The Bet

“I don’t see him anywhere” “

“What did you expect, it’s a Tuesday Night.””

“Slowest night of the week, he’s always late.”

“A little bet Cassey”

“Starting to think you have a gambling problem Mary.”

“Know I just like betting on stupid stuff.”

“What do you think Paul, how late is Frank going to be.”

“10 Minutes”

“Mary”

“23 Minutes.”

“I’ll go with 15 minutes.”

“He’s due in at 8, it’s 755 right now, so let’s see who wins, $10 each right”?

“Here’s my 10 Cassey, where’s yours Paul.”

“Here’s my 10.”

“And here’s mine, now we just wait.”

“And wait, and wait and wait – at least 23 minutes.”

“I don’t think so Mary.”

“Would you look who’s coming.”

“"It's about time you showed your face."

"I'm late. I'm sorry, but you know me, I'm always late."

“I win”

“You ass”

“You guys were betting on how late I was going be, how rude.”

“Not rude when it’s true.”

"If you're late again, you're fired."

"Now, Cassey, you know you will not fire me; you love me."

"I'd love to see you show up to work on time when you are scheduled."

"Hey Paul, help me out here; Cassey says she will fire me."

"I don't blame her. You are always late. Schedule says 8 PM, it’s 815, therefore you are late"

"Well, I'm here now; where do you want me, Cassey."

"Front counter, Jenny is done for the day; take her place."

" Hey Jenny, you out of here; I'm here now to save the day."

"No, Frank, you are late; I should have been out of here fifteen minutes ago."

"Not you too, come. On guys, give a guy a break."

"See you tomorrow night, all."

"Night Jenny"

"See you tomorrow, Jenny."

“Sorry about being late Jenny, I’ll do better next time.”

“No you won’t, you’re always late.”

"Hello and welcome to Shorties; what can I help you with today?."

"I'd like a number 5 supersized."

"Number 5 Supersized; what would you like to drink with that."

"Large coke, light on the ice."

"Large Coke, Light Ice, and a Number 5, will that be all, sir?"

"Yes."

"That will be $14.95, please."

"Here you go."

"Out of $20, so that gives you back $5.05; here is your drink; your number is 14, and if you have a seat, Mary will bring your food to you."

"Thank You"

“Hello welcome to Shorties, what can I help you with today?

“Number 3, medium, large Unsweetened Iced Tea.”

“Large Unsweetened Iced Tea to accompany a Medium Number 3, would you like anything else Miss.."

“No Thank You”

“That would be 16.15 please.”

“Here is 16.15.”

“You are number 15, we will bring it out to your table when it’s ready.”

"Hey Paul, how long on that Number 5."

"Coming up now."

"Thanks, Paul, here you go, Mary, all yours; it's the gentleman at the fireplace."

"I’m on it.”

“Here is the Number 3.”

“Thanks, Mary will be back in a minute to take it out.”

“And speak of the Devil here is that young lady’s meal.”

“Yep, I’ve got it”

“Not much going on here tonight, wish it would pick up”

“Always slow on Tuesdays you know that.”

“I know Frank, but Mary and I would like some excitement.”

“Don’t add me to your list Frank, I’m happy with slow nights.”

“Slow nights mean no tips, are you happy with that.”

“Tips would be nice, but not having to clean up after sloppy people is worth no tips.”

“You know Frank if you want excitement, the bathrooms need to be checked”

“Forget I said anything Cassey.”

“Nope Frank you opened your mouth, now go clean the bathrooms.”

“You know Cassey, tonight was my night to clean the bathrooms.”

“I know Mary, but Frank is being an Ass, and for being an Ass he gets bathroom duty”

“Remind me not to say anything.”

“Too Late Paul, have you restocked back there, being it’s so slow, perfect time for that.”

“Me and my big mouth, okay, restocking in progress.”

“You know Cassey, there are other things we can do on a slow night.”

“What’s that Mary.”

“We can do the How many customers in the last 30-minute bet.”

“Are you sure you don’t have a Gambling problem.”

“I told you I just like to bet on weird things”

“I'm in, but you guys know I always win.”

“You always cheat Cassey.”

“How do I cheat?”

“Last time you turned off the outside lights, so people thought we were closed”

“I did not Mary, and you can’t prove it.”

“I think Mary is right, Cassey always cheats and that’s why she always wins.”

“Frank, what do you think,”

“It’s Tuesday, it’s always slow, it’s been slow since I got here so I’ll say 3 more customers only.”

“Okay, Frank says 3; what about you, Mary?”

“Based on the last hour, I’ll go with 5 customers.”

“Okay, Mary has 5; what about you, Paul.”

“Let’s hear your number first, then I’ll give mine.”

“Okay, I’ll go right in between Mary and Paul and say 4.”

“Fine, Frank has 3, you have 4, and Mary has 5; I’ll go with 32.”

“32, are you crazy.”

“No I’ll go with 32, we doing 20 each again, here’s my’$20 for 32 customers in the last 30 minutes of the day .”

“Easy money, here is my $20.”

“Here’s my $20.”

“Okay, the winner gets $80.00.”

“Now we just need to wait and see who comes in during these last few minutes.”

“Ten minutes to closing, and we are at 4; looks like I’m the winner here tonight – Cassey win’s again.””

“We have ten minutes.”

“And what do you think 28 people are going to walk through those doors in the next ten minutes?"”

“There is a bus pulling in.”

“Bus, what bus.”

“That would be the Riley High School Track team coming back from the inner city meet; I think they might be a bit hungry.”

“Varsity and Jr. Varsity would be 20 students and 4 couches.”

“Come on in, everyone; we’ are open.”

“Damn”

“You ass”

“Not Fair”

“I win.”
