Now hiring: one barista for a fictional coffee shop, exact location to be decided by this quiz. Four famous TV coffee spots are accepting applications, and only one of them is right for you.
Position: Coffee Person. Part time, full drama.
Requirements: the ability to pour a decent cup while customers discuss their love lives at full volume. Must tolerate regulars who sit in the same seats for a decade and never try anything new. Experience with an orange couch is a plus. Patience with psychiatrists who have strong opinions about foam is a bigger plus.
Perks: free refills, unlimited gossip and coworkers who never seem to go to their real jobs.
Possible placements: Central Perk in Manhattan, where Gunther runs the counter and the couch is never free. Cafe Nervosa in Seattle, home of the Crane brothers and their very specific orders. Monk's Cafe, with a booth where Jerry and George talk about nothing for nine seasons. Or Luke's Diner in Stars Hollow, which bans cell phones and serves coffee to people who treat it like oxygen.
Applications close the moment you finish. Wear a name tag.
