At a store called Quick Check, someone who normally works where the food is served smiled and told another employee that they are in the same place because my brother and I normally go there and sit in the place, but when other people normally sit at the same tables, which I have witnessed before, no one says anything about them doing it and my brother and I are mentally disabled they only smile when we do it.
