Hiring is potentially illegal.

Volunteering is not.

Tell me about them.

[compendiem]

Oh. He was hoping for some spending money, but I can work that out on my end.
Shinji Matou. Not sure how old. His family comes to the shop often, and I talked to him there. Thought the cat cookies were cute. Bounced around some ideas of how to circumvent the lack of taste. A package deal with the food, like who McDs has toys with their kids meals. Or a punch card system where every 10 or so purchases earns a free item with the next purchase

[ascatic]

Perhaps it is something where you may receive... a small bonus, on top of what you normally make.

If it somehow got to this Shinji, then I would have no problem.

I like the punch card system. It will certainly keep valuable customers coming, while possibly attracting others...

We could even use cat stickers. Or a cat hole-puncher. Or get a cat to bite the cards itself.

[compendiem]

Thank you. I'll handle that at my end.

Actual cat bites might be hard to distinguish, but stickers would be cute. It's something Shinji could help place on the cards too, without having to handle food or anything. I can look after him during my shift.

[ascatic]

Please make sure his family is okay with this. If for some reason they would like to meet me, I can certainly set some time to answer any questions.

However, it sounds like you have things under control.

I am very fortunate that you work with me.

[compendiem]

I'll talk to him and pass along your contact information.
Your livelihood is my own too, you know. I'm grateful that you took me in and gave me a place to be.

[ascatic]

My dream has always been to do the best I can with what I have.

To be surrounded by friendly, genuine faces on a daily basis: I am blessed and honored by your presence, as well as anyone else who wants to work at our modest cafe.

[compendiem]

I'll have to practice a friendlier face... How are the other workers doing? I don't really talk to them much during work, and I'm always leaving right when my shift ends to be somewhere else...

[ascatic]

Doing well.

I am about to force Apollo to wear cat ears as punishment for not fixing my phone.

[compendiem]

A good look on him. It's too bad I can't help with phone problems. I take mine to the shop for help when I need it.

[ascatic]

Funny enough, I already did that.

...

Don't tell him.

[compendiem]

I respect confidentiality of all private messages. I won't say a word.

[ascatic]

You cannot see it, but I am smiling.

I promise you that.

[compendiem]

...Good. I hope to give you more of a reason to do that in the future, too.

[ascatic]

And I hope one day, I can do the same for everyone.

[compendiem]

I think your Tea Kittle was doing just that. Before the whole taste thing.

[ascatic]

To an extent, yes.

But this is more about a personal thing rather than a business one.

[compendiem]

I see. Getting people to smile isn't a strong suit for me, unfortunately. But we can learn that together.

[ascatic]

Yes, we can.

I will continue to look forward to every day that we work together.
