There’s like two things I feel like I can give my professional opinion on for aus, one is like anything with tons of math I just finished my engineering degree. The other is cafe aus because I have spent every summer for the last like 6 years working at Dunkin’ Donuts.
Using this professional experience, I have real and correct opinions on Sam and Misas positions at Dunkin Donuts.
Misa I think would make all the hot food. This is the only position where you don’t interact with customers. He is making the sandwiches, the hashbrowns, the wraps, the avocado toast. He might even get away with having AirPods in if he’s good enough at his job. Now in most Dunkin’s, the oven area is right next to the drive thru.
This is where I pitch Sam Dickinson drive thru order taker and cashier. He LOVES to yap it up with the customer. He is upselling items. He is giving little kids free munchkins and telling elderly ladies they don’t look NEARLY old enough for the senior discount. ‘are you sure you qualify? You don’t nearly look over 65 for this discount. Can I see your IDs ladies?’
Now he’s great with the customers. Customers ask if Dickey’s in to chat with him about his schooling and because they know Sam knows their order by heart exactly how they like it. He is truly a good employee, he’s good looking he’s charming he’s everything you want out of an employee who’s gonna sell donuts and coffee. However, he does kinda often forget to punch something in. Put something in wrong. Or offer to give something out for free.
This is where his good friendship with Misa comes in. He leans in on his forearms, make sure Mikey is looking at him, looks sweetly and innocently, bats his eyelashes. Says “Mikeyyyy, I need a bacon wrap for the car at the window.”
He takes an AirPod out, looks so uninterested and asks “didn’t I make them a sausage egg and cheese wrap?”
“I typed it in wrong Mikey pleaseeeee. My drive times!” (You have to get cars in and out of the drive thru relatively fast, management makes a big deal abt it)
Misa sighs, and gets started on whatever Sam needs. Misa will make everyone else wait, but Sam always seems to bat his eyes into whatever he wants. He’s going on break and wants a sandwich? Made in 20 seconds. “You want your Bagel dicky?” “Yes please.” He gets extra hashbrowns, messed up orders, window add-ons whenever he wants. In exchange Sam remakes Mike his coffee whenever he runs out, and lets him know whenever there’s a dog at the window, so Mike can hand out a piece of cheese and pet them.
I think there could certainly be a bet going on on whether or not they’re dating. They carpool to and from work, take their tips to immediately get lunch together most days, and have shown up wearing each others name tags.
On the rare occasion they work a shift without the other, the other usually comes through the drive to say hello. “Welcome to Dunkin’s what can I get for you?” “It’s me, Sam.” “MIKEYYY COME ON UP BABY ITS ON THE HOUSE”
“Hello, what can I get started for you?” “Can you tell Mikey to make my sandwich. It’s Sam!”
Anyways, I was at work today thinking about this. If you were wondering I work the drive! :)
!!!!!! how i love a fun workers au!!!!!
sam and misa carpool in for every shift and everyone sort of assumes they live together or just very close, but they’re shocked to find out that they actually live in complete opposite directions. like on the opposite sites of town far. sam tries to justify it as well, i just sleep over a lot. which only makes the dating accusations that much worse
i’ve never been to a dunkin’ donuts so excuse my lack of ball knowledge. but misa will make both sam and him something for their breaks and sam’s is always the most fucked up abomination of a sandwich donut wrap monstrosity and misa has his normal chicken wrap. sam comes up with a name for each creation and actively tries to convince drive through customers to try the mikey misa special. the success rate is low but it’s there
misa really really hates this bit
