The Electric Café (Part 2)

"Did you see that thing around his neck?"
"Yeah, and I don't think it's from Tiffany."
"I wonder what it is..."
"Let's ask the waiter, shall we?"
"Yeah why not."

When Wan came over, I waited till he had safely placed our drinks on the table before venturing to ask him what that piece of bling around his neck was all about.

"Ey 'dik, amende kat leher you tu?" (Hey dick, what's that thing around your neck?)
"Ahahha...encik tanya boss lahhh..." (Why don't you ask the boss?)
Maybe it was a trick of the light, but I noticed a slight twitch on his face as he walked away.

"That's weird."
"Yeah I know eh."
"Aiya, should've asked him about that stupid button on the table too."
"Never mind, I'll ask the boss. Ehhh, who's the boss la?"
"Must be that hairy guy with the calcium-deficient body."
"Which one? The one who's talking to the fat guy?"
"No la! The one who's sitting at the table in the corner."
"Him? What makes you think it's him? Doesn't look like a boss to me."
"I saw him ordering the waiters and waitresses around."
"That doesn't make him a boss. Maybe he's the supervisor."
"Well does it matter? If he's the supervisor, he's in charge, so he'll definitely know what's up with that collar thing around the waiter's neck and that oversized nipple on every table."
"Hey I think every waiter and waitress has that same piece of thing around their neck. I think it looks pretty cool lahhh, maybe they sell them here, some sort of jewellery. Maybe that's why they get the waiters and the waitresses to wear them. Advertising mahh..."
"Don't know lahhh, hey look the boss is coming over..."
"Maybe we can buy a pair, one for you, and one for me..."
