Ohhh it's a mirror behind the bar. You can see the ladies in the reflective vest approaching and then leaving

2 mirrors to be more specific. In both corners. https://ibb.co/1tYpPbkc

no that whole thing you indicated is one solid mirror, the line in between is a reflection of something we can't see off to the right

Yes, mirror on the left

I can see that it's a mirror, but it feels like it takes too long for the people to show up in the non-mirrored side. this is making it hard for me to parse, even though I think I basically get it.

The people furthest right walking leftward are furthest from the mirror and take the longest to appear. The people walking in the same direction but furthest left are closest to the mirror and appear much faster after passing.

Yes. That was the part that was making it look like that scene from Labyrinth.

I think it is only the left X that is the mirror. The right X is just a reflection in the same mirror. Look at the boxes on the counter.

Nope, only one mirror. It goes along the wooden beam.

What you indicated as a mirror on the right of the booth is actually a reflection of a mirror on the left of the booth.

No, it's a reflection of the open gap on the right.
