'Fast Food Restaurant Description\r'
'Scene in a  stiff Food Restaurant. I push through the crowds of  modern people h everywhereing  kayoedside the automatic doors of Burger King, kicking the  untenanted paper cups and bags out of my way. Stepping inside, the first thing that hits me is the sound. It crashes over me, engulfing me, drawing me in. I step closer, into the midst of it. To my  left  get  enclose of sit a  youngish couple, anxiously  victuals their toddler chicken nuggets dipped in  tomato sauce. The  ii year old cries and whines, putting his hand up to his mouth as if to say ââ¬Ëno, no more. ââ¬â¢ The group of young people to my right  atomic number 18 laughing, shouting and flirting.One of the boys has stolen a girlââ¬â¢s  tremble and she leans across her friends, giggling happily, to try and snatch it back. I  put up hear the radio playing faintly. The newest, noisiest dance  handle struggles to be heard in the room  respectable of people, resembling a school canteen. As I  go for my way upstairs    I pass a smartly dressed businessman, holding a  chocolate-brown bag containing a burger, and his other hand to hold his drink. He has his mobile phone trapped  betwixt his ear and his shoulder and he jabbers away to his  co-worker about ââ¬Ëredundanciesââ¬â¢.An elderly woman, accompanied by two young, brightly dressed grandchildren, frowns at the man as she  dissembles her way past, children in tow. The  peck of the greasy, fatty burgers is  overpowering now, and I can hardly breathe for the  stink if freshly cooked French fries. They coat the floor, like a three-inch carpet, soft underfoot. I wonder why these restaurants  counterbalance bother installing bins â⬠nobody seems inclined to  substance abuse them. Spotting no empty tables, I make my way back downstairs to  format my food. I overtake the queue if people waiting for ââ¬Ëveggie-burgersââ¬â¢ and order large fries and a chocolate milkshake.The young girl who serves me canââ¬â¢t be lots older than myself,    yet she looks older, more tired, world-weary. Her shoulder  length hair hangs limp and greasy under her baseball cap, and her red t-shirt is stained with fat and fizzy drinks. The woman next to me has dropped her tray, and someone with a  sop up rushes to clean up the split cola, before anyone has a chance to fall in it. I smell the air, take a French fry out of the packet, pop it in my mouth and sigh. It tastes like grease,  wheezing and fattening. Looking around me, I decide to  honor a bench outside and, licking my lips in anticipation of my milkshake, I go in  face of one.\r\n'
