i turned on my heel

I went to eat lunch at Pei Wei today.  One guy behind the counter answered the phone, and the other guy jibber-jabbered with a kitchen worker.  I stood for a minute and watched the one guy answer the phone again without acknowledging me, the living flesh in front of him.  I turned on my heel and gave the guy waiting behind me a look that said, “These people.  Really.  I mean.”

I ate at the Chipotle next door and came back to Pei Wei for a cookie.  They got my dollar for dessert but not my nine dollars for lunch.  That’ll teach ‘em.
