Who: EVERYONE! :) Feel free to make new subthreads and play and stuff. ^^ The Bakery/Cafe is yours today!
When: All day Monday
Where: Baxter bakery
What: Grand Opening!!

Audrey had her hands full. Her delivery girls (three of them in total, all recent Hogwarts grads) had gone through a brief training as to how to deal with customers, stock the pastry case and drink fridge, and use the espresso machine. Audrey was on the register. It was an incredibly busy morning, but they were getting to customers as quickly as they could--and when people had to stand and wait, one of the girls brought out a tray of cut up cookies for samples.

Business was booming--which was what she'd hoped for today. A lot of people brought in their coupons for free cookies, and a lot of people didn't. Nearly everyone picked up a cup of tea or a cup of coffee with their purchase, upping the sales and revenue. Audrey was insanely glad she'd put in the espresso machine, because it nearly doubled her earnings. Things were going swimmingly. And all of the friends that came into the shop made it even more wonderful.

Audrey broke into a grin when another familiar face came to the front of the line.

	"Just a little bit." Eleanor only liked a little bit of milk and sugar in her coffee. She preferred it bitter. The kick helped to wake her. "I think I might need to stop here at lunch time too." Eleanor usually packed her lunch, but she wouldn't mind parting with her money at Audrey's bakery. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're more than welcome, El," Audrey said, leaving just a little room for cream and sugar. She turned back around and slid the cup across the counter to Eleanor. "I'm going to have some salads and sandwiches starting around eleven, and paninis and pocket pastas starting around four." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I will be here at lunch then." Eleanor smiled. She also made a note to stop here again on days where he worked a later shift and missed dinner at her dad's house. "How much do I owe you?" She really hated to rush, but she had to go open the shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Audrey laughed. "You'll single-handedly keep my shop open, you will." She grinned and punched a couple buttons on the cash register. "Two sickles." She responded, rounding down. "What time are you coming by for lunch? I'll free up some time on my schedule so we can have a proper little chat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"About noonish," Eleanor replied as she dig through her bag for her money. It took a few long seconds, but she eventually pulled out two sickles and a few knuts for the tip. "I never really know exactly when I go to lunch. I usually just pick the slowest time around noon to go," she explained. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sounds great." Audrey said, nodding. "I imagine we'll probably be a little busy around noon, but nothing like the morning rush. Come by whenever, I'll have things ready." She already had the salads ready in the walk-in. Pasta salad, tuna salad, egg salad, potato salad... it was going to be a wonderful spread. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maybe I'll stop by after work and we can hang out for a little bit?" Eleanor asked hopefully. "I'm done at 5 today, but I can stick around for a while if you want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That'd be wonderful! I'll be here at five. Swing by when you're finished and we can have a celebratory cup of tea." Audrey responded, grinning brightly. It looked like another wave of customers was heading in. "On me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks!" Eleanor smiled at her kindness, and picked up her coffee and scone. "I'll see you later!" With that, she turned and walked out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
