"Will that be for here or to go mister?" I asked the customer smiling.
"It's for here unless you want me to leave" He said annoyed at and my question.
This is my daily asshole. It doesn't look like it but things will get interesting.
"No sir if we had the chance we'd have you eat here everyday" I ignored his rude tone.
"Oh so now you want me to get fat and ugly huh?" He asked.
"No sir, we don't want you getting fat" I said.
"You know what this restaurant sucks" He said throwing his soda at me. I managed to dodge due to his frequent tantrums.
"Yet you keep coming back to harass my employees" My boss stepped out backing me up. The man threw his order which was pretty big at me and left. I caught the burger and a good portion of the fries.
"He paid for it right?" Ms.Elliot asked. I nodded.
"You have it and go wash up" she said.
My boss is the best in the world, she knows what it's like to be a young adult in New Haven City. She gives raises most of the time and all she has is love for her employees.
I go into the back room where I sit and rub the salt from off me. "The guy hit you with a soda AND a burger?!" Mimi asks. I nodded and smiled shaking the back.
"LUCKY" She said. I ate most of it and gave my best friend some as well.
"Where's Mimi?" Ms. Elliot asked. She scrambled to get outside. My phone alarm went off and my boss ran into the break room. She rushed me to leave knowing I juggle two jobs.
"Yeah! yeah I know the drill" I said quickly changing into my shop rite clothes and ran out the door.
I biked down Main Street looking both ways, but like the old days I still almost get ran over. I looked at the television screens on display. "This morning almost 4 superheroes caught and detained." The reporter said. I stopped to listen
"This city has endured the hatred of all the Heroes for to long it's time we strike back harder treat every hero like a criminal, because they are, they chose to be heroes" Mayor Dewey said. I rolled my eyes and continued to ride
He has everyone hooked under his mind control spell of perfect diction and vocabulary. A few of the citizens can see through his bullshit. But those citizens come in very small numbers, unable to make a difference.
I locked my bike to the bike rack and ran into the side of the store.
"Jamie finally!" My second boss exclaimed. "I was beginning to think you were dead" he said smirking.
"Ha ha ha" I rolled my eyes in sarcasm.
"You saw the news?" He asked.
"Yeah I saw the mayor blab on about how the heroes are hated" I said.
"Notice how only the people in the city actually beat up the hero and let them get captured by the NSA" he said.
The No Superheroes Allowed is an organization that captures heroes and I think to send them off to the island of Solitude. I heard they have power suppressors that keep the inhumans from rising up and fighting. Still you get to have somewhat of a normal life, thats the only factor keeping the Island of Solitude from being compared to a modern day concentration camp. But then again those are only rumors. No one has seen the Island. Those who do don't normally come back to show their family pictures
