I’m not 100% sure on the 1908 but it was early on in a book that was from 1908-1913 so it feels right. If someone can confirm one way or the other, I’ll update.

    I always get a kick out of how into it the bystanders are, with all the joy of a child on Christmas.

    Reminds me of getting behind people at McDonald’s who finally get to the counter and act like they don’t know what they want.

    • You couldn’t have been thinking about this before it was your turn?
    • The menu hasn’t changed in twenty years.

    Thankfully you can just use an app or a kiosk so you don’t get stuck behind these people anymore. Also grateful to not have to wait for someone to write a check at the grocery these days.
