Restaurant tidbits (2 of 5): Eggroll sauce.

At the (Thai) restaurant where I now work, I had an evening training shift, and this (very early 20s) (stringy) (blonde) undergraduate in counselling with a very (blase) expression showed me how to pour eggroll sauce from these big plastic industrial strength jars into these little plastic cuppies for takeout.

"So is that all I need to know?", I was like.

"Yeah," she was like, "Except sometimes it's pink, and sometimes it's yellow."

And, she gave a sharp little laugh that was nonetheless somehow authentic.

"It's just like that, we really don't know why."
