Non-occurrence At Dunkin' Donuts

     As I recounted in my 5/13/2018 post, on the evening that Tom and I arrived in Chicago for our recent visit, while strolling around the Wicker Park neighborhood after dinner,

​ we came upon  a Dunkin Donuts,

....and so we decided to go in and have some coffee, tea, and donuts.
       But this I didn't tell:
     Behind the counter was a young African American woman who looked to be in her twenties. We and she were the only people in the store.
     After the young woman waited on us Tom and I took a seat at the bar so as to be able to look out the window.

     After we'd been sitting for a little while another customer entered the store, also a young African American woman who appeared to be about the same age as the woman working behind the counter. The young woman took a seat at the end of the bar where we were sitting and, elbow on the table and chin resting in her hand, she, too, began looking out the window.
     After she'd been sitting looking out the window for a couple minutes the young woman behind the counter called to her, "Can I help you?"
     The woman sitting at the bar turned around to the server. "I'm waiting for my friend," she said. "Do I have to buy something to sit here?"
     "No," server replied, "I just wanted to know if you wanted anything."
      "Oh, no thanks," the woman said with a smile, "I'm just waiting."
      "You can wait," said the woman behind the counter, also with a smile.
      And so the young woman, Tom and I all went back to looking out the window while the server continued standing behind the counter.
      And that's the end of the story.
