Need Diesel Barrista Cheat Sheet

[cthulhia]

Being a Tuesday afternoon futon fixture for almost a year now, I feel horrible that I don't know the names of the people behind the counter, wasn't able to connect their art to their faces when it was on display, etc. Is there a cheat sheet? Which one was the genius behind "a diesel puzzle for you" that hung over the condiments bar that month?

But, specifically, as I watched most of our couch crew (then on the sidewalk) ogle one as she got off shift, got on her bike and took off, I realized that Not One of Us knew her name.

So, she's one of the taller (butchier?) female barristas, recently dyed her always short hair from dark to blonde, although how recently I don't know because she often wears a bandana. I think she has an armband tattoo on her right bicep. Considering that we have an unspoken agreement (however in jest) with each other to say "yes" should she ever hit on any of us (even though this is firmly a fantasy because I'm sure she's taken), we should really, like, know her name.

(I hope she's nothing but flattered if/when this gets back to her. We're not stalkers, we're just addicted to caffiene and smoke-free billiards. Now that more of us have found work this fall, we're loitering less and tipping more. yay.)

I don't know any of their names, but I also have a massive crush on one of the taller, butchier girls who had short dark hair (there are too many of them who fit that description to ever get us anywhere, I think.) I haven't seen her in months, so I don't know if she dyed her hair, but she has really nice arms and is smiley and wears glasses sometimes. the blond with the pointy septum (sp?) piercing is nice too. actually, I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed. they should raffle off dates or something.

they must be sick of this...

I think there may be only two really tall short-dark-hair ones. There's a tall, comparatively femme-y one who does all sorts of crazy hair styles.

It's not like there's a platoon of Barristas or that there's been high turnover of employees. It's really awful that I am there at least weekly and know none of their names. I suppose I am going to have to be brave and start introducing myself to them at the counter when I order. *shiver*

There'd be quite a market for a "Baristas of Diesel 2003 Calendar"...

Her name is Anne. She was the most gracious of the baristas so far when we asked her name.
A lot of them were taken aback, she grinned and asked our names in exchange.

She seemed less than thrilled about the idea of a Diesel barista calendar, tho. Alas.
