“Keep the change,” he mumbled, but didn’t leave. He stood by the handoff plane, scrolling on his phone, glancing up at her name tag.
The tip jar on the counter read “College Fund,” but Auhneesh Nicole knew better. At twenty-two, with a double shift at Starbucks starting at 5 AM, the only thing that jar was funding was her car note and the hope that one day she wouldn’t have to ask customers if they wanted room for milk.
“Saw you today. The way you poured that oat milk. Unreal. You charge for meets?”

But the messages kept coming. Then a review on Yelp for the Starbucks: “Best service from Auhneesh. She really knows how to handle something… hot.”

Auhneesh had the kind of face that made people stop mid-order.
