Just eaten a filling bit of Shepherd’s pie in the café and
am now sitting back to observe. Mum is arguing with her phone; parent +
smartphone, who thought that was a good idea?
Unsurprisingly the café is about a fifth full of people
eating lunch. The only ones I can see from here are an older couple, but they’re
just leaving. However, in their place there are now two teenage girls, who
approached the table cautiously… A police officer with a clipboard has just
walked down the store with a bloke in a suit, which could be potentially
interesting, but they’ve passed out of my line of sight so I shall never know.
Anyway, the teenagers, I assume they’re college students, don’t seem very
lively or cheery. One’s on her phone and picking at fruit salad, a lunch break
to remember.
Just spotted a guy downstairs who spent ages looking closely
at the plants while I was eating; I thought he might be something of an amateur
horticulturalist, but why would he buy plants at the supermarket if he was? He
didn’t even pick any up, he left with 4 cans, some bagels and a few other
boring things precariously held in his arms. I guess he didn’t intend to buy
that much.
There’s a guy just walked in with sunglasses on, didn’t
think the light were that bright; he’s most likely come from outside and
forgotten. The girl picking at the fruit has a rather false face, I think it’s
the eyebrows, they’re too bold. A woman downstairs has a baby carrier, complete
with baby, in her trolley. If I did that I’d stick it on the conveyor at the
checkout then complain when they wouldn’t let me buy it.
An employee just walked past with a Bluetooth device in his
ear, presumably for vital messages: “we’re running out of cornflakes, prepare
for carnage!”
