EPTI was waiting on line, longer than usual, when my eyes came to be fixed on a jar of honey near the coffee section. It was being held by a girl who looked around my age (early 20s). The honey was being poured into a cup of coffee placed on the the table. Being someone who drinks his coffee with only a little bit of milk and no sugar, I thought about the merits of adding a tad bit of honey to the coffee I was planning to order along with my typical turkey sandwich.
But as I was pondering this, I began to take notice of the fact that the honey was continuing to be poured. Five seconds went by. "Surely she will put it down now" thought I, but NO, the position of her hand remained strongly fixed, and the honey flowed on into the hot cup of joe with what now seemed without any sense of remission.
A few more seconds went by, but the girl had a look of determination written on her face. She was not backing down yet.
A few more seconds, and I quickly glanced left and right. Was I the only person watching this?
At any moment, I expected her hand to turn, the jar to be lifted, the thick flow of honey from the jar's tip to the cup to appear thinner. I waited a few more seconds... But that moment did not come.
A few more seconds. The girl's expression was unchanging, and I seriously began to doubt if she was in her right mind.
Finally, after what I would honestly guess was something like 15 seconds, the jar of honey was lifted and once again placed on the table. I relaxed my eyes and took a breath. I began to look toward the cashiers to see how far the line had moved, but in the corner of my eye, I noticed that the same girl was now holding something quite small. I turned again to look more closely. It was SPLENDA.
Being dissatisfied with what seemed like half the whole jar of honey, she had indeed ripped open not one, but two packets of SPLENDA with a stern intent. I'm not kidding you, this girl meant serious business.
My mouth dropped as I watched her empty both packets of the artificial sugar into what now seemed more like honey than coffee. At last, she took a lid from the table and locked it onto her cup. With a look of satisfaction, she then picked the cup up with two hands and casually walked past my awe-stricken face and through the door as if this was something totally ordinary.
. Then again I don't drink coffee, so I wouldn't know very well would I haha.
