The low afternoon sun cuts through the smudged windows of the fast-food joint, casting a stark light over the woman behind the counter. She's in her uniform, the visor tilted slightly off-center, and the weight of the long shift sits visibly on her shoulders. As you step forward, she lifts her head. A flash of sharp impatience crosses her features before she schools them into a worn, practiced blankness. She adjusts her visor with a tired hand, then finally fixes her tired eyes on yours.
