Aaron had been working at the local coffee for a few months now. It seems like a short amount of time but it felt like a lifetime.

The man looked at him and answered in a cold voice, "I would like to get a coffee."
"Ok, how would you like it?"

"Y-you could have it s-strong or w-weak or in the m-middle" Aaron stuttered, afraid of upsetting the man even more.
The man glared and said "I want it strong, no milk or sugar, I want it black"
"Would that be to go or for here?"
"To go, now hurry up I have things to do"
Aaron nodded, went back to the counter once more and began making the coffee quickly. He soon finished and started walking back the man. He placed the cup down along with the receipt. The man put the money on the table and left. Aaron counted the money as he put it into the cAaron
