Starbucks [AU] Meme

[watsky]

Starbucks Meme!

1. AU - Make your fandom character or OC a barista, a regular or a panhandler outside this establishment (do whatever you want really.)
2. Meet Cute - Was it love at first frappuccino? Chance meetings, talking to strangers, general mingling can all go here.
3. Best Friends - Play two coworkers or frequenters of SB; profit!
4. Ensemble - Let people know you're down with threadhopping/gatecrashing in the subject line OR go around ruining other peoples' day.

Do: Let people know preferences and if you want gen or ship prompts / au/not au etc.
Don't: Be a dick.

By George Virden Watsky I think they've got it!

1. Either the worst customer your establishment has ever faced, regularly coming in at 9 in the morning demanding cocaine in his frappuccino, or
2. the worst barista in New York, at the cafe which is probably a drug running front, who's still amazing at his job and hits on everybody with condescending nicknames.

frank castle or whatever

[ he's gonna be your barista and he's gonna HATE IT. can roll with au or non-au prompts!! gen preferred unless we talk about it u kno the drill ]

It's not even a fucking Starbucks. It's a shitty hole in the wall that serves coffee. Joan likes this guy (she learned his name was Castilitoo-many-fucking-syllables, she calls him C) because he never asks for anything fancy. Drip coffee. That's fucking fine by her. He never asks what kind it is or where it's from or if it's free trade, because none of them can pretend to care. He always comes in at the ass end of a long day, and she works the graveyard shift and, yeah, at first, maybe she was worried because he had a mean look about him.

But she's learned that's just his fucking face.

He doesn't bother anybody, and she doesn't bother anybody. She cleans the place and fiddles with the security cams so her boss doesn't see her giving coffee and biscuits to the homeless that wander in at 4am (because fuck this place, it can afford the loss) and C doesn't say shit, though she glares at him once or twice, daring him to do so.

Of course, that probably brings the dumb kid in with his dumb gun. He's got a bandanna wrapped around his face like that fucking matters, and he points a shitty glock at her and says gimme all your money like he isn't a foot shorter than her and clearly desperate. Her boss, fucking idiot, only left her with pepper spray, and she really doesn't wanna spray somebody who fucking has a gun in his hand, that'll just get the place (and her) full of holes.

She should give him the money. But this is a matter of pride, and that's always been one of Joan's favorite sins.

"I'm gonna give you the count of ten to think better of that fucking plan."

[ Ninety percent of the employees in this Starbucks are teenagers, with pidgeotto hair or bleach blonde ends, taking every spare moment they can to text or tweet or whatever it is young people do. The one stark differential is the apathetic looking man in a uniform that doesn't seem to fit his personality, with a starbucks hat jammed down on top of long hair, an apron tied around his waist that looks too small for his body, and a flat expression on his face which he levels Steve with.

Welcome to Starbucks. He's not going to ask you what your order is, he's just going to stand there expectantly waiting for it. ]

It's just the two of them on the hottest day of the year, fuck you August 19. Nothing but trenta fraps and iced macchiatos as far as the eye can see. If one more person says extra ice to him, they're getting it through their eyeball. Some guy is screaming at Nat for getting his chick's order wrong (she didn't) as another testy brodude slides up behind them in a Maserati. One big hand rubs at his eyes, nursing a headache at quarter-of-eight really shouldn't be allowed in any of the seven boroughs.

"Think fast," he calls to her, sliding a fresh drink for the monster couple her way while he spins on one boot heel and tosses compensating-for-something outside his buttered cran-orange muffin before slamming the window on a cheery smile that looks much more homicidal than he aimed for. Just as he turns to take a breath, the herd finally thinning for their morning rush - about twelve more people walk in to take up the spots that were served and squared when he'd looked away. It was only a second, he thinks, his mind racing, his eyes darting to the clock. Sure enough it had been a mere moment and suddenly he's scrutinizing every single one of their new enemies as if he can see through to their black, black souls. "Did they unload a bus or somethin'?" A weary mutter as she comes back within earshot. God, he needs a drink. If he can get back to his bag for that shot of Jameson waiting for him, maybe he won't kill the next person who asks him to Surprise them. That would be surprising, alright. It's imagining holding their heads under the milk steamer that gets him to smile big for his next custy.

