Benjamin was used to upscale restaurants where the staff catered to his every whim, afraid of upsetting a man of such wealth. With wealth, power accompanied it. That was the way the world was, it had always been that way. From the dawn of humanity, those with wealth were looked up to with almost a perverse sort of adoration. He was used to it and it didn't normally get to him, it didn't normally matter one way or another but there were times when even hew grew tired of how he was treated. He had built himself into what he was and there were the occasions when he simply needed that sort of almost annoyed, rude service you may get at the diners that drew not so desirable crowds.
After an exhaustive week of work, Benjamin was a bit relieved to be able to step away from the office for the day. He had his secretary fielding calls and emails, he would return them the following day. He followed his usual routine, knowing full well that he had to keep himself going even if he had the day away from the office. Waking up early, Benjamin hit his in house gym before taking a shower and tossing on a casual outfit (at least for him) of a pair of dark jeans and a button down shirt. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his tattoos and his hair was left to do whatever it decided to. Benjamin didn't quite care about his hair, he didn't need to be as presentable as he regularly was required to be.
Heading to a local diner that he always drove by but had yet to stop at, Benjamin drove an all black 1965 Ford Mustang. He had updated a few things in the vehicle like the radio and the air conditioning system but little else, enjoying the old school feel. Parking near the entrance of the diner, Benjamin wasted no time in heading inside. He lingered for a moment by the host stand, his hands shoved into his pockets. The comforting noise of orders being taken, the sound of coffee being made, and even a few words from the kitchen was already enough to ease his tension. Benjamin had started his business in a diner similar to this one, they had an almost sentimental value to him.
