Funday Monday

    Today is very calm for a Monday afternoon.  As I arrive, I notice that even though they have free wi-fi, there are not many plugs to charge my laptop. A waitress than asked me if I was looking for a plug probably because I had my phone charger in my hand.  She helped me find a good spot and I connected both my laptop and my phone that was about to die.  I then notice that to my right there is a guy that I recognized because he came in right behind me into this place.  He was on the phone and seemed impatient as he persistently moved his foot.  After a few a minutes he asked me if he could borrow my phone.  I had this feeling about him that I couldn't bring myself to trust him.  He had a disregarding appearance that seemed suspicious.  So, I did not let him borrow my phone. 
   I then got hungry and called on the waitress to order food.  While I wrote down my observations. A older couple walked in and they were telling the waitress how they had not been in here for a long time.  They told her that it was ironic because they live right across the street. 
    The head waitress told me that I needed to pay already because the waitress that was serving me was going to end her shift.  So I paid and gave her a good tip, because she provided good service and was very nice. 
  Then my cutie arrived to keep me company and we started texting stuff to each other, because I am doing observations and it is a way to keep my attention.  It also gives me material to write on for this blog. 
   This place works better with my schedule and I want to make it a permanent observation site.
