The Wayfaring Barista
The owner of the @Cafe on Rainier Ave had a problem. She had an interview on Thursday for her dream fashion job, but her only employee had to work elsewhere that day and couldn't cover for her. Enter the Wayfaring Barista, mysteriously in from the east coast, and able to run a coffee shop for an afternoon. The Barista showed up today at quarter to one, immediately understood the operation of the cash register and the espresso machine (but not how to make smoothies, because who needs those). The Wayfaring Barista asks for no payment other than free coffee (and maybe matcha lattes, because yum), but will graciously accept a free panini. At 6 PM, the Wayfaring Barista will wander off into the sunset (or north to the Central District for dinner and tabletop RPGs). Perhaps your coffee shop will get a visit from the Wayfaring Barista?
(Yeah, business is slow and I'm bored, and I've already had too much caffeine. But it's fun getting to work at a coffee shop, especially just for an afternoon).
