Lunch at the Greasy Spoon

We had lunch at an eatery today that specializes in breakfast and lunch.   It was about noon.  Besides us there was only one other customer, and he was waiting on a to-go order.

I think there were only 3 employees there: one on the counter taking orders, and one cooking, and one cleaning up.  All three were in different parts of the building and all were carrying on a normal conversation.  They had to talk loud or bellow their words to be heard by the other two.

You can’t help eavesdropping, whether you want to or not.
