Sanitary Living [period 5, Tuesday]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

"Hey, guys," Hannelore said, waving as everyone filed into the Danger Shop. "So okay, sometimes when you want everything organized, there's other stuff going on, all at once, right? And you get kind of flustered and you know what makes that worse? Just setting stuff aside and acting like you don't need to make sure everything goes in the right place, because then it'll just get lost and you'll get more flustered and it's just an endless cycle and it's the worst ever."

She gave a little shudder, and waved a hand at the Shop, which was made up like a coffee shop. "My friend Dora at home runs a coffee shop, and like every single day, that happens. Customers come in, Faye scares them, they drop coffee, and no one cleans it up until the end of the day. Or they come in and ask for something with syrup in it and then the syrup? Just doesn't get put back. It's horrible."

"So, uh, I want you guys to prove you can do better than that. You all get to man the counter, and I'm going to see if you can deal with customers and keep stuff neat and up to my standards the whole time, okay? Because that? Is the real world."

Or whatever you want to call that rambly paragraph.

Man the counter! [08/14]

Ping in here, and you'll get a customer. Points from Hanners will be awarded for speed, messiness, cleanup time and final product/outcome!

Cedric took his spot at the counter.

A guy in a trucker hat sauntered up. "Uh, hi. Coffee with skim and whipped cream."

He affectedly played with his hat, trying to make his hair messier underneath it.

"Hello," Cedric said cheerfully and moved to make the customer's order. The order wasn't too difficult or complex so even Cedric managed to make it pretty well.

"Here we are!"

The guy reached for it and knocked it over.

"Oops," he replied, stumbling back lest anything get on his perfectly cuffed Abercrombie tee omg.

Jim took a spot at the counter.

A guy wandered up. "Can I get a coffee with half-half and half and half-milk mixed in and exactly three teaspoons of sugar?"

It's possible he just wanted to see if Jim would do it.

Re: Man the counter! [08/14]

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure," Jim said.

He didn't move.

Re: Man the counter! [08/14]

The guy looked expectant.

"...like now?"

Inara took her spot behind the counter and tried not to flash back to stupid people class.

A guy with a goatee sidled up. "Can I have a grande tea without the bag and perfectly steeped?"

Re: Man the counter! [08/14]

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"Yes, of course," Inara said, pleased that he'd asked for something she knew how to do. "Do you have a preference which kind of tea? And would you like that in a china mug?"

She couldn't even bring herself to ask about paper cups.

Re: Man the counter! [08/14]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

The guy eyed her, surprised she was being all nice about it. "Uh, sure, and what kind of tea do you think is best?"

This probably wasn't too different from manning the counter at the sandwich place in that other class, right? It wasn't like coffee shop customers could possibly be any worse.

So Hermione was feeling pretty good about this when she stepped up to the counter.

Re: Man the counter! [08/14]

A girl with her lip pierced wandered up, studying the menu.

And studying the menu.

And some more.

She might be here awhile, really.

Re: Man the counter! [08/14]

[smartestone]

"Welcome to... um, the coffee shop," said Hermione. "How can I help you?"

Re: Man the counter! [08/14]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

"I'm still deciding," she said brightly, and continued reading the menu.

She was almost halfway through!

Talk to Hannelore and/or Winslow [08/14]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

The latter of which might seem a bit less cheery than usual. Poor little guy.

OOC [08/14]

I naturally scheduled this one for the day I have to do my academic advising consultation at school and then go to work, so I'll have to pick up pings tonight! Apologies!
