I actually hate coffee.
I think it takes away from some of the other
really good hot beverages.
- Such as?
- Green tea, for one.
- So you're telling me you hate coffee?
- I despise it.
All it does is give you diarrhea which it already look like

What are you doing here man?
I told you you can work here anytime you want.
- You can't afford me.
(upbeat music)
- Not a single master's degree man.
Quite frankly, I'm disappointed.
- My guy didn't like black people or black coffee.
- What?
I don't know there was some pretty strong candidates.
- What, don't you got somewhere to be?
- Yeah, you're right, never leave twins waiting.
I'm out.
And don't play my juice like that no more.
- Get out of here man.
(upbeat music)
- Senor Beachum, (speaks foreign language)
- De nada?
- Oh, let me tell you something,
do not go in there for at least an hour and a half.
- I'm sorry but we're closed right now.
- Oh I'm sorry I'm still here.
Who closes a coffee shop this early anyways?
Let me get a quad espresso.
- Four shots?
This late.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Finally a coffee connoisseur.
- Let me just stop you right there,
I said we're closed okay?
- That's your problem right there, it's six PM
on a Friday, you're losing like 60% of your sales
from the after rush hour traffic.
You don't know that?
I'm hungry, you all got like some granola bars
or some snacks or something like that?
- We do, I got you, I got you, all right.
- Don't do it, I said we're closed man,
you making me look bad.
- Wait, why aren't your snacks up here at the front
by the register?
You do know that that would allow customers
to make an impulse buy on their own?
Do y'all work here or y'all just like temping?
- [Beachum] Yeah, I was trying to tell 'em.
- Yeah, Beachum, yeah I remember you said
put 'em all in the back so no one steals 'em.
- Okay, maybe I did, look, since you know so much,
why don't you just work here, okay,
we're hiring right now?
- Me?
- [Beachum] Yes.
- Work here.
- [Beachum] Yup.
- With y'all?
- [Beachum] Mmhmm.
- No,
'cause you don't know what you're doing
and you look stupid.
(laughs)
Y'all don't even know how to run a coffee shop,
working at no stupid coffee shop, thank you.
Let me weigh it though 'cause you all be okay.
That look like it, (mumbles)
- I like her.
(dramatic music)
