Amy hesitantly entered the busy sandwich shop. The aroma of good food greeted Amy. Tables were filled with chatty eaters. Amy glanced around the room looking for a waitress or a counter.
“Where do you order?” Amy asked a nearby diner.
The man with a sandwich in one hand pointed to the very back of the shop. Amy maneuvered her way to the back of the shop. She found a small open window with a small bell on the window sill. Beside the window was a simple painted sign marked ‘Order here.’
Amy looked through the window and saw no one.
“Hello!” Amy called out.
After a minute, Amy gave in and tapped the bell. Then she glanced around the busy shop.
“What do you want to order?” A hard voice asked from behind Amy.
Startled Amy asked, “Can I see a menu?”
The man’s response was to roll his eyes and ask again, “What do you want to order?”
“Umm, the special?” Amy said.
“One cook’s choice,” the man stated.
“Hey, Amy,” Amy heard a voice call out from behind her. Amy turned to look for the name caller. When she failed to see a familiar face, Amy turned back to the window. The man was gone and the window was closed.
For a second Amy considered leaving the shop. Then she sighed and asked a customer where should she go next. Amy was pointed to a window marked ‘Pay here.’
As she walked to the window, a man brushed passed her. “Just give him $5 and then move to ‘Food here’ window. Don’t talk to him. He doesn’t like it,” the man said into her ear.
At the ‘Pay here’ window, Amy found another bell. After she rang the bell, Amy looked up to see the ‘Order here’ clerk holding out his hand. Amy laid a $5 bill in his hand. The man took the money and shut the window.
Amy moved to the ‘Food here’ window and quickly tapped the bell. Amy gave the familiar clerk a smile and took a brown paper bag from him. She waved as the window was closed.
Amy hesitantly opened the brown paper bag. She took a sniff of the bag’s contents and gave low moan. Amy wasn’t sure what was in the bag, but it smelled delicious.
