I was working tonight, and this guy comes up to the carryout counter at the resturant I work at.

He ordered a milkshake and said that was it, and I read him his total, like I do tons of times every day I work. "4.98," I said, and then it hit me. I was really about to charge this guy almost 5 dollars for a shake.

I instantly remembered Travolta's shock in Pulp Fiction when Uma Thurman ordered a 5 dollar shake, and here was this guy paying for it like nothing out of the ordinary.

I mean it has been 11 years since Pulp Fiction, but wow, a 5 dollar shake is now considered pretty normal! I guess.


I dream in widescreen.
