"This is where the glasses are kept." A man, Brian, Sage's new boss said as he showed Sage around, her first day on her new job.

"Uh you could-"

"There were some glasses that were smashed beside table 9." The other girl, Jen said. They both looked young, no doubt younger than Sage, "It needs cleaned up but we're having our break before service. We've been in since 5." She said, looking across at Sage who just turned to Brian.
