Your hands shake, your knees tremble, your eyes widen and your mouth flaps open and closed like a fish out of water
Surely that wasn't-
You lean slightly forward, craning your neck forward and tilting your head
What you heard must have been wrong
It barely sounded like human speech as is, let alone what was actually said registering closer to static than a cogent sentence

"C-come again?"

A protracted silence follows
The being-you'd hesitate to even call them a person based off what's happened so far-stands on the other side of the waist-high barrier
Then 'she' speaks again, repeating the thing that shocked you down to the core
You make some sort of noise to signal you understood now, even though you really REALLY don't
With your brain thoroughly disconnected from your body, you silently turn around and look around you
You're just doing your job
you're just following order
you're just doing what you've been trained and told to do
With a nervous sigh, you wipe the cold sweat forming on your brow and begin to comply
It's brutal, pathetic, and at several points you nearly burst into tears when your 'work' causes your fingers to get stained with the mess of the horror you're inflicting
Somebody runs to the bathroom, likely to vomit at the sight of this....terror
Choking back your own lunch from coming back out of your stomach, you turn back to the person responsible for this
Your hands shakily extend past the barrier, cradling in them the thing that she asked-no, DEMANDED of you
"H-Here you go....M-Ma'am."
"One Tall Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino, with chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, and extra whip cream."
