I drove away from the hotel, there was one thing on my mind
Job
I needed to make enough cash to get back home.
I looked in every restaurant window until after a few miles of driving a finally saw something
HELP WANTED
YES !
The sign was pinned up against a popular-looking diner that was heavily laden with neon signs and smelled of fried foods and perfume.
I walked in, there were women almost wall to wall. I looked around, there were no male waiters that I could see, mainly female staff. I went up to the counter where a thin curly blond-haired woman in a white collared shirt was staring dreamily into space.
“Um…E..Excuse me ma’am,” I said, trying not to be rude. “Er..I saw the help wanted sign and I, wanted to apply for the job.”
“Mmhm? I’m sorry honey?” The woman was looking at me with curiosity. “You need directions?”
“Um, no, wanted to apply for a job here.” I said. “Can I please speak to the manager?”
“You’re talkin’ to her.”
“Um, O.K…. When can we do an interview?”
“Why not now?”
“Um, ok.”
