"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."

"Because it's not actually my break and I wanted to see your reaction," Jim said. "Coffee with half-skim milk, half-two-percent, and one teaspoon of sugar, coming up."

The guy shook his head. "No, that's all wrong," he corrected. "You kind of suck at your job."

Jim handed over a coffee with half-half and half and half-milk mixed in and exactly three teaspoons of sugar. "Yeah, well, you get what you pay for and you haven't paid me yet."

The guy stared at him for a second, then nodded slowly.

"Well played."

Then he grabbed his coffee and hurried out without paying.

"Wow," Jim said. "That's just like my actual retail job."
