burger day

It is currently 12:45 in the afternoon, and I am currently sitting in my field site with newton bros and skillet 360.  It is currently slow in here with about 10 people in the room. Almost all seem to be woman or young ladies. Only two men sit in the room. Two of the woman look to be about 30 if not older and the rest of the woman look to be about 18 to 25 maybe. I have seen four people get food from skillet 360 while I have been hear and only one go person has gone to newton bros. four of the girls are studying while they eat their food. Two of them study directly from their textbooks while the other two study from notebooks. Three more woman have come in since I have been here but only one man. I find this odd because skillet 360 seems to be more male oriented with large burgers on the menu. A woman sits in front of me with food from skillet 360, she appears to be eating French fries, and a grilled cheese. She also has a large drink. The one male that entered got food and a drink from newton bros. the girl with the grill cheese shares half with her friend who came to sit down with her own food. The girl then gives her half of her burger, she also has fries and a drink of her own. Another woman in the room drinks coffee while another drinks plain water, the rest do not have any drinks with them. The room actually has a scent to it today, It is the scent of bacon, they usually do not have this many customers so this is probably why it smells so much in here today. Many more people have entered, gotten food, then left. Of which only 3 were men and twelve were woman. Everyone in the room is wearing pants due to the cold weather. Many of which also have jackets but I’m not sure if they wear long or short sleeves.
