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."

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.
