While some days were designated to be unlucky, sometimes other days were just unlucky by chance. Today was one of those days. Two of his cashiers were out with the flu - probably because they were dating and had caught it from each other. His manager hadn't wanted to call him in, but had, and here he was. He couldn't honestly say it was the life he'd expected to be living, but when he'd come back he wasn't honestly sure he'd be living any kind of life at all - so this was probably a step up from that. It was reasonably busy, but it was a weekend with moderately nice weather - for those who liked it a little warm. It wasn't as cool or breezy as he would've liked, but it wasn't drenching people humid and it was fine in the air conditioned interior of the restaurant. Once the lunch rush had died down, Bob figured he was free to go, but didn't. There was still the dinner rush, and on Sunday that was unpredictable. Sometimes strong, sometimes not, but he figured he'd at least hang out to make sure the second shift people made it in. If not ... well, he'd worked longer days. Settling in at one of the vacant tables where he could watch the door, he ate a quick, late lunch and was flipping idly through some paperwork he'd brought with him out of the office while he finished up his soda. Whenever he heard the little bell above the door ding, he'd glance up, but most people were interested in ordering and eating, so he didn't pay them much mind. All the same, he'd offer a smile and a nod to any who happened to glance his way. |
