Everything with Cheese: The Bagel Adventure
Today has been an interesting day. I spent the morning working with my dad for some much needed cash. For lunch I went down to my favorite bagel place. Since it was well into the afternoon I was the only one there until an older Englishman sat down near me. A few minutes later he was met by a grocery clerk.

The English guy started to rip the clerk apart. He was talking to this middle aged man the same way a mother would scold a five year old. The clerk seemed to sit there and absorb it as though he was thankful that he had not yet lost his job. But after everything the English guy said the other man would reply, "Yes Peter. No Peter. I had not thought about that Peter." Each time he said Peter's name it was like he was trying to use it as a weapon against him. It said, "I resent your power over me." Since it was just the three of us in a quiet cafe I felt like I should have leaned over and asked them if they wanted me to leave. Instead I buried my head in my paper and pretended like I did not hear anything. It was painful to listen to. But I could not stop eaves dropping.
