Ok, this wasn’t going to be my first post but just saw something monumentally disturbing...
So at my local Taco Joint (known for its least-Mexican, Mexican food...rhymes with shell) when a family of four comes into order ahead of me. The mother asks what the two children want and the respond quickly and with certainty (with pleases and thank you). She then orders for herself and husband, they then walk to a table. All four then sit and wait without saying a word staring into space.
Me and my co-worker ordered and waited.
Their order is ready and the father stands with jerk, goes the counter, ask for exactly 5 mild sauces (receives more but returns the extra sauces to the cashier), fills their drinks, and returns to the table. Then the family eats in total silence, not looking at each, finishes, and cleans the table and leaves.
Now this might not seem like a bad story but you have to have some context. Some about the family seemed off….like really off. Nothing about the way the acted and spoke seem natural at all. They had an “air of repression” around them and I wasn’t the only one that noticed. My co-worker as well noticed it too, even the cashier seemed bugged out by them. Never have I seen kids that young so…non active. I would say drugged but they were acting loopy, just dead inside? Speaking of which the father’s eyes were vacant to say the least. They seemed to have "made silence" (I'm sure the restaurant was a lot louder before they came in and got louder when they left).
And not a sucky customer post but definitely a weird moment/sighting sort of thing.
