*Cancer turns to the cashier who's still standing there but clearly shaking from fear.

The manager then walks up.

Cancer: It seems that your cashier might've made a mistake and my friend overreacted.

Aries was about to step up, but Scorpio got in front her.

Scorpio: Bullshit, the cashier is over charging us because we're hunters.

*Clearly with a fake smile
Manager: Hunters you say? Well the price seems right, it's just a little tax that's all. If you don't agree with our prices, you're free to fill out a complaint form

Scorpio slowly reaches for the manager

Cancer: Scorpio.....

Scorpio:.....fine, but I'm not drinking anything

Aries storms off to a table with Scorpio following making sure she doesn't flip a table.

Cancer walks up and hands the manager $50

Cancer: Just the two coffees please.

All three are sitting down, and Scorpio and Aries are using a 4th chair as a foot rest.
Aries takes a sip of coffee.

Aries: Aww, no cinnamon, that's messed up.

Cancer: Yuck! There's No sugar.

Scorpio: Yeah, no surprise there.

Cancer: Maybe they made a mistake.

Aries: can you stop being so blind? We're hated by the community.

Cancer: You're right, can't deny that.
