Tall, Dark and Coffee Cafe

He unties his apron from his waist tossing it in the small cubby behind the bar counter. “Finally~”

Nicole took a look at her listing for new host and cashier. She did not think that she would need to find employees again already when she thought she finally got a good team. "We gotta do better, Coley." She sighed sitting at the corner booth sipping her coffee before taking a bite out of the blueberry muffin only to spit it out. "damn it. I need to make a new batch." The week was not going according the plan at all.

Nicole rushes in gathering her hair up only a pony tail after dropping her personal belongings behind the counter. Her next inventory stock is coming in and she gotta make sure to stock the currently one fully on the floor before she runs out of storage.

(PAYROLL DONE!)

@† Bambi Naka She hunched forward, rubbing her palms against each other when you accepted her invitation and joined her at the table. Her legs swinging back and forth, feeling the need to calm her nerves. "Ah..yeah..." She chuckled, rubbing her nose as your words are true. "It's an annual thing. My friends wanted to gather and go hunt a few bears using weapons instead." She lied and immediately raised her hands calling for the server to make another cup of coffee for you. "Sandara." A hand placed on her chest once her gaze falls on you. "I'll shake your hand, but you know..." Hands raised, dried blood painted part of fingers crimson red.

@დ Jung Nicole Dumpling had just happily shown a new customer to a table and was making his way back to his designated spot, a little prance in his step as a song played in his head. He as loving his new job. People cooed and fussed over him all the time, and he got slipped little snacks every now and then. It was definitely the best job in the entire world. He was the luckiest of lucky tanukis, he was practically glowing he was so happy. 'Miss Nicole!' He greeted his boss cheerfully, his tail wagging furiously in excitement. 'I wouldn't tell a soul! Stays between us, promise!' He knew that Bambi and Taemin might give him a little bit a disapproving frown, but as long as Dumpling kept up his exercise then they wouldn't get too upset with him sneaking a few snacks once in a while, or a couple times a day.

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo The two snacks are free when you're working. Any left overs can be split and taken home.
I make my own batch for Sir Dumpling and if a little wolf wonder in, please feed her some too.
/Points to the sink/ please remember to wash hands before grabbing them for the customers

/the ghouls pulls on the second leveler moving back when the steam burst upward. He smiles taking in a deep inhalation if the aroma of coffee beans. After preparing the crimson latte a vampire special caffeinate beverage he placed it on the counter calling out the number for the server to collect./

@დ Jung Nicole /follows you to the cases of bakery and pastry goods when you command me to
Will I have for them too if I wanted some?
/tilts my head as I look at you

@დ Han Jisung ¥✔ Nicole emerges from the kitchen area with a tray of freshly baked sweets when she sees Sir Dumplings roaming around before taking his spot at the front. "Gotta get a seat made for the front." Displaying the treats neatly by flavors and species, Nicole grabbed the cookies making her way over to the front. "Hungry?" She squat down a bit with the cookies. "Don't tell your owner that I'm feeding you goodies though."

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo That's great. If there's anything that's ever too much and you need a break from, let me know as well. My goal is to make sure you enjoy your time here and grow.
If you can follow me. /she moved towards the baked good display case/
Please feel free to grab snacks twice a day when you're working. And let us know if we can improve it as well

@დ Jung Nicole I'm actually up for anything so hit me with your best shot~
/looks at you with sincerely eyes even though I'm smiling
I don't mind learning anything in this cafe since it seems to be different from the small cafes I used to work at

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo ohhh /she remembered something looking at him/
If theres anything you want to learn in the cafe, we're always ready to teach.
It's actually very easy here

@დ Jung Nicole I'll do my best to not let you down
/smiling as ever since I'm very thankful for giving me a chance to work with you
The feeling's mutual~

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo /She smiles at the other, thankful for their help/
Just Nicole. I'm good with everyone calling me Nicole.
Thank you for applying. I'm excited to see how you work with us here.

@დ Jung Nicole Yes, ma'am~
/smiles after being instructed to make sure I respect everyone, even you
No, that's it for now..if I do, I will do keep those in mind..and thank you for giving me a chance to work here..it's a pleasure to be working here with you

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo no concerns or warning. Just be respectful and have a good time with the staff and customers here.
Also, if there's anything that you need, you can come talk to me. I'm trying to make things a little better around here and the diner since i first took over so it's a learning process for me too.
/looks at the cafe/ oh do you have any questions or concerns?

@დ Han Jisung ¥✔ <you have been paid for the month of Jan. Sorry that it took so long. Thank you for being active in your job and paying citizen tax. ~love, Emily>

@დ Jung Nicole Alrighty then
/hums softly as I nod my head while listening the instructions very carefully so that I know my way around the cafe
Is any concerns or warnings that I need to be wary of?

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo Yes yes. See you got it. /Claps her hands excitedly/
Most of the times they're in a pitcher premade for the hour or so already.
Baked good will just need to be put in the oven but overall simple. Our awesome host Jisung will be around as well to help serve. He's pretty much the cafe mascot at this point.

@დ Jung Nicole Ah, okay okay. Got it.
/nods my head since I'll be mostly handling the cash register machine
You meant like the basic teas like green tea and iced tea, right?

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo No no. I normally do the baking. You'll mostly just be getting them or getting them set up nicely for the customer who's dining in.
/Thinks for a bit/ I think drink wise, it's only tea that you really set up unless they want something super fancy then yongguk got it.

@დ Jung Nicole Yes I do, ma'am.
/respond politely when you asked me about cafe food like coffee, tea, and pasteries
If this is part of the job, I don't really mind making it too in case if a coworker is occupied with other customers

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo That's no worries. As long as you do your job and is willing to learn and enjoy your time here, I'm not too worried.
/She gave him a small nod/ alright. Do you know anything with coffee, tea and pastries?

@დ Jung Nicole I actually do because I used to work in a couple of small restuarants and cafes..but those didn't last long due to fiancial issues and ended up being laid off a lot..
/rubs the back of my neck

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo Oh goodness. /quickly wipes my hands down before coming out from behind the counter/
Hello Hyunwoo. I'm Nicole. Owner and manager. Haha. My apologies. It's been hectic lately but it's a pleasure to finally have a cashier.
Do you have any experience in handling cash and taking down orders?

@დ Jung Nicole Hi, I'm Kim Hyunwoo
/gives out a bright smile as I mirror action, feeling a little embarassed of myself
I'm your new cashier for this establishment

@♅ Kim Hyunwoo /here's the little jingle I set up looking up at the new face/
Oh. hello hello. welcome in to our Tall, Dark and Coffee. /Bows my head a little at you/
How can I help you today?

@დ Jung Nicole [On it]

/smiles softly as I walk in here since I actually got accepted as a cashier
