[SECURITY] DINER

I reckon there ain't nothing better than doing a good deed. It's mighty easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of slingin' coffee, always tryin' to get customers in and out as fast as possible. But it sure is nice to get to sit down with a nice customer every once in a while and lend 'em a sympathetic ear. All that to say, Mr. Wentz is mighty happy with his holiday gift we gave him, and he's now a right ol' fan of the Cafe and Diner. I expect him to be a repeat customer, someone we can turn to if'n we need some extra help, that is.

Of course, the elephant in the room, yes Mr. Wentz now looks mighty similar to our own No. 224, but I reckon it ain't too big of a problem. For one, Mr. Wentz has a less distinctive way of talkin', and he can't pick up on language like 'lil No. 224 can. Though, seein' as he does look like No. 224 and not like other tourists, he's still gonna be pretty dang isolated. Less so, I guess, but he can't really go around looking like he does and expect to make a lot of friends. Still, a right improvement to his situation if I do say so myself.

Tab is closed, paid in good faith. However, I'm still going to be thinkin' of a place where Mr. Wentz can socialize a bit. I'd suggest we give him a job, but we're already pretty full up, and he doesn't quite have the experience we're looking for. 'Course we could always still get him a flight back to Quebec, what have you. At least he'd be able to make some new friends over there. Then again, he's kind of grown to like it here in the States. Something to ponder, I suppose.
