"With all the stories, it seemed that Rosie turned a blind eye to anything going on", page 135
What does Hannah Baker mean when she says that?
From the text, we can infer that Rosie had an "anything goes" attitude, as long as money was being made and the diner was busy.
To me, Rosie’s had an aura about it. A mystery. In the stories I heard, it seemed like things were always happening there. Alex Standall, his first week in town, had his first fight outside Rosie’s front door. He told me and Jessica about it during our Monet’s Garden Café period.
When I heard about that fight, it came as advice not to mess with the new kid. Alex knew how to throw,
as well as take, a punch.
A girl, whose name I will not repeat, had her first under-the-bra experience at Rosie’s while making out between the pinball machines.
Courtney Crimsen. Everyone knew about that. And it’s not like Courtney tried to hide it.
With all the stories, it seemed that Rosie turned a blind eye to anything going on as long as cones were being filled and burgers were being flipped. So I wanted to go, but I was not about to go alone and look like a dork.
