            This week my location is pretty normal. I noticed immediately that the girl I have usually seen working the counter is not here today. In her place is a young looking teenage boy. I have gotten my food now and I am sitting down. Now I see a lone man with a beard sitting alone with a laptop and earphones in. He is also tapping his feet to his music. Also, there are two couples here today. One couple sitting near the door are talking excitedly about something. The other couple is sitting closer to the counter in a booth. The man is wearing a hood, and I can’t see the woman’s face. I can only see the man’s face, and he has tattoos all over it. He doesn’t look so happy.

            Also is the room is a group of exactly 9 people, I’m not sure if they are all related, but they are all friendly and talking, some even laughing. It might just be two families. I can see a mother and father and maybe a son in one family, and a mom and dad, two kids, and two older looking children. I’m not entirely sure what is going on. Also in the restaurant are three guys sitting together at a table, they are all talking. One of the guys is laughing really hard now.

            The couple nearest to the door have been finished with their meal for some time now. They have just been talking since I’ve been here. They still look happy. The other couple is still here, and the man with the tattoos had taken his hood off, revealing more tattoos on his bald head and neck. He doesn’t seem so unhappy now. The three guys are still talking and taking turns laughing loudly.

            Two girls are entering now, they are talking loudly about something that happened in the parking lot. The couple near the door are leaving now. They exit the restaurant and the two girls actually take their seats at the table the couple was sitting at. The three guys are leaving now, and they have stopped laughing now and are talking about homework for a class. They get refills before leaving the restaurant. The big family gathering is still going strong.

            After a while the second couple leave, still looking happy. Sometime later the big family gathering looks to be ending. The smaller family leaves after exchanging goodbyes. Soon after the larger family also leaves. The two girls who came in are sitting down and talking. The excitement from the parking lot may have been quite the experience, because I think they are still talking about it.

            The teenage boy with the earphones in is packing up his things now. As the boy is leaving a father and his daughter are walking in. As I am getting ready to leave the father and daughter have sat down now, and are talking. I leave right after a group of teenagers walk in and order.
