A taste of the story

Sam: I'll stack the last chairs and wipe down these tables.

Nadia: Perfect. I'll count the till and cash out the tips.

Sam: This place used to be so loud on Friday nights.

Nadia: It really was. There was a line out the door every week.

Sam: We used to stay open until two in the morning.

Sal: We did. And I'd lock up alone every single night.

Sam: You'd send me home early, and I'd promise myself I'd work harder.

Sal: You always worked hard. Too hard, maybe.

Sam: When I started here, I taught myself the espresso machine.

Sam: I used to burn every shot. I'd throw them out and start over.

Nadia: We all did that at first.
