Today in the cupcake store, while I was there by myself and helping a customer, a man came in with a white bowl with flowers on it. Without hesitating, he put it by the wall in front of the cash register, declared "this is for the water," then immediately left.

Neither I or the customer knew quite what to make of it, since the man was definitely not the landlord, there was no water drip, and the man didn't stay around to clarify.

So now, a white flowered bowl that smells like ashes sits outside of Coastal Cupcakes, apparently for the water.
