Random Scrap:
I entered Athena's one afternoon and to my surprise neither Rosa nor Juan were in there. Over the last weeks I had grown used to both of them - Rosa always greeted me with a smile and Juan explained how I should encourage customers to buy more alcohol so they would tip better. One evening Brenda left us to host a private party and both of them had highest praises for how I handled customers. Brenda was next door talking to her friend gesticulating with her hands. She was upset. When she saw me all I was told that Rosa and Juan were not working there anymore. It did remind of one of the calls from Brenda after a night shift. There was some money missing and she had asked if by accident I took some with me home. I thought it must have something to do with this. My second thought was that I could start working inside full time. But those hopes melted when Brenda pointed at the sign and balloons. I was back at my corner. The temperatures dropped so I didn't need iced water but I knew that I was not coming back inside anytime soon.
