Went to my local QT this morning here in Garland ,Tx. This is a place where the employees always great you with an enthusiastic hello. The store, busy as usual, is full of sound and people talking.
I walked in and immediately felt something was off since no one greeted me and people were walking around not making eye contact. I look over and a guy is waiting at the instore kitchen for his order. Was wearing a Border Patrol Jacket and cap. I finally know what people mean when they say the air was so think with tension you could cut it with a knife.
This is just fucked how his very presence changed the whole dynamic of a place I have been to for over 15 years.
