“Espresso, hot.”
She had the little paper cup ready before the door to the restroom had even finished swinging shut. A slight mist followed the visitor out, sickly smelling like pumpkin spice.
“The nutmeg?”
“Extra nutmeg.”
“Thank you Julia.”
He shuffled up to the counter. Every time she tried to look at him. She could take in the black cloak, the cowl that covered his head, but every time she tried to make out his face things just got… blurry.
Instead she watched him pluck his pouch from his belt. A weathered hand held out his stamp card.
“One piece of silver,” he said.
“Nope.” She held up his card. “Tenth cup is free.”
“Then I gift the coin to you.”
“Thanks, but it’s kind of hard to cash in pieces of silver.”
His hand went to where his mouth would be, an audible gasp escaping hidden lips.
“I had no idea. Currency isn’t what it used to be.”
“I guess not.”
“We have other means of payment. Money is the root of all evil after all.”
His hand returned to his cloak, withdrawing a singular silver rectangle.
“Do you take American Express?”

AmEx is owned by a Jewish family, and the Jewish faith doesn't believe in hell/Satan anyway, so I'd like to believe that they would be willing to do it. It would be hilarious.

Even demons from down below know to tip properly. It's only the Christians who leave you fake money bible passages instead.
