[All the ad said was help wanted, together with this number attached to it. Maelle might not even know what this job is or if it's still available, but at this point, she's willing to take anything.]
heard i should contact this number for a job. is that still the case?
[ Despite this quite literally being a part time job, the last thing Alisaie had expected was for the manager to leave her in charge of hiring at the coffee shop.
Or rather, the temporary assistant manager had quickly become the absent assistant manager and had neglected to let her know that it was her number they had left on the help wanted ads around Panorama. Go figure.
Regardless, she's going to rise to the challenge. ]
Hello, yes! We're still looking for one or two more individuals to help fill in for shifts. May I ask who this is and do you have any barista experience?
[ Great. No wonder the assistant manager left her in charge. She lets out a noisy sigh as she scribbles down in her notebook that Maelle has no previous barista experience. That's not really a problem though; Alisaie hadn't really either when she started. ]
I suspected as much.
Well, if you're still interested I'm more than happy to provide more details. Though I wouldn't blame you if this isn't the sort of work you were hoping to find.
[Serving drinks didn't seem like it'll be that hard. But, while she worked at the thrift store as well, she was hoping for something a bit more... exciting. But she holds her tongue for now.]
hey, any information is better than what i started with. i'll figure out if i want to push through with it after.
[ Wow? It's not like Alisaie chose this life. There's only so many "exciting things" that people here will allow a sixteen year old to do. Why else would she subject herself to 101 part time jobs?
Regardless she sends Maelle the finer points: they're a mixture of opening and closing shifts, involves handling the coffee equipment, taking customer orders, and keeping a clean environment. Pretty straight forward, really. And a little more involved than a thrift store. ]
We can provide training for the coffee equipment and how to make the drinks. Pay is minimum wage, however we tend to split the tips amongst whoever is on shift that day.
[The only part-time experience about this place is the thrift shop. She can only go up from here! Which is what she gathers from the bullet points being presented to her.]
it already sounds a lot better than my current job. is there anything else i have to do? like an interview or something.
[People keep mistaking that she'll be nice because of her uniform at the thrift shop. Most find that they were sorely mistaken pretty quickly.]
sounds like you do need the help. good thing i saw the ad. [A little too confident, considering she didn't even know what a barista was until moments ago.] tomorrow works. i'm guess i'll just look for you when i get there?
It's certainly fortuitous. Hopefully it works out for the both of us.
[ Which is to say she doesn't mind the confidence. She'd be the same if the positions were reversed. Adapting to this world had been a challenge - but she's confident that if she can do it then anyone can. ]
Ask for Alisaie if I'm not already at the counter. I"m looking forward to meeting you, Maelle!

my name's maelle... hold on, a barista? what's that supposed to be?
no subject
Someone that serves drinks? Typically coffee, teas and the like.
Did the ad not state what this was for?
no subject
there wasn't much information on the ad, actually. just that they needed help, together with your number.

[A pause before a follow-up message.]
and is there a uniform involved?
no subject
Our manager has been away for some time and our temporary assistant manager has also been...gone.
[ It's a lot to get into but she's welcome to inquire further during the interview. ]
If it works for your schedule, perhaps tomorrow? Here's the address.
