Slice of Life
I wait in line at the La Jolla Village Square Pet People. A short, middle-aged woman buys a large bag of dog food.
A hunky looking, mid-20s man rings up her order. His badge says "Manager." He says "Would you like help carrying this out to your car?"
"Oh that would be absolutely wonderful," she says.
The hunk closes his eyes and snarls a little when he says "NATALIE!"
A young woman with dark hair in a pixie cut looks up from stacking inventory, and approaches the manager.
"Never mind. If she's going to carry it out... I'll do it," the middle-aged woman says. She hefts the bag, and walks out.
