"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. She was extremely nervous and barely slept all night, but was excited to get started and meet new people. Hopefully people who wouldn't befriend her and then later down the line betray her and obsessively kidnap her.
"How do I handle complaints?" Sage asked him. She felt like she was just shadowing him around and burdening people every time she had to ask a question but she was only learning.
"Uh, you come to me first and we'll take it from there." Brian said, "If you're on a night shift I'll probably put you on the bar in the lounge area but day-time you'll be just on normal service." He nodded, "You've met everyone right?" He asked her, walking into the back of the bar as Sage nodded and then shook her head.
"Some people." Sage nodded, following him into the staff area where a group of workers sat. There were two other waitresses and a waiter sitting.
"You guys met Sage?" Brian asked them as they shook their heads whilst Sage smiled politely at them.
"I thought you were bringing my sister in for shifts." One of the girls said where Sage could read her name badge as Laura.
"Sage can do more hours than your sister, so no, I'm not bringing her in." Brian told her as Laura just tutted and turned away as Sage scratched the back of her neck awkwardly.
"Is there anything I can do right now?" Sage turned to Brian after realising the three workers weren't going to warm to her as such.
"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.
