MANAGER TITLE: EIGHT
RECEIPT NOTES:
I’m glad to be part of your little, uh, gang of sorts.
I know, I know—watch the numbers, right? Don’t sweat it. :) Me and JM had a chat about that whole “Errata” thing. Bottom line: no need to stress so much over a single number. At least not yet, you feel me? I’ve read everything up to this point, and it seems like you all think of me as some kind of “Big Picture” guy, huh? Well, I guess that’s fair. I do have some big-picture ideas. But don’t mistake ideas for answers.
Anyway, I’m happy to help however I can. I also noticed JM seems to want something from me—though I can’t say I know what that is, and he won’t tell me. Probably should’ve filed that under the AND, am I right? Haha… just messing with you. I know coffee’s your thing. That’s the whole deal, right? So a few twists and turns along the way are to be expected. But trust me, if I had something you needed, I’d give it over in a heartbeat.
That reminds me, I should probably introduce myself more formally—or, uh, “informally,” I guess. My name’s Jack Octo. My friends usually just call me 8. You can call me 8, or Jack, or Octo—whatever floats your boat. :) I can’t say I’m as, you know, illustrious as you all are. I’m just… me. But when I heard what you guys were up to, I knew I wanted in. I’ve got a feeling this coffee venture is gonna be huge. It’ll be worth all the trouble—I know it.
And if things are heading in the direction I think they’re heading, we’re gonna need a combination Cafe and Diner more than ever. Big things are happening, not just here, but across the country. Maybe the world, if you can believe it. People are starting to wake up, and what’s the first thing you grab when you wake up? That’s right, a nice warm cup of coffee.
Anyway, I’ll be around, so just holler if you need me. :)
