You walk up to the counter. As you approach, she regards you with a puzzled, unfriendly look.
"Can I help you?" she asks in a manner that suggests that helping you is the last thing she wants to do. You greet her and quickly read her name tag. Sapphire. A pretty name, you tell her with a smile. "Thanks," she replies tersely. "Is there something you want?" You say that she seems bored. Sapphire's expression softens a bit. "Yeah... My shift technically ended five minutes ago, but my replacement still isn't here. Knowing her, she probably ended up on the toilet after eating mall slop. Again..." She sighed.
"Anyway...I suppose you can stay if you...'entertain' me until she gets here." Sapphire smiles for the first time, but it's darker than her disdainful expression from earlier. You wonder if you should demonstrate the shrink ray or see what she has in mind.
