Feel free to edit how you see fit!
“I take it you want your usual?”
“Oh, I’m so sorry! Let me remake your drink!”
“This one is on the house.”
“Sorry- I’m new around here. Still getting used to things..”
“So your date stood you up? What a jerk. I’m on break, how about we talk for a bit?”
“I’m so sorry for the wait! It’s been crazy busy today!”
“Woah. That’s.. a big tip. Thank you. It really means a lot.”
“Thanks for saying that..”
“Not gonna lie, you’re one of my favorite customers.”
“I’ve never been that great at latte art.. sorry.”
“You really like my latte art?”
“That’s a lot of expresso.. are you sure you want that much?”
“I can totally teach you how to make latte art sometime on my time off if you’d like to learn.”
“Hey, wanna go for a stroll after I finish closing this place up?”
“This may sound funny, but I actually don’t like coffee.“
“Oh my god, I’m so so sorry- I didn’t mean to spill the coffee on you.. Let me get some napkins!”
“Ugh… I’m sorry I suck at my job.”
“I’m sick of being around coffee.”
“How can you drink iced coffee when it’s so cold?”
“How do you drink hot coffee in this heat?”
“I need a drink and dear god not coffee.”
“Oh I’m so happy to see you!”
“I’m so glad to see a familiar face during this crazy shift.”
“Hey, you’ve gotta check out our newest specials! I think you’ll like them.”
“I came here for a date… but it looks like I’ve gotten stood up. Well I shouldn’t let this second cup of coffee go to waste, want it?”
“You know, you make the best coffee at this place.”
“You have my order memorized?”
“Hey, sorry to bother you. I think you made my drink wrong?”
“Take your time, I’m in no rush.”
“Look if any of those rude customers bother you, I’ll deal with them. The manager can’t fire me after all!”
“Ah! My favorite barista!”
“Noo your latte art is lovely! I love your little uh… smiley blobs?”
“Who knew you could make such a masterpiece out of a latte?”
“It’s slow around here today, huh?”
“Wow! Looks like it’s busy here today!”
“Fill this cup with as many expresso shots as you can fit in here.”
“Long day? You look worn out.”
“Ugh, I saw how much of a jerk that customer was. Are you okay?”
“I don’t know what I’d do without you- I mean I’d be lost without my coffee.”
“What would you recommend here?”
“I’d love to learn how to make such pretty latte art!”
“Thank you. Coming here has been the highlight of my day.”
“You always have a funny way to misspell my name.”
“Ooh the baked treats look good too!”
“Thought I’d visit you while you’re at work.”
“Is that your number on my cup? Smooth.”
