You head east, to the downtown area. It takes you slightly under two hours to walk there, and by the end of it you are parched. Luckily for you, there is a bar in the downtown area, seemingly waiting for your arrival. You enter the bar and plop down on a stool. Aside from you and the bartender, there are two other barflies present. Neither of them seems to be paying attention to you.
"I'm going to die anyway, and therefore have nothing more to do except deliberately annoy Lemur." -Orb, in the chat
"Lemur. Even if he's innocent, he's a pain; so kill him." -Ignoramus
"I'm going to need to collect all of the rants about the guilty lemur, and put them in a pretty box with ponies and pink bows. Then I'm going to sprinkle sparkly magic dust on the box, and kiss it." -Lemur

Go into the bars bathroom, where you expect to find a mirror, check how you look.![]()
You get up from your stool and are about to enter the bathroom, when the bartender stops you. "Restrooms are for paying customers only," he says in a neutral voice.

'What's the cheapest you sell?'
"Miller 64," the bartender replies. "Only 64 calories, the lightest of the light beers. $2.00 per glass." You notice the other barflies in the room now watching you curiously.

Uh, guys? Something to have considered: We don't have any ID. I say we leave the bar and do something more productive, like the grocery and get some actual food and drink.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
We're getting curious looks, possibly regarding the manliness of our drink, but perhaps someone recognizes us. We may be in for a bar fight, I vote we get the heck out of the bar and find somewhere else with a mirror, rather than getting thekicked out of us. It's a downtown area, there have to be other places with bathrooms and/or mirrors...
If we absolutely must do this in the bar, we should buy a better quality beer, nothing light, nothing un-american, possibly Budweiser, straight up. This is to quell the possibility of a fight over our character's choice of alcohol, nothing more or less![]()

If he has offered us a beer, we're old enough to buy it.
Running out will only cause panic.
This.
Wrinkle your nose, and say "Oy Vey, not that cheap. Give me a measure of your cheapest whiskey"
And yes, we are Jewish.
The bartender pours you a glass of his cheapest whiskey. The barflies are still looking at you curiously, although not as much as before you ordered.
$7 has been removed from your inventory.

Down it in one, and ask for a refill

Ask the bartender if you are allowed to use the bathroom now, if he answers yes, walk towards the bathrooms.
Guys... I was going to say "Walk into the mens room" but we honestly don't know if we're male or female at this point, guessing wrong could get us in trouble... or did GH mention we were male/female?

The bartender raises one eyebrow at your request, but says "yes". You exit your seat and walk into the men's room.

Look in the mirror to see how we look (male/female, young/old, color of eyes/hair etc etc).

You take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You look very hot and dusty, appropriate for someone who just took a 2-hour walk in a dry climate. You're wearing a faded blue button-down shirt. You have short brown hair and hazelnut eyes, and a very short stubble growing on your face. You look to be in your late 20s.

Open up your shirt and examine your body, checking for cuts, scratches, bruises, anything out of the ordinary.

You open your shirt. Aside the wound on your head sustained from the butt of the shotgun, your body is for the most part unmarked. However, there is a black ring tattoo on the back of your left shoulder.

I doubt we need to examine ourselves from the waist down, or does anyone think we have the need to?

Find a grocery store and get some water and basic, cheap, food supplies. Fresh produce and some bread. Butter or margarine too, depending which is cheaper. Drink some of the water and have a bit to eat after the purchase.
We don't want to dehydrate after two hours in the sun, and we have no idea when our last proper drink was.
Does the ring tattoo go around the arm, or is it a tattoo of a ring?
EDIT: keep an eye out for street signs wherever we go
