17th Cheer

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Action; Starbucks]

[Looks like Sakurako's stopped by the coffee shop to get in on some of that delicious pumpkin coffee action while it's still the season for it.  Unfortunately, there's a huge line of people in front of her, reaching back almost to the door.  She's got her arms folded, fidgeting in place and bouncing on her heels to try to see over the group of people as she grows ever more irritated by the moment.]

Come on, geez!  How hard is it to order a coffee?

[That person finally moves along, but the next one is having trouble getting their debit card to scan through the card reader.  Sakurako groans loudly.]

Can I just go next?  Look!  I have money!  See?

[Practically growling, she takes out a $10 bill and starts waving it in the air.

...Someone might want to come and put a stop to this, or at least find out why she's so upset today.]

You're upset. *Kaoru linefaces, walking up.* What did they do?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

They're taking forever!

[breatheinthefog]

Oh. I thought you were upset over something serious. Like losing your memory and having lived a whole other life in some place called Las Vegas with five boyfriends when you didn't know you'd been here.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Kaoru, what are you even talking about.

[Sakurako pinches the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes tight for a moment.]

[breatheinthefog]

It was on that program. The one on weekdays at 2 PM on channel four. "All My Married Life".

*Yep... Kaoru's been watching soap operas.*

[heavenscorpse]

Hi Sakurako. Do you need somebody to talk to while you wait?

[V/V would be that somebody.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[She groans a little.]

What I need is for this line to move.

[heavenscorpse]

I can't make it do that, though.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[There is some frustrated grumbling under her breath.]

[heavenscorpse]

Are you okay?

[technologic]

[Well.

This is scary. April was just walking by when she sees this and she just... pauses in place.]

Uh... S-Sakurako?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

What?

[Wow, that was way snappier than usual.]

[technologic]

... Uh, what's happened? You seem upset.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[She just points at the huge line in front of her.]

[technologic]

... You're pissed about a line for coffee?

[want_a_vacation]

*And guess who just happens to be stuck behind her in line. Allen's facepalming and shaking his head.*

Oh for-do you really have to shout? You're probably just going to make it take longer.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

I doubt that. If this line was moving any slower, it'd be going backwards.

[want_a_vacation]

Don't you know better than to tempt fate?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Actually, no, she doesn't.]

What's even going on up there?

[want_a_vacation]

*Of course not, most people Allen deals with don't.*

Who knows...

*Though right now, it looks like the person at the front of the line is waffling about what they want.*

[Hey best friend, guess who is having her own personality issues as well?]

The service here is terrible, isn't it? I don't think we should stand for this.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Yeah, but what do we do?

[kugimin]

Simple! Make some noise! Get the manager! Demand action! You're a paying customer after all, they need to accommodate to you, not force you to accommodate to them! Call out the manager!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Right! Yeah! I want to talk to the manager!

[kugimin]

Right! They should know these mornings are busy!! Why aren't there more employees here to help?!
