I roar into the parking lot on my scooter. My riding gear on this particular day? A slightly soaked swimsuit, t-shirt, and flip-flops. I hop off the bike and unlock the cafe doors. Within minutes, a line of sun-kissed kids forms along the building. Their bicycles are scattered across the parking lot. They push and shove and peek through the glass doors. I hear muffled voices saying,

"Is it open?"

"I think I see him!!"

I finish prepping the cafe and push open the front door. The outside air punches at me. It feels like Beelzebub's breath. The band of shirtless, shoeless, and sweaty kids push and shove their way inside. They pant like dogs for kool-aid, sweet tea, and popsicles.

Cups Cafe does not have a "NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO SERVICE" policy. I mean…we do ask that kids dress respectfully. However, with the sweltering weather lately, I decide not to give the shirtless boys a hard time. After all, I’m serving in a swimsuit that is still dripping chlorinated water down my legs.

Ahhh, just another sweet summer day at Cups.
