Jonne'a: That'll be four minutes and 30 seconds approximately 

Willfred: Need a hand?

Jonne'a: No thanks everything's under control table six wants one orange and pinapple juice one low fat mango smoothie and a soy banana shake with a bendy straw 

Willfred: Jonne'a I'm really glad I took you on for this job I wasn't sure about some of your ideas 

Jonne'a: Like alphabetizing the fruit?

Willfred: And color-coding the juice bottles but it all works 

Jonne'a: Organization's my thing 

Willfred: Look I have to go away for the weekend to a food and beverage conference in the Snowfields and I'll need someone to look after the cafe is that too much responsibility for you?

Jonne'a: No no I love responsibility 

Willfred: Good okay and if you need to hire someone in to give you a hand-

Jonne'a: No thanks Willfred I'll be fine I won't let you down I promise 

Vanni: I'm so over being broke the worst part is I can't even afford these tickets to the Feral Robots concert 

Rydel: Why don't you get a part time job like Jonne'a?

Vanni: Eh jobs have this hidden downside they involve work

Jonne'a: Hey guys you are looking at the brand new manager of the JuiceNet Cafe for the whole weekend 

Rydel: Perfect timing  Vanni was just saying she needed money to go to the Feral Robots concert 

Jonne'a: Ew you actually like that band?

Rydel: So anyway I was thinking now you're the manager you could give Vanni a job at the JuiceNet Cafe 

Jonne'a: I don't really think Willfred would want me to no offence Vanni 

Vanni: No that's fine I'm not much of a smoothie person anyway 

Rydel: {whispers} I cannot believe you just did that Vanni is our friend why wouldn't you hire her?

Jonne'a: This job is a big step up for me I can't just hire someone like Vanni you know what she's like 

Rydel: She really needs this why don't you just give her a chance? Guess what? Jonne'a just hired you 

Vanni: She did? 

Jonne'a: Er yeah welcome aboard 

Vanni: Thanks I think 

Jonne'a: I might as well give you the schedule now you better write this down we start work at precisely 7:25   a.m. and take deliveries until we open at exactly eight 

Vanni: Okay I'll be there at 7:30 

Jonne'a: 7:25 

Vanni: That's what I said 

Vanni: Hey boss 

Jonne'a: You're six minutes and ten seconds late 

Vanni: Should I go stand in the naughty corner or...?

Jonne'a: Let's get to work there you go enjoy 

Customer: So what would you recommend?

Vanni: Don't ask me it's pretty much all just juice I'm more of a coffee person 

Jonne'a: Can I chat to you for a sec?

Jonne'a: You can't talk to customers like that 

Vanni: I was being honest
