maybe he's drunk?

Tan Loafer Louie lives in the neighborhood and comes in every day for his jolt of coffee. He was in today wearing sunglasses. This is something he does quite often, though I don't think I noticed it until today though.

Today, he leaned over the counter to tell me how good business is for him. As he said, "biznissss is goooood" he pulled down his sunglasses. I noticed immediately his eyes were extremely bloodshot. I mean red, not just pink.

As he turned to leave I got back to my business of making a "wet" cappuccino...a post for another day...and didn't think any more of it.

Moments later my co-worker came over and said, "I think TLL was drunk!"

"Why?" I asked.

"Didn't you smell the booze?"

"Nope. Of course I am standing above steaming milk."

"Explains the shades."

So, now I imagine I'll pay attention to it on the days he leaves his sunglasses on...
