It wasn't every day she was actually behind the counter but for whatever gods-be-damned reason, here she was. With her Sunday morning barista having gone AWOL, Simone's usually quite Sunday morning management duties had turned into hell on wheels and by mid-morning, she was about done with the day she was having. It wasn't that she couldn't operate the place on her own, it was that she really, really didn't want to and really, really wasn't accustomed to doing so. When a lull in the usual Sunday morning crowd finally happened, she hastily dialed her missing staff member's number, only to be met with her answering service. After leaving a terse voicemail, she gave up on the idea that she was receiving any kind of help anytime soon and instead went about prepping as much as she could for the lunch rush so she wouldn't be totally caught off guard like she had been first thing that morning. The best defense and all that. She also took the time to finally have her first tea of the day, not at all trying to hide what she was doing as she custom made her own tea latte. If nothing else went right with this day, at least she could make herself a high quality beverage, just the way she liked it. Perks of being a Starlord's lifer. |
