Lemonade and iced coffee day 2
Friday, 6 August 2010
We set up our stand around 1:00 pm at the same place as yesterday. Nothing had changed. We could still see the impression on the grass where the table had set before, so we just used the same spot again.
It felt vaguely familiar and after we had settled in, routine started quickly. Nothing happened for the first hour or so. One of us walked around, pushing the stroller while the other sat and waited for customers.
The first customers to arrive where from Paulson Avenue, just around the corner from where we were and in visible distance. Two guys and a kid slowly approached us and asked what we had. Iced coffee and Lemonade. Iced Coffee? – What’s that asked the one guy, he had never had an iced coffee and didn’t know what it was, but besides that he only drank cola anyway. – How much the Lemonade was? – One Dollar. – He only had 50 cent but promised to bring the missing 50 tomorrow. – Kids usually get it for 50 cents anyway.
20 min later another car stopped and a woman asked what we had. She was all excited and got out of the car and introduced herself as Victoria. She explained that she run a motor coach and was about to go on a trip to NYC for a weekend shopping spree. They would drive there tonight, sleep in Jersey and spend all day Saturday and Sunday in the City before returning to Pittsburgh.
