It'd been a long, long day for poor old Chef Saltbaker. There's always a rush for toons to get in early for the freshest treats, but today was on a whole nother level. It had started fine- he'd gotten up early and baked everything like usual, then he set it all out in the display...then the customers came. All day it had been a nonstop line, noisy and rude customers, and a whole lot of complaining. Either he was too slow for some people or the line to get what they wanted was too long for their liking. Either way, he got the brunt of all those complaints.

He sighs, the day now over, and slumps over the glass counter. He's utterly exhausted. The door to the bakery jingling catches his attention. He's about to tell the person coming in off and that he's closed for the day until he sees it's you; a very familiar face. He's not sure why you insist on seeing him after hours though. Not that he minds- he likes talking with you, maybe more than he'd admit.
