A lazy evening at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now.

The entire evening I do nothing but graze – some spicy pork and tomato dish over rice that a cook made up and I tried a small bowl of, and then a lot of gummies and also a big bowl of edamame that a table ordered as an appetizer and then practically never touched – and so I just feel stuffed and lazy and don’t even want to order any food to go for my shift-meal, and then when it’s time to cut down staff, my one (older) (Thai) coworker who’s a whiz at the phones is folding silverware, and I’m being amicable because I don’t really need to be the one to leave, so I’m like, “I can stay,” at which my one (older) (Thai) coworker who’s a whiz at the phones is just like bluntly, “No,” and then she smiles devilishly.
