Legato had been very particular when choosing his place of work; a nice, quiet location that was small and homey, where he could focus his efforts on cooking rather than having to deal with customers.
Today was not that kind of day.
Today, they were short staffed, and everyone had to take a turn on the registers to get through the early summer rush. This, naturally, wasn't going all that well for Legato, who was easily irritated by almost every human who strolled through the doors. His coworkers were too busy to offer him more then a quick 'it gets easier after you do it for a while' or 'just keep smiling and it'll be fine' or even a very obviously joking 'just imagine them tripping and falling right outside as they leave!' which the young man offering quickly got berated for and Legato carefully didn't react to the suggestion. After all, imagining things happening to people was pretty much exactly what he'd spent his whole life doing until he could make things actually happen to people.
So here he stands, with a distinctly frazzled and irritable air to him, teeth grit as he attempts to make it through his allotted time at the register without any incidents, watching the customers half finish things and toss away perfectly acceptable food because they are done with it, wishing more then anything he'd joined the rash of coworkers who'd called in with sick with a stomach illness that was going around.
"Hello, how can I help you?" He mutters at the newest customer stepping in, eyes flicking to the clock distractedly. Thirty minutes. He can make it thirty minutes, right?
