Earlier this year,I was looking for part-time work.Moonmilk,a cake and ice
cream shop nearby,was hiring,so I went in for a trial shift()While I originally
just set out to earn some extra money during the summer,the bonds and memories I
made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck.
Once,a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place
an order.He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he'd had in stopping the theater
from being kicked out by its landlord.Moonmilk's owner was touched by the story
and refused payment for the cake.Later,the union leader-so moved by the
gesturedelivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff.The older women customers
are among my favorites.Their concern is poignant;they often wonder if I'm Okay and
tell me I look tired.
One regular,always alone and smiling,is kind and generous,always declaring
we have the best ice cream in the eity.There's also the guy who comes frequently to
ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor-that we only ever have at Christmas.I
always have to say no,but his persistence brings me joy,especially on days whenIm
tired.
