There is a Customer None of Us Are Allowed to Serve

I work at the Lone Star Diner, off the road from Carson City to Reno. Diner name has of course been changed for obvious reasons–more on that later.

Why do I work at the Lone Star Diner, off the road from Carson City to Reno? Well because, kind stranger, my life plans didn’t work out. Generally, if you’re caught working at a diner past college–specifically, one in the middle of nowhere, it might mean that things aren’t going so hot.

But still, why this diner? Why Lone Star specifically?

I’m aware you probably aren’t actually asking these questions, but I nonetheless believe they deserve a response.

Of all of the diners in the world, what makes Lone Star so special is…

The pay.

The pay is fucking great.

There are maybe ten other diners within a 30 minute drive from where I live. Most of them average out to a little over minimum wage.

Meanwhile, Lone Star is whipping up a mean $50/hr.

And that hourly rate is due to one, single, solitary reason, no matter what anyone tells you.

Because of him.

Something special for you guys :)
