decided to
sit at the table in front of me alone. It is the table closets to the Chinese restaurant.
He is dressed in what appears to be full workout gear, a yellow shirt, some
sweatpants and some running shoes. He has a reusable water bottle with him
also. He begins to sip his water while he waits for the food he ordered. The guys
drinking the coke cans carry little conversation and stare at the ground a lot while
they are eating. Yellow shirt seems inpatient as he waits for his food. He bounces
his left leg up and down while waiting, occasionally drinking some water in
between what appear to be texts. Today many of the woman who come in for food
are quick about leaving. They order, stand impatiently by the pickup area and
then leave quickly. While the men eat with each other or alone. I look around
to find only one woman opting to sit in here alone while eating her food, while
the other 3 woman inside are eating with a male friend which may be a significant
other. It has been about 10 min and yellow shirt has received his food, he has
gotten a burrito and eats it with chili. He still seems to be moving his leg
though, which may also be due to anxiety caused by classes instead of by what I
thought was impatience. The coke men are finishing their food and pack there
things. They leave and have not even reached the street in front of the food
court before a lone woman quickly grabs up their table. I make another interesting
observation as I look around, almost all the men seem to be wearing pants
although the weather does not seem cold enough for that. I see only one man in
the room wearing shorts, two if I count the one wearing basketball/workout
shorts. After this observation I look around and notice that the women in the
room range drastically in clothing. Some wear pants while others wear short
shorts with none in-between. I turn and behind me a man in a flannel shirt has
his stuff spread throughout the table giving the illusion of being busy while
he eats, but I have not seen him touch anything but his food. He eats his
burger quietly while looking out the window. Yellow shirt has finished his
burrito and sits for a minute on his phone. He then pulls out a quesadilla,
takes a picture with his phone, and takes a drink of water and then drinks some
of his soda. I assume the photo could be either for a social network or for
snapchat. He gets more chili before returning to eat his quesadilla. Another man
sits near me with glasses on. He eats his burger alone while he stares forward.
I just notice that yellow shirt is also wearing a purple bracelet with gold
edges. Glasses has finished his burger and now eats his fries while staring at
the attractive females in line at the Chinese restaurant. On a side note the
coffee shop actually has some business today. Workout dude finishes his food
and leaves out of the eastern door even though the northern door was much
closer. Mr. Glasses is now finishing his fries and is packing up to leave. I watch
him leave out of the northern door and decide with most of the people that were
here when I arrived gone, I too should finish up for the day.
