Overheard In Space Dock
It is the middle of the night at our airport and most eateries are closed. Most red-eye passengers are settling for whatever the vending machines can produce. Our airline has a delayed flight coming in, so I am manning the helpdesk to assist those passengers when they arrive.
From my airline’s helpdesk, I overhear two passengers arguing in front of a cup-noodle vending machine.
Passenger #1: “Is that it? Just, candy and soda and noodles?”
Passenger #2: “Well, what did you want?”
Passenger #1: “Like, roast beef, with some mashed potatoes and gravy. Maybe some waffles.”
Passenger #2: “That’s impossible.”
Passenger #1: “Why?”
Passenger #2: “Because those aren’t replicators, and this isn’t Star Trek.”
Not a wild interaction, but enough to cause me a chuckle.
