Did you want to split the check?

Zahra Weidmann

“We’re getting there early, so TSA can do the stupid swabs again.

It’s like ‘pre-check’ means nothing.”

 

“Do you have an account with us or would you want to set one up?

I love your names, Charisma and

Zahra, so  

exotic.”

 

“We’ll have that Chai Tea Latte ready over there.

Have a good one!" 

 

“OH  

she’s your mom?”

 

“Yeah, it’s pronounced a bit like

Sarah, oh the ‘h’ in the middle is

sort of silent too

You should look up what it

means.”

 

“I don’t know how to say this…

but how come your names don’t match?

Like, ‘Wiedmann’ is German right? 

And ‘Kumar,’ isn’t that like...

Indian 

or something?”

 

“Did y’all want to sit inside or

out?

Everything going alright for you

two?

How were you ladies planning to

split the check tonight?”
