Garbage

Stephen Dixon

Two men come in and sit at the bar. I say 'How you doing, fellas, what'll it be?'
'What are you, about to close?' the stocky one says.
'No, it's just empty for a change. Still want to stay?'
'Sure. Beers. Whatever you got.'

Interesting story about a bar owner who gets pressure from a garbage company run like the mob. The bar owner doesn't want to switch services, in fact he is damned stubborn on this count. Dixon makes a story out of it.
