VII. Barrister
HRH Princess Luna of Equestria
The Royal Palace
Canterlot
Your Majesty:
It appears I was in error about the position being offered. It was not an opening for a barrister—it was for a barista at the recently opened Starbuck’s franchise across the road from the library.
My first customer ordered a venti two-thirds decaf low-fat soy caramel macchiato with whipped cream, mocha sprinkles, and a sprig of hay. And a cranberry orange-peel scone.
I walked out five minutes later.
Pointlessly,
Penumbra Noctis

Ah, the joys of customer service.
What does she have against cranberry orange peels?
I love how you/she didn't even bother explaining how it fell apart, just implied massive psychological damage and general mayhem.
Somehow when I read about the barrister position at the end of the last chapter I just knew it was going to turn out to be something like this instead.
And I love the fact that this chapter is short and to the point.
Scones are just the waste product of a cake-fusion reactor, anyway.

a cake fusion reactor sounds like a very pinkie thing to have, I imagine a range of tokamak donuts filled with ionised plamsa made from rainbow liquid that the cakes will not let her sell after the last "incident".
Great story so far, I like this style.
This is the most Just and Fair decision she's made in this story.
Oddly enough, every Starbucks barista I have ever met has been almost freakishly cheerful. I guess they get free coffee. Lots of it. Penumbra should try it.
Then again, maybe that's not the best idea...
1755618 Oh man, I wish I could favorite comments!
that went better than i thought...only because she miss heard
I believe the name of the franchise is "Starbits" Coffee. Just saying.
i saw that twist coming
thats hilarious
Had to thumbs up the story, just for this one.
People really shouldn't be so freakin' picky about their drinks. I mean, the menu is there to tell you what can be ordered, not give you five billion combinations.
Seriously, though. I love your series.
Having been a barista briefly in my life I can honestly say that coffee customers are the pickiest, whiniest, stuck up snobs I've ever had the misfortune to serve. If I hadn't been desperate for work then I would have pulled a Penumbra.
It's too bad I stood behind that pony in line, Penumbra left before I could make my order, " Large Coffee, Black; No Cream No Sugar"

Are you perchance a Foamy fan?
*hands him a card* Foamy be with you.
It took me until this read-through to notice the return of the specialty scones concept.

Well, NOW you can thumbs-up them...

I believe that is quite contradictory to the Starbuck's concept.
"Pointlessly," is now my favourite way to sign a letter.
Thus, the first appearance of Chekhov's Scone in known literature.
Honestly, I think I'd walk out the door too if my first order was something like that.

Oh, great, now I'm imagining Pinkie Pie with a ZORP weapon.

What is a "ZORP Weapon"?

Something that - in the hands of Pinkie Pie - would cause great turmoil and possibly the destruction of the universe.
You're welcome

I see her walking out while the pony has their order dumped on them

cranberry... orange peel...
I could only think of the coffee scene from the music video for "celebrity" after reading this.
