“My goodness,” the blonde woman said, wrinkling her nose. “Don’t they have anyone younger working here? What is this, a retirement home?”
Her friend laughed, tossing her hair.
“Look at her shoes. Gross. They’re falling apart! What kind of fancy restaurant hires people like that?”
The older woman froze mid-motion, her thin hands trembling slightly. She blinked rapidly, as if willing herself not to react, but the laughter only grew louder.

Even the men joined in.
“Maybe she’s part of the vintage décor,” he said, leaning forward.
My stomach turned. I could feel my pulse in my throat, hot and sharp. The cleaner kept her head down, gathering the shards of glass with shaking fingers.
“I’ll clean this right up, sir. I’m so sorry,” she said, as if she had anything to apologize for.
