[b]Saturday, around noon, Chinese diner, Summer[/b]

Nigel- sorry, 'Erin,' was back in the kitchen of his Chinese diner. Being the delivery boy and the waiter whenever he didn't need to deliver, it was hard. And you know how in retail stores, there are shitty customers that want to get the lowest price. Well, sometimes, there are people like that here too. And those customers are sometimes TWICE as annoying. See, they walk in, Erin sits them, and they immediately ask 'Where's the discount section on thisssssssss menu?' So, after that, they leave you alone. 

BUT, some people still persist on those items. And that is the case for today.

"Uh, Erin, what's the lowest price on the Special Mega Beef Bowl?"

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL NO. "I do not understand that question, madam. That is an item on the discount section of the menu, and that is the lowest price." See, nobody purchased that item, because it was the bulkiest, biggest item on the menu, and you literally cannot finish it. At least, nobody did yet.

"Yeah, but it says 80 percent off."

"Yes, from the original price. That item used to be 6155 yen, and it was in here for 3 years. We have been knocking down the price consistently in those years, simply because nobody has purchased that for incredibly long. It is now 4924 yen, and that is 80 percent of 60."

"But what's the lowest you can get?"

At this point, Erin was incredibly pissed off and just wanted to get this over with so he could get paid. So, his bitch mode was activated.

"Ma'am, I do NOT have that kind of power around here. I am a lowly delivery boy, and a waiter, and I am getting paid minimum wage if you buy that item or not. I am trying to pay for college books for each year, and I only have one left. Those prices are incredibly high, and we are trying to make these incredibly low. I am still going to be a middle-class member of this continent if you buy this item, as I stated before. If I was higher on the totem pole and had more power, or the owner of the store, I would knock it down a few hundred yen, because I realize that having a good customer relationship will benefit future sales, but as of right NOW, the store is actually losing sales because I am helping gibbons like you, instead of other customers who genuinely want to eat. I am following the guidelines set by the owner, and I will continue to do this because of me being a lowly server."

And right before the customer had the chance to respond, Erin got called for a delivery. Oh the sighs, oh the sighs. See, he had to work here to maintain his job, and help pay taxes for his family, AND he had to search for a spirit who called a recent spacequake. See, it was hard trying to do all of this shite, and trying to pay for college books for next year. So, it was incredibly hard to keep things up like this.

And it would stay like that, forever and ever.

Not paying attention to what just happened, Erin was out and on his [s]swaggy[/s] scooter. Instantly putting the food that he had to deliver on the back, and his helmet on as well, he set off. But, he paid a small visit to the area where the spirit that appeared recently was, because maybe he would get very lucky.

Nope. Probably, it was a nope.

And then started a typical day, working and working and working and working and studying and working.
