in case you were wondering...

About 2:00, lunch rush is dwindling.
 The short lady with the orange glasses cuts in front of the line.
“What kind of soups do you have?”
They’re listed right up here.
“Well, I can’t read them.”
Oh, we have chicken noodle, broccoli cheddar, toma
“Which has the lowest calories?”
Chicken noodle. Would you like a bowl or a cup?
“Could I get it in a salad bowl? It’s all he’s eating.”
I don’t think so, there’s only the group soup.
“nothing bigger? How much is that?”
14.99
“Just for soup?! I mean, soup is water, with some stuff in it.”
