weekday morning20 itemsAI audio0/16 complete

In a sunlit neighborhood coffee shop on a busy weekday morning, a barista stands behind a wooden counter. Above, a chalkboard menu lists specialty drinks while a glass display case beside him is filled with fresh pastries. A customer stands at the counter, pointing as she prepares to order. On the counter sits a paper cup with a secure lid and a digital card reader ready for a tap. The barista is about to heat up a breakfast sandwich while the customer holds a small paper receipt in her hand after her pay by card transaction. The scene shows the exact moment she will pick up her drink after the barista finishes the oat milk latte and asks if she needs anything else.
