Vocaloids as Starbucks partners
bc my experiences need to be shared with the characters i love (and totally support the boycott im just an ex-employee)
Miku: versatile, can work any station, but prefers the register because she gets to be bubbly and nice with the customers. Gives really bad side eye to rude people. got partner of the quarter once and never lets anybody forget it
Luca: morning shift girlie! she's definitely a shift manager and is a little stern with her other partners, but is also really fun to have your shift with
Kaito: the charismatic boy on bar. knows all the regulars and all their drama, loves having long conversations with them to avoid doing work. can also lock in and make like 4 drinks a minute
Meiko: was the one who originally trained you, and you definitely look up to her a little bit as an mentor-older-sister-type. likes having later shifts so she can sleep in. everyone looks to her to kick out rude customers bc she can YELL and everyone knows it. super good on bar, likes hot bar the best
Len: always on warming. never gets to leave his little corner, putting croissants in and out of the oven. they tried putting him on bar once, and he cried from the stress.
Rin: pre-closer! she has school so can't technically work the closing shift, but 4-5 nights a week shes in the back cleaning all the equipment. when she has a shift with len she makes him clean out the drains bc its so nasty. always super friendly with all the customers, definitely the store's most important and hardworking person
Gumi: she's either on drive thru or handoff, occasionally support. she tries to help Kaito with the drinks when things get rush-y, but Luca quickly steps in instead bc last time she spilled a whole frapp. she was just trying to put the lid on, its a struggle we've all faced, but since she's known as clumsy they think she'll do it again. mispronounces people's names all the time
VFlower: almost exclusively does closing shifts. brings as much food home as possible (even past their 7 food items a week!) and likes to show new hires little tricks about the store like where the cameras cant see. can be seen playing on her phone or occasionally vaping in the backroom
