Gosh, today’s gonna be a mess.
[rn=NICK]
Well, that corona-shit’s kinda over, so people go off the guard.
[rn=DON]
I still wear a mask, though.
[rn=NICK]
Hey, what’s yours?
[rn=DON]
Oh, this? DEVOUR, Buffalo Chicken, Mac-n-Cheese.
[rn=NICK]
Oh yeah, that brand is kinda solid. Damn, I had to wait in line for twenty minutes to just get a sand and Frappuccino.
[rn=DON]
Food prices surge, but people still don’t wanna cook.
[rn=NICK]
The only thing I can cook is Nissin ramen. How’s your wife, Don?
[rn=DON]
She started to challenge a cooking class this Spring.
[rn=NICK]
Really? I thought your Korean wife can cook a lot.
[rn=DON]
Well, she said she wanna learn Western cuisine. She recently got her Citizenship, so we don’t need to pay extra tuition now.
[rn=NICK]
Is immigration law that complicated?
[rn=DON]
Americans like us have no idea, so I let my lawyer do everything.
[rn=NICK]
A, ha. My Japanese girlfriend in college said, they gotta take lots of steps even getting a part-time.
[rn=DON]
That Visa thing, huh. But, if immigrants marry native speakers.
[rn=NICK]
Visa shit goes away.
[rn=DON]
How about you, I mean, your girlfriend?
[rn=NICK]
Akari? Yeah, she’s really hard working with straight A’s. Unlike an aimless drifter like me.
[rn=DON]
But she likes your warm personality even your performance is often sloppy.
[rn=NICK]
Damn, earlier, I made a customer angry over the phone, hahaha.
[rn=DON]
Be careful ‘cause some customers escalate their complaints.
[rn=NICK]
I know, nowadays, everyone wanna complain about anything.
[rn=DON]
The pandemic changed everything.
[rn=NICK]
Hope it’s gonna completely gone soon so I can trip to Japan with my girl.
[rn=DON]
Absolutely. Oh, our breaks gonna be over. Let’s get back in business.
