I enter the
coffee shop and as usual I go and order my beverage. A Chai Tea. This time when
I enter the shop it is rather warm. I was hoping to get out of the heat. I am
greeted by the usually indifferent employee who seems to be happy once again
this time. I seat myself in my usual spot and am waiting. There are two girls
sitting on the sofa next to me. One of the girls goes to the bathroom and the
other sits and waits. While she is waiting and man comes in and looks straight
at me and I look away hastily. Then I hear a girl a couple of tables away from
me say, “You found it!” and the man goes to greet her. He probably just looked
at me because he was looking for her. The girl who went to the bathroom came
back and is asking her friend if her hair is okay. The friend just compliments
her on how pretty she is. Then they get up to leave. Across the room from me is
a man who seems to be diligently working on his computer and doesn’t seem to be
very happy. An older couple enters the shop, orders and sits down next to the
computer boy. When the indifferent employee come around the corner you can see
the concentration in trying not to spill. She gets to her destination and gives
the couple their drinks. As that is happening a girl enters the shop and
immediately goes to use the restroom. She comes out but doesn’t seem to order
anything and sits on the sofa. I just noticed that the employee, Nick from my
first trip here is working. He hasn’t come out from behind the counter though.
Another older couple comes in the shop and sits on the table next to me. The
man seems alright but the wife looks to be really bitter. She leaves the table
to get napkins and complains out how dirty the table is and makes her husband
get up to see what the wifi code is. The girl who didn’t order anything takes
out her laptop and starts to work. I feel like that would be rather
uncomfortable. I just noticed that the shop bought new flowers for the tables.
This time there is white daises. A new girl just entered the shop and says to
the laptop girl, “Sorry to keep you waiting!” and laptop girl says, “No it’s
fine!” The new girl who I will call blondie puts down her stuff to order a
drink. An older man with a heavy looking bag put down his stuff as well but had
walked in before her and is ordering something as well. The older man I will
call bag man. So bag man retrieved his drink and walked to the back to sit in a
different area from where he put his bag. He realizes he forgot and comes back
to pick it up. He looks annoyed at himself. Blondie returns to her friend and
it seem like they are talking about school. Blondie asks the girl, “So why do
you want to major in Biology?” I don’t catch laptop girl’s response. I think
the girls are still in high school though. The man who was sitting across from
me working on his laptop seems to have become friendly with the woman of
the first older couple near the window.
Nick is messing around with the indifferent employee and is smacking her with a
cloth. I can’t see her response but it seems like she is playing around as well.
The bitter older woman just got up to use the restroom. Nick is now unloading
all of these oranges in the juice maker. There is a whole tub worth he is
taking out. The bitter woman just came out of the bathroom and is doing more
complaining. She goes to refill her drink. Nick now lifts the whole top of the
juice maker out. Seems to be a pretty fancy juice maker because it’s really
big. Eww the first older woman just took off her shoes and is putting her feet
all over the chair. Oh my goodness George and Robert form a couple times ago
just walked in the shop! The two guys I thought were professors? They just
ordered a drink. Another older man with a motorcycle helmet just walked in. He
seems to have a younger persona. While he is waiting to order he looks around
the room and when we make eye contact he smiles. Another group of older people
walked and order. One of the ladies comes up to me to ask if she can take one
of my chairs. Dang that the only thing anybody has asked me since I started
this. She seems to have a thick German
accent. The rest of her party sits down with her and they are speaking English but
they all seems to be from the same place. George and Robert sat too far away
from me so can’t see what they are doing. Well it’s time for me to go until
next time!
