Yahbut, where I work, the only handy place to get a sandwich, soup or
a bagel, for instance, is a coffee shop around the corner. I'm in
there so often that the staff knows me by name, not to mention sight,
and I can't help but think that if I don't put in a token tip every
now and then that what happens to my sandwich might not bear
examination. Paranoid, quite possibly, but hey! This is Newport Beach
by Balboa Island where people are a tad odd.

had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had
been as full as the waitress', it would have been a very
good dinner." Duncan Hines
