I’ll Just Scoot On Past You, Then

After a late shift, I decide to get myself a quick bite before I catch my train home. I ride my small electric scooter to the fast food joint along my way to the train station. The place is empty, and I walk in to enter my to-go order at one of the terminals. I push my scooter in with me because I don’t want to leave it in the parking lot, and it has never been an issue before.

Halfway through my selection, I hear a voice addressing me.

Employee: “Hey, you need to leave that outside!”

No “excuse me”, no “please”, just a barked order. 

Me: “Okay.”

I turned on my heel and left. Guess why that place was empty…
