Int office cafe:
Jesse is going around the office cafe after a small rush for a bus w his hair slicked back and a black tee under an industrial barista apron. Like a customer, his supervisor sits at the bar he works behind in a button up and slacks w his laptop out working. The supervisors boss then comes in w a suit on and looks at Jesse who exchanges his glance when he walks up to him with a hand out
Boss: Hi, I’m hector. Are you filling in for Marjorie this week?
Jesse (shakes hand): Yes, I’m Jesse. Nice to meet you.
Hector: That’s great, that’s great. Really appreciate picking you up at the last min like this. Hope it’s not too much trouble.
Jesse: Absolutely none at all, thanks again for having me.
Hector: Pleasure’s all ours. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to brief Alonzo on a few things before our next meeting.
Hector walks over to Jesse’s supervisor Alonzo for a brief word before both of em get up to go to the back. Jesse continues his bus up to where Alonzo was sitting at the bar when he noticed Alonzo and Hector come out from the back together with a few things in hand talking inaudibly until Hector takes his leave.
Alonzo then walks up to Jesse w the things that appear to be a hat and a long sleeve shirt.
Alonzo: Hey, so I guess hector wants you to wear this as long as you’re gonna be filling in for Marjorie this week during every shift. (Hands him the stuff)
Jesse (takes it): Okay, so is this like the uniform? Marjorie wears this too?
Alonzo (hesitates): Yeah, I guess it’s just so the customers know exactly who’s working here if you don’t mind.
Jesse (sucks teeth): I’ll be a min in the back.
Alonzo (Jesse brushes passed him as he begins to speak): No problem, I’ll cover you out here. Thanks again for the cooperation and for coming in on such short notice.
Jesse goes to the back
Interior back room/kitchen: Jesse puts the long sleeve shirt on w the hat and packs up his shirt in the backpack. He comes out to the floor part behind the bar where Alonzo is doing everything wrong at the espresso bar to prepare a drink for the customer waiting when he sees em.
Alonzo (smiling): Awesome, looking good. She’s already paid if you wanna take over.
Jesse (sucks teeth): I gotchu.
Alonzo walks back to where he was at the bar like a customer when Jesse stops the milk steamer and espresso to start over.
Jesse (turns to the customer): I’m sorry, what was your drink?
Customer (irritated): A large cold brew w six pumps of caramel.