[Being a barista at Starbucks is definitely the strangest - and far from the worst - job Bucky Barnes has ever held. But what else is a guy supposed to do, in a future where he's got no real transferable skills (unless you count repairing seventy-year-old cars) and apparently you need things like a 401K and health insurance and you definitely need things like a paycheck to keep a roof over your head.

He's always liked people, in any case, and working at Starbucks is as much about the people as it is about the coffee. And the free drinks and food on his shift aren't a bad perk, either.

He's still not sure about the little American flag embroidered on his apron, or the fact that he has to pretend he's not a World War II vet (because that's what they're calling the war, these days), but it seems like a small price to pay.

It's been a long day, and he's honestly half-mentally checked out, when he comes out from stocking the bathrooms to see... holy shit. That's Steve - it's Steve, he's so sure of it, despite the dead look in the guy's eyes, the way he doesn't even so much as look at Bucky, from across the room - picking up a large mocha frappuccino from the bar with a set to his shoulders that says he kind of wishes the place were empty, baristas included.]

[ spiking her coffee with whiskey every time, what's good. cool with retired air force member turned vet tech (??) au, or some weird pre/post-iw shenanigans also cool. ]

[tasermaiden]

[ barista? customer with whatever the newest frap is? not an au at all and just escaping the lab to do paper work? i'm down for just about anything (including threadhopping, plz do). ]

[magpiemythos]

[Guess who just got the last of the new frap? The one that the barista apologetically tells Darcy they're out of?

If she guesses the 6'4'' guy in the green coat and horns over by the pickup counter, she gets a prize!

Except she doesn't, she just gets to watch him sipping idly as his free hand tap-taps away at the phone in his hand.]

[ her bio is still a work in progress, but tldr she's a con artist who's recently found out she can actually do magic and is probably scoping out potential marks while drinking a venti cold brew. ]

i'm sorry

[novembercities]

[ Walking's been a little difficult for him today, and the unfortunate girl in his path gets the worst of it. She's seated, minding her own business -- doing everything correctly, in his book, but he bumps into the back of her chair anyway. He thinks it's a bump, but it's more of a crash; he catches himself on the table, which slides forward several inches and sends her drink spilling across it and onto the floor. There's a little smear of blood left on the wood when he moves his grip.

Sup.

There's gotta be napkins somewhere. ]

Egil Ødegård | original character (urban fantasy/myth)

[waterloggedsocks]

[ some character info here. customer, either meeting other customers or interacting with the staff. very fine with atypical uses of this prompt (robberies, seeking shelter from sudden earthquake, etc) as well as the standard SoL stuff. egil's more sarcastic than scrappy so he'll probably get his butt handed to him should anything go south. otherwise, he's coming in to get his regular drip coffee or the occasional unflavored latte. spoilers: his attitude only marginally improves after he's had his coffee. ]

The morning commute brings all sorts in search coffee. People on their way to work, interns doing the coffee run before first thing meetings, students on the way to class, banshees on their way to mortician conventions, that sort of thing. In all honesty, she doesn't actually need caffeine but she's found herself liking coffee over the years. One of those mundane parts of human life, something that helps her blend in a little more. It's more for the milkiness, more than anything. She rarely has anything stronger than a latte. She just wanted something small, something to kickstart her day.

The obnoxious young man a few people ahead in the queue had other plans. She doesn't even know how many different things are in his large order, each coffee different and more complex than the last. He's taking his time, giving the barista hell to make sure his order is exactly as he dictates. His order must be perfect, he is a paying customer. He always comes here, he's loyal.

The child has no understanding of loyalty. she thinks to herself.

She's going to be late for this convention at this rate. She checks her watch, her eyes boring into the back of the young man's head. Bronagh's jaw sets, uttering under her breath: "Cic maith sa tóin atá de dlíth air."

She's never getting coffee at this rate. It leaves her feeling a mix of annoyance and outright sadness but then it's too easy to slip into feelings of moroseness. There's people in the queue behind her that have clearly given up waiting and leaving, hurrying out the door to reach wherever they need to be on time. She's tempted to do the same.

"Maybe I should just chance the terrible coffee at the convention." she sighs quietly to no one in particular.
