THE COFFEE SHOP AU MEME

It's a coffee shop. You're a hot barista, or just visiting because of the hot barista. It's a hot summer day, so why not go for a Grande Special Deluxe Western Style Low Sugar Peppermint Macchiato? Or just a simple pumpkin spice latte that is, for the sake of convenience, available all year round.?Either way, this is a setting-based meme, so take it from here however you please!

[redpaladin]

[Can be the ill-tempered barista working here to save up for school. Makes the best damn coffee ever, but good luck getting much conversation out of him.]

[He can also be the student who always sits off to the side with his homework and headphones for several hours a day. He drinks probably the sweetest drink on the menu. Bother him if you dare.]

[lancerpanther]

[Would you be interested in some coworker shenanigans?]

[redpaladin]

[Oh my god yes. They would be the worst coworkers.]

[lancerpanther]

[Terrible coworkers, here we go!]

[For every way that Keith is amazing at making coffee, Lance is pretty much the worst. If he's not spilling drinks on his partner, he's screwing up the order codes or holding up the line by flirting with a cute girl just trying to get her day started. It's truly a miracle he hasn't gotten fired yet.

Today is no different as the morning rush is thankfully dying down. Lance has just been turned down for the fifth time and is sulking as he incorrectly writes down the code for a mocha latte when it should be a white chocolate latte.

Setting the cup down in Keith's station he leans against the barrier, almost knocking a stack of cups over in the process.]

Is it almost time for breaks yet?

[redpaladin]

[Keith has definitely gotten to the point of not bothering to question the orders. He figures about 50% of them are wrong and if they come up to the bar to complain then he just redoes them. It's twice the work for him, but it keeps things moving a little more smoothly than him arguing at Lance every five minutes for mucking up his job.]

[he's probably correcting an order right now when he does that. He gives him the single most dead-eyed stare before he goes back to work.]

Taking a break would indicate you've done any work at all since your shift started.

[lancerpanther]

Excuuuuuuuuuse you? I have been doing tons of work! Did you somehow not see all those people who were just in here that I took money from?

[Never mind the fact that at least a fifth of them had their order screwed up. That is TOTALLY not his fault.]

[redpaladin]

I did. It's directly proportionate to the number of drinks I had to make twice because you wrote the wrong thing on the cups. Again.

[Not to mention all the flirting.]

[lancerpanther]

What?! Don't try and blame me for your screw ups!

[redpaladin]

[He holds the cup he just gave him, looks at it and then turns it so Lance can't see the writing.]

What did your last customer order?

[lancerpanther]

They ordered whatever I wrote on that cup.

[Smooth Lance. Very smooth.]

[redpaladin]

[...]

[Scratches out his writing. Then he gives him the single most bored stare and flat tone.]

Oh no. It looks like I can't read the cup. Looks like you'll have to write it again.

[lancerpanther]

UGHHHHH, you're such an jerk!

[He snatches the cup from the other's hand, trying to read through the scribbles. Grabbing his sharpie he clicks it and hastily writes the code for a white mocha. That's close enough right?

Lance then practically shoves the cup into Keith's face.]

There!

[redpaladin]

[Whether or not it is, he takes it back with a glare and goes about making it.]

[Once he's done he slides it over to the pick-up counter.]

White mocha, hot!

[Now, he guesses he'll see if he actually screwed up or not. He side-eyes him.]

[lancerpanther]

[Lance watches the crowd with an air of confidence. He actually doesn't care if he got it right or not, because regardless Keith is most likely going to end up annoyed and that's all that matters.

He's grinning like an idiot when the gentleman who ordered last walks up to the counter and asks the barista if the drink there is a white chocolate latte.]

"Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?" And here comes one of his friends, the dorm's resident photographer as she settles down into the seat across from him. "Especially when it's so close to midterms..."

[redpaladin]

[He looks up from his books with a frown. He huffs a sigh and shrugs.]

Class is just studying for mid-terms anyway. I get more work done here than I ever do in class.

[summerorange]

[Natsumi doesn't look too convinced, even as she sets her drink aside and start pulling out a notebook.]

Still, isn't attendance part of the grade?

[redpaladin]

I have one more absence left to use.

[before it was going to start affecting him anyway. He also ...didn't get along with a lot of the class. He was the typical loner and didn't talk to many people. Natsumi is likely one of few people he actually deigns to talk to. Probably because she's just as stubborn as he is.]

[summerorange]

[Natsumi huffs and looks over the top of her notebook at him in frustration. Really, he's one of the few guys that she can handle being around with; at least he's not trying to hit on her every other minute.

Not that she's going to tell him that, of course.]

Still, you shouldn't be missing so much of the class. What if the teacher goes over something that's not found in the books?

[redpaladin]

[To that he just shrugs.]

Then I guess I miss it. It hasn't been a problem before, though.

[Sorry he doesn't get much less frustrating than this. At least he's pretty damn gay so Natsumi doesn't ever have to worry about being hit on.]

[greenpaladin]

[And guess who is just sweeping in on the chair across from him without hesitation.

This very tall, young classmate. Say otherwise and you'll get punched in the dick.]

Watcha got there? [Is she referring to the homework? Or the drink? Who knows?]

[redpaladin]

[You are lucky you are Pidge because he probably wouldn't bother looking up for very many other people. He tugs his headphones down to his neck and looks at her with a raised eyebrow.]
