American Happy Friendship

Today turned out to be a very busy day . It's one of the biggest mornings we had this year.First I woke up late had breakfast and then headed to my job. I drove to work there was a lot of traffic. there were piles and piles of cars. it took me a long time to get through the traffic, I was late to work.I got to my job late. My boss chewed me put for coming in late. I promised him i was late for a good reason traffic. he stated that I am always on time. I know, I know, I am never late. I agreed to work an extra 30 minutes for coming in late. He agreed to let me work later. we were short hostesses at the cafe. My friends Karla and Devin work there too. another girl Hazel works there too. dshe has a small son and tries to come when she gets there. Usually Hazel mom watches her son. Today her boyfriend watches him. Today Hazel and Karla were working it was a full house. Devin and Hazel made the coffee and teas. Hazel boyfriend woerks in an office. he is nice and comes in once in awhile with thier son. Sometimes we chat about customers ordes today it was alot of suits in the office. We serve a lot of coffee and lattos rolls and breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls teas and cakes.. We have lots of college students who buy our drinks and do homework via our wi-fi. we have other cutomers too. Such as the newly engage Dave and Shelby. They met at restauarant he cooked at and feel in love and he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him she said yes. Then there our regular professor Conners. she loves our hot teas and breakfast sandwiches. Another customer david comes in with his girlfriend Abby they both attend the college. they do a lot of homework here. They often drink a lot of coffees to stay up for exams. Yes, I work at a coffee shop. There is this customer that i call suits. we get a lot of them here. handling business over our wi-fi. Well this customer is particularly rude with all our workers and customers . He comes in saying he's late everyday.He cuts others in line. He never apologizes to them for sometimes spilling their coffee.He's absolutely nothing like me, I'm nice and kind, He's rude, pushy and mean.

One morning he came into the coffee shop. it's called Velmas Coffee shop. We sell everything here pastries, coffee flavored and regular teas. He looked disheleveds. I politely went up to him and asked was their snayhting wrong. He said that he has a big deadline coming up that he hasn't stated yet. He told me that he works for his dad and he wants his own companies. His dad plans on him going into the business. he said he doesn't mind. he would love to go into business. He said his name is Seth Holsester. i told him I'm Hannah Logan. He said nice to meet me. i said likwise.Then he left he did not leave a tip.We came by a lot over the next few weeks. he told me about his family his 3 brothers tom, Chris, and younger brother Keith.
