By now he's used to having to trot out saccharine behaviour for their customers at a moment's notice - to varying degrees of success - but he isn't used to getting that back.

...And he has a question, too. Why can't he just order something right off so Tsukishima can ring him up and get this over with already?]

Well, the Colombian roast is always a good choice, very strong and robust. Or there's our French vanilla latte if you prefer your coffee sweet. [he doesn't say "weak".] You should also check out our specials, this week it's a set for two - a slice of coffee cake and two macchiatos. Ah, but it looks like you're alone~
