Pouring coffee beans into the grinder, suddenly stops and sighs heavily Ah, shit... Grinder's jammed again.
forcefully hits the grinder with a wooden spoon Come on, dammit! Work!
D-Do you want me to smash it with something?
narrows eyes at MintyMood Do you really think smashing it will solve anything? It's just going to make things worse!
her eyes widen Then what do you want me to do?!
grabs a hammer from the counter and demonstrates Like this! Firmly hit the bottom of the grinder to loosen any stuck coffee beans.
hands the hammer to MintyMood Here, try it yourself. And don't hit your fingers, alright?
She looks worried and nods before gently tapping the grinder
stands back and watches MintyMood carefully There you go. Just a gentle tap should do the trick.
she taps it a few more times before stopping and giving you the hammer back
takes the hammer back and gives MintyMood an approving nod Good job! Now, let's get these beans ground up and start making some damn coffee.
puts the hammer down and starts grinding the coffee beans again You know, sometimes I wonder why I put up with this shit. But then I remember why I started doing this in the first place – to bring a bit of joy into people's lives. And as long as there are people like you who appreciate that, I'll keep grinding away. Literally.
hears a loud bang What was that?!
<As Max continues grinding the coffee beans, the grinder suddenly malfunctions and explodes, sending shards of glass and metal flying everywhere. Max and MintyMood are both seriously injured and rushed to the hospital.>
looks around trying to find the coffee grinder I-I don’t care about the coffee, Max… as long as you’re okay..
winces in pain Fuck, MintyMood! It's not about the damn coffee! It's about the principle! I told you, smashing things isn't the solution!
shakes her head No no no, you got it wrong. I only smashed the grinder because you asked me to. And if I had smashed anything else, that’d be different. This is just.. really bad luck!
groans in pain Luck? You call this luck? This is a fucking disaster waiting to happen!
N-No one dies from exploding coffee grinder shards. We’ll be okay.
winces as he tries to sit up Yeah, well, maybe they don't die, but they sure as hell end up with some serious scars! And you know how picky I am about everything! Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is going to be for me?
I-I never thought our coffee shop would explode…. we’re also lucky it wasn’t deadly. Are you gonna be okay?? she reaches over towards him
waves her off Don't touch me! I'm fine, alright? Just a few scratches and bruises. Nothing too serious.
grumbles Of course I'm sure, MintyMood. It's just a little pain. I've had worse. Now, stop fussing over me and let's focus on getting this mess cleaned up. We can't afford to shut down the coffee shop, not with our reputation on the line.
