Still, Delonda felt a strong sense of discomfort when he approached her to read the menu above her head.
With only the counter and computer between them, she couldn’t shake the creeped-out feeling she had.
After what felt like forever, the man finally ordered his food. Delonda breathed a sigh of relief that their interaction was nearly over.
Once he had his order he’d be on his way and it would be the last time she would see him— or so she thought.
The customer continued behaving strangely, and as he was handed his food, he made a sudden jumpy gesture toward the garbage can.
He jammed a plastic bag into the trash can and swiftly exited the restaurant.
Delonda was curious about what he had thrown in the garbage but took a moment to decide whether she should investigate further.
She had a feeling that she should see what the man had thrown away.
She abandoned her post behind the counter and approached the garbage can.
All her years in customer service could never have prepared her for what she found discarded in the trash.
