"Hello booth boob. What are you doing back there?"
"I thought you were off today."
"When am I ever off? Travis didn't charge you on that coffee, did he?"
"...Yes. But I'm perfectly fine with--"
"Travis!"
»What?«
"How long have you been working for me?"
»I don't know. Three or four years?«
"And in that three or four years, have I ever charged you for eating our food on lunch break?"
»I don't know? Probably.«
"Well I haven't! You ungrateful nitwit. All I ask of you is to not charge Dawn anymore. I don't care if we're short on the cash register five bucks, I don't care if she says she's fine with paying. Just do it, got it?"
»Aye! Aye! Captain! Anything for you, boss... asshole.«
"I heard that!"
"Why were you so mean to him?"
"Because he doesn't listen. I would've fired him a long time ago because all he does is hide in the bathroom and go on his phone but since he's my idiot cousin, I can't do that."
"You own this diner?"
"Yes. It was mine right after high school, I had no time for college though."
"That sucks. Everyone deserves an opportunity to attend college."
"It's no big deal. I'm doing what I love, which is feeding the town delicious affordable food made from my gifted hands."
"Cocky, aren't you?"
"You know it."
