Musing & Muted Monologues...

Trying to Make Sense of It All...

For those who have been wondering...I have a new story from my adventures at the grill downstairs...
Okay, so I walk in the spot to get some fruit to consume and I see there isn't any left, at least any that I want. So, I'm about to head out the spot when the lady at the register stops me.
"You didn't order?"
"No, I actually wanted some fruit, but it's gone."
"Oh, fruit...what kind?"
"Watermelon and strawberries"
"Oh, I have them get you some out the back"
Korean is spoken. The only thing I was able to make out was strawberries. I'm thinking to myself, "what did I do to get the VIP treatment?" Normally, when the food is put in the back around closing time, it stays back there. Period. Not so with these jokers. She goes in the back for like five minutes and then comes out front and puts it on the scale.
$7.33
Me: "wow...$7.33, huh?"
"$5 special for you...because you sick, okay?"
Shit...I felt I had to pay just cause she hustled to the back to get the fruit in the first place. It was a lot, a bit much actually. I copped it and said thank you before I left.
Them jokers don't play man. I came in the spot for the first time this week this morning, and ole girl was like, "You been on vacation>"
As if that is the only logical reason I could have been gone all week. Ha. It's all love tho'. Hustle like that can help you keep customers...I respect that. It ain't ass kissing, it's just being courteous. I dig that.
I'll holla.
