The List

Tomas sat in The Daily Grind, a small café in Brooklyn. Rain hit the window. The café owner came to his table with two cups of coffee.

Owner: So, Tomas. Can you make coffee?

Tomas: Yes, I can. I study at the café school on Fifth Avenue.

Owner: Good. Can you work on Tuesday?

Tomas: Tuesday is fine. I have my phone here. I can show you my list of drinks.

Owner: A list? You made a list?

Tomas: Yes. I want this job.

Owner: I like that. Most people just say “I love coffee.”

Tomas: I do love coffee. But I also love this shop.

Owner: Then welcome to the shop, Tomas. You start on Tuesday.
