Practical Etiquette [Thursday, July 18, 2013, 2nd period]

Today the Danger Shop was set up to look like a coffee shop full of sleepy people waiting with some degree of patience for their drinks and breakfasts.

"Welcome to where I start my days," Josh said, gesturing around the space. "In a place where most people are severely undercaffeinated--or else they wouldn't be here--being polite is key because no one wants a skinny frapuccino dumped on their head."

Not that Josh had ever had that happen. Really.

"All right. Run through the simulation--each of you, like last week, will get a different scenario--and then we'll discuss how stupid people are."

Beat.

"Politely."

Needing coffee

Jim Kirk

Mercy Thompson

Mordin Solus

Alec Lightwood

Alexandra Jones

Alex Aaron

Alec Lightwood: The person in front of you is holding up the line by asking incredibly annoying questions about whether the oatmeal was free-range.
Alex Aaron: The woman in front of you walked off with your drink!
Alexandra Jones: There's nowhere to sit except the table with a guy with a laptop who has clearly been there hours already.
Bay Kennish: You're trying to get into the shop but a woman with a double stroller is blocking the way.
Emily Thorne: You just saw them make your drink with whole milk when you asked for skim.
Jim Kirk: The barista just put your order in wrong!
Marasiah Fel: The man in front of you just sneezed all over the place. Without covering up his nose. Groooooss.
Mordin Solus: You have no idea what to order and the woman behind you is sighing loudly and passive-aggressively about it.
Shira: They've just run out of drip coffee and are trying to convince you that espresso and water is the same thing. Do you buy it?
Surreal SaDiablo: Someone just cut the line in front of you and the line is out the door. You've been here fifteen minutes already.
William Murdoch: The person in front of you is trying to pay for their 3 dollar coffee with a 100 dollar bill.

Oh, this was an easy one. When Jim noticed that his order was wrong, he smiled at the barista, leaned forward and started to flirt with her. In the midst of that flirting, he gently let her know that his order was wrong, that it wasn't a big deal but maybe she could help him out?

Jim ended up getting two free coffees and her phone number. Score for him.

Mercy ...~~didn't have a scenario~~... went up to the counter to try and order some hot chocolate.

Alec could just endure the woman who wouldn't stop asking stupid questions. He was tapping his foot loudly, but he was enduring it.

Sigh.

Coffee? Not familiar to Mordin. Which was a good thing, because his liver didn't have much of the enzyme for metabolizing caffeine and he may have given himself a minor heart attack.

But queuing? He'd been to Citadel shops; he knew the etiquette. So he simply stepped aside and let the sighing woman go ahead of him until he could decide.

It took a little longer, but he settled on apple juice in a tiny bottle from the fridge next to the counter and happily hopped back into line.

Alex considered waiting for the guy to leave or asking him if she could take a seat at the same table, but she decided she didn't even need to be there. She took her coffee on the go instead.

Alex would have just taken her coffee instead but he'd heard her order and ew, soy. So instead he stopped the woman with a quick, "Excuse me!" and a polite explanation that he thought that might be his coffee, which was confirmed by checking the cup.

Hopefully with your coffees. Talk about how clueless people are!

Jim had two coffees so he was pretty set. That one hadn't been too bad.

"You got two?" Josh smiled. "Well done."

"I guess I'm just that good."

Or he knew how to flirt. Or both.

"Want one?"

"I never say no to coffee," Josh said, holding his hand out. "Thanks."

The best part about being TA was that Lex already had his coffee from the Perk. Mwaa ha ha.

"Oooh," Josh said approvingly. "Bring me mine next week. Black, two sugars."

Lex saluted Josh with his coffee. "Black, two sugars," he repeated.

"Possibly failed assignment. Did not buy coffee; chose fruity juice," Mordin said.

For those of you who aren't puppies/lizards/Wookiees yet this week.
