T’pest, part 2. Long firm talk with J’than M.

J. got a free şiş kebabı on W. 33rd St. from a customer whose initial order had been made incorrectly by a street vendor.

J. and I continued our conversation at B’way and W. 32nd St. outside the entrance to Herald Sq. station.

37th Ave. The handsome سلام worker was fraternizing with the adjacent fruit monger. The absence of any external signage bearing their name made the closed KLD appear to be out of business. Bag salad, sliced packaged Turkey and Jumbo eggs from F’town (23:24). Fat C’los(?) was sitting near the exit with his smartphone much of the time I was there and he looked as if he were sitting on a toilet. A male worker was sitting at the सागर/সাগর desk as I passed with his hand obscuring his face. Trail mix from DR (23:31–32). There appeared to be a new tall lumbering E. Asian employee there. Friendly Tom was my cashier.
