Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. The lunch break version is even more interesting.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Cairo? Glad you shared the messy version too.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop.
