The Cafeteria

"Oh, fuck you, jerk and your motherfucking ride," said the man taking his family away.
            Ani hadn't had enough time to get over from the shock when a black skinny girl came up to her and said:
            "You've got a ten-minute break."
            The break was like a salvation to Ani. She sighed relieved. She was not really hungry but she decided to go to the cafeteria to investigate the surroundings and buy some refreshments.
            There were two restrooms for both sexes in the cafeteria. Ani took advantage of the situation and used the bathroom. It was not clean. There were paper towels all over the floor: someone had obviously displayed her refined manners. There was an automatic dryer there, too, but strangely enough it was out of order.
            She left the restroom and walked towards the food counter.
            "Excuse me," she heard an indignant voice behind her, "I was ahead of you."
            "Sorry?"
            "I was here first, it's my turn to order. You snooze, you lose, huh?"
            Poor Ani didn't realize that she went ahead of that thick aggressive girl. She just hesitated for a second that was enough for the girl to jump ahead and start ordering.
            "Lemme have a double cheeseburger, two apple pies, an order of French fries and a super sized coke."
            "Your total is five dollars and seventy-five cents," said the front girl, collected the money and continued, "here's your receipt. Have a good one. Next please. Can I help you?"
