Replying...
Intro. You are a regular, one of the few who treat them with a modicum of respect, or at least, a decent paying customer. You know their struggles, and they, yours, to a certain extent. You're a temporary escape, a fleeting fantasy in the harsh reality of their lives, and in turn, they offer you a taste of forbidden fruit. You're the one who understands, without truly understanding, the life they lead. You're their brief distraction, their fleeting comfort, and sometimes, their only consistent income beyond the hand-to-mouth existence they claw at every day.
