Every week two older guys who work for WC maintenance come into El Table and order the same thing.
One of them is tall with glasses, usually wearing a baseball hat.
Glasses: A large tea with a little cold water at the top, and these two cookies, please.
The other is shorter with a crooked smile.
Crooked Smile: A large coffee, please.
Me: Um, that will be...(attempts to hide finger-counting)...wow, I'm really um...sleepy today. (Gets out calculator). $3.35.
Glasses: (Looking at me carefully) I think that's $3.65.
Me: Ah, ha! Ha! Ha-yes.
Crooked Smile: (from the refrigerator) I'm trying to get the honey out! You think I can get the honey out?
Glasses: Lemme see.
Crooked Smile: Its pooled on the side of the head. (Holds up honey bear sideways).
Me: Here, I'll get you some more honey.
Glasses: Thank you.
I squeeze new honey into the honey bear and hand it to Crooked Smile. He hands it to Glasses. Glasses pours it into his tea.
Glasses: How's Oregon?
Me: Good.
Both: Alright, see you next week.
Me: Bye!!!
The exact same thing. Every time.
