( He's been coming here regularly for a couple weeks now. The coffee maker in his motel room's a barely functional piece of junk that leaves behind an unpleasant burning smell the stuff it produces tastes like ass no matter how he tweaks the ratios. As a fairly stereotypical manly man of the American Men variety, a daily cup of black coffee is necessary and instrumental to his overall wellbeing.
He's seen this place go through ebbs and flows of low customers and peak volume, seen the last server throw a fork at a customer's head, and wasn't altogether surprised to learn somebody new would be replacing them.
What he is surprised by is the face on the other end of the order pad. He's halfway through rattling out: )
Yes ma'am, can I get a cup of coffee please-
( Only to double-take, falter, and stop and squint at her. )
Wait, do I know you from somewhere?
( Is it remotely possible to live in New York for any length of time and not get blasted in the face with images of the Avengers? Give him a second, he'll make the connection. They're only on the news like every other god damn week. )
