Customers were always flooding on Mondays in Finer Diner and Gracie and Chloe must give the best service not their best.
Gracie deduced she might get home and collapse from the way voices were by now distant, the only thing help her work were the customers' mouth, hence she focused on their moving lips to get their order.
While on the other hand Chloe handled everything expertly and Mrs. Adam's volume rang at work, barking up and down especially if it happened to be a wrong order.
Gracie took most of the scolding.
Mrs. Adam had two side to her story, sometimes she would be extremely caring and jovial, supporting Gracie every minute against Chloe. And on the other hand, her mood or the standpoint of actuality would make her sour and bellowing.
"One milkshake, a plate of Reuben and waffles, Gracie." Chloe called out as her long black nails tapped the counter impatiently.
