burgers in a bag, ego in a cube.

Currently in Milwaukee. I had a very interesting breakfast at a local chain called George Webb. Your average North American diner with its retro fixings. I sat myself down at the counter. Took a while for me to get service but when I did, I ordered steak, eggs, and hash. The server asked me how I’d like my eggs. I said sunny side up. He proudly told me that he knew I was going to say that. He told me that as soon as he saw an Asian girl, he knew that there was no way that I’d order my eggs scrambled. I can’t help but feel intrigued by this evaluation. Before I spoke with him, I saw my neighbour receive her plate and noticed that she had ordered scrambled eggs. I was just thinking to myself how M would really like them and how I’d never order eggs, scrambled, for breakfast. For me it’s always between over-easy and sunny.

“White bread?”

I wondered if my server thought that Asians tended to order a certain kind of bread too..

Also saw this ridiculous this on the menu:

I’ve been carrying and playing with my Rubix cube a lot more these days. The one that A gave me. I’ve been leaving it on the table, unsolved, or half-solved and many people who come by ask me if they could play with it. I’m often asked if I need help solving it. And some people act that they were doing me some sort of favour when they’re done with it. One person didn’t remember how to finish it from where I left off. Ego in a cube. After one person solves it, I mess it all up again and put it back where it was.
