Ginger Clove had her cafe open there were tables inside and tables set up out front her cafe was set on a street with a number of other shops. Ginger put out a sign that she was looking for help in her cafe and looking for local artists so she could feature their work in her cafe. Ginger was almost giddy about her idea of having an art cafe. Ginger herself didn't really have any artist talent unless you counted making pastries and cupcakes. Some of them looked too good to eat. She glanced over at the chairs, couches and low table in the one air. She also had crystal power wifi installed in her show for the laptop types that liked to order a latte and relax in Ginger's place.
---------------------------
Chai strode down the street on his phone, dodging and weaving his way through the pedestrians without taking his eyes off the screen. The last cafe he'd reviewed had been so disappointing - just a typical little cottage-esque homey place. He was so bored of them! He wanted something new! Of course, he'd still written a nice review, he didn't want anyone to feel bad because of him. With a sigh he finally looked up from his phone, trying to spot something new. With a little gasp he noticed something coming up on the block. At first glance it seemed like a pretty typical cafe, but he couldn't help but notice the sign that mentioned local artists. Intrigued, Chai made his was to the cafe, noting the cute decor both outside and in. Slipping inside, he put away his phone and took out his tablet, quickly making notes on the environment and decor. Maybe it was finally a cafe worth reviewing!
----------------------------
Ginger loved her cafe, she had put a lot of thought into it and changed the decor often so it didn't get boring. Currently, she had cute early spring flowers set in corners and the couches were comfy in different fabrics, not formal matching. They had a similar sweet look to them. Everything was cozy and charming, rather than hipster uptight. Since Ginger Clove loved being motherly she didn't want the freshlings and juniors to think they were too young to come buy a cookie or a cupcake. Ginger turned to the door, her hair was pulled pull as it always was. She covered her hair of course when she was cooking since no one wanted fluffy in their cheesecake. "Hello, how can I help you today??" Ginger asked sweetly not really think this being was a reviewer.
------------------------------
Most the cafes Chai had been to had some set theme to them, trying to stand out in a rather competitive industry. Sure, often this theme was just 'cozy', but it still seemed to get to him. This place, however, seemed like the perfect area to just sit down and let creativity flow. It was all over the place style-wise, but it all seemed to come together anyway. Chai thought this would bother him, but he actually quite liked it.
He was slightly taken aback when he was greeted straight away - he made sure to write down 'quick service so far' - but he smiled shyly at her. "Good morning," He greeted, making his way to the counter. "Are you the barista...? I'd like a caramel macchiato, please." He ordered with a smile. Now it got kinda awkard. Did he sit and wait for it, or stand at the counter? Was it actually table service and should he sat in the first place? Everywhere seemed to be different.
-------------------------------
Ginger smiled at the customer that entered and order, she laughed lightly and said "I suppose I'm a little bit of everything till I hire someone else to help out around here dear." She said warmly. She noticed they waited rather uncomfortably and she said "Sit yourself down sweetheart and I'll bring you your drink in just a sec." Ginger said gesturing to the sitting area, she preferred taking care of her guests she didn't treat her cafe like a cold impersonal establishment she wanted her cafe to feel like coming home for anyone who needed that personal touch not just a hot cup of dull coffee. They could get that from the diner down the street.
-------------------------------
Chai tilted his head slightly at her words. "You need more staff?" He asked, although it sounded more like a statement. He'd have to include that the place needed help in his review. He let out a small sigh of relief when he was instructed to sit. "Thanks," He said with a warm smile. He hesitated before sitting, his gaze looking over the pastries. "Actually, could I have one of your delectable-looking cupcakes, too? I don't realy mind which... surprise me," He asked with a smile, finally moving over to a couch with the most cushions and sitting down. Pulling out a tablet from his leather satchel, he quickly started making notes - one of which was how quickly he'd connected to the internet.
-------------------------------
Ginger smiled as she gathered the things the customer asked for "Yup sweetheart I need more staff I own the cafe and am looking for artists to feature there work in my cafe, but right now I'm a one hallowed show." She said with a warm bright smile as she gave the customer a caramel and chocolate cupcake. Ginger Clove loved taking care of other and looked forward to having little ones of her own to take care of full time. She wanted to be a mother badly but that would have to wait till she would the right being to be with or at least till she decided she wanted to go to a mixer so she could imbue stones with someone since she didn't want to do it alone.
-----------------------------
Hearing the owner come waitress approach him, Chai politely lowered his tablet to smile at her. "I'm surprised you haven't been swarmed with college students trying to get some exposure," He commented genuinely. Leaning forward to smell the delectable scents coming from the cupcake, he sighed in approval. He picked off a small corner, making sure to savour the taste. "Wow, delicious! Paired perfectly with the drink too," The last part was more to himself. Looking up at Ginger once more, he gestured lightly to his tablet. "I actually review cafes for a hobby. Would you mind... if I included that you'd like some help? I bet I could get some volunteers in here, if you'd rather not hire full-time," He offered with a grin.
----------------------------------
Ginger Clove smiled brightly and said "These things take time sweetheart, gotta get things settled I've only been in business for a little while and I don't really do computer stuff." She was always pleased when she saw that someone was happy with her food and drinks. "That would be wonderful. I'm Ginger Clove by the way." She said and held her hand out to Chai she figured if they were writing a review about her cafe they should have all the information about her and cafe. She sat down across from Chai and said. "I have enough money to hire someone else full time, and a few part timers. I don't know about volunteers unless they are freshlings or juniors looking to do a school project."
-------------------------------
Chai tried not to chuckle when the owner said they didn't 'do' computer stuff. His review and images of the place could really be a big help if there's wasn't any media campaign for it thus far. "Oh, I'm Chai!" He introduced, somewhat flustered by the belated introductions. Hesitantly he shook her hand, listening to her explanation of her business. So she could afford more employees, definitely worth mentioning in his review. Odd she didn't want volunteers, but it would be cute to see freshlings running around. "So how long have you been open? I-if.. you don't mind me asking..." He trailed off with a shy smile.
