Summary: A waitress named Mae and a cook named Al work at a coffee shop on Route 66. Mae likes when truckers come in to the store because they not only leave the largest tips, but also because she believes that farmers are thieves. A man and two boys walk in and ask for a loaf of bread, but Mae doesn’t necessarily want to give them the bread because she works at a diner, not a grocery store. Al convinces her to give the children some bread. Mae sells a fifteen cents piece of candy to the two boys for a penny instead. Truckers that see her do this leave her an extra-large tip.
