I went up to the counter again and the man in the red tie smiled.
“Another refill?”
Uh…yeah…yeah, another refill.
Why hasn’t that bus come?
“9 Sugars and 2 creams, right?”
Yes, uh what time is it?
“10:21”
Why isn’t the bus here yet?
I’ll take another burger. No onions extra pickles.
NO ONIONS Please.
Thank you.
What time is it?
“10:25”
Where is that bus?
It still isn’t here.
“Hello again.” Another coffee
I place the change on the counter.
There goes the dirt from my hands again.
I’m sorry, let me clean that up.
I wipe it off and more flakes come off.
“Sir, would you like another refill?”
Yes, I would. 9 sugars no cream this time.
Oh, and another burger make sure NO ONIONS.
Can you give me the time?
“It is 10:40”
I think I missed it. What day is it?
It hasn’t passed by for a while now.
Excuse me, sir.
Can you spare some change it is Christmas you know?
I’ll have a tea and another coffee.
“Refill sir?” Yes, just black.
“It’s 10:50 just so you know.”
They’re about to close. Where is that bus? Do they run today?!
