Alex had dropped the wallet into her apron pocket and watched as the blonde left. Seeing only one bill on the table from where she stood, she briefly wondered if she had just been stiffed. Pleasant surprise flitted across Alex's face at the fifty.
"A little more than fifteen percent, ya think?" She said to nobody. Needless to say, her mood was suddenly in an upswing. She looked up quickly to see if the blonde was still in sight, but the she was already gone.
After putting in the blonde's bill, Alex shifted through the pulled wallet from behind the safety of the backroom door. It was definitely a winner. What kind of cow carries around this much money on them? She thought as she fingered five crisp twenties and two Benjamins. She folded them and slipped them into her front pocket beneath her apron. After running the credit card, she left it at the table for the woman to sign and dropped the wallet back into the jacket with nobody knowing the better.
Up a good one hundred more than she needed, Alex thought that she just might make it to CBGBs all her own tonight.
