At the coffee shop I worked at, I only had to take a bake shift once, maybe twice a week.[1] I'll never eat a muffin or scone ever again.
[1] Even then, I still had to smell it every day.
Tova:
I've never worked as a baker, but I did go through a phase of eating muffins almost daily during a time when they were kind of trendy (kind of like the way doughnuts, then cronuts, then ... etc became trendy, only back in the days when there was no Instagram around to magnify the trend). And yes, I did eventually get sick of them. I almost never eat them even now. It doesn't help that commercial muffins are almost always waaay too big.
I hope I never get sick of scones. I only ever eat them when I've made them myself, which isn't nearly often enough for any chance of that happening.
brasca:
Nice of Renee to invite Brun to work, but what does she expect her to do there all day other than feast on day old baked goods. Unless they got a computer or tablet handy it's not like she can apply for jobs while there.
BenRG:
I think we can definitely apply the old phrase "The lady doth protest too much" to Brun today. Quite frankly, Renee had her at 'muffins', no matter how much she grumbles about it. :lol:
As for what she's going to do all day? Well, she doesn't have to stay at The Secret Bakery all day! Renee was just using the lure of muffins in an attempt to normalise Brun's sleeping patterns so something vaguely diurnal-seeming. It is also possible that she's hoping that, after she sees it, Brun will like it enough to ask for a job there.
That said, Brun is free to roam the early-morning Northampton if she so wishes. If Jeph chooses to go that route, she can be our point of view as he takes us through the various characters' morning routines.

I want to vote Faye and Bubbles.

Are you sure that you understand the poll? An 'odd couple' are room-mates who are so unlikely and incompatible that they are a possible threat to each other's health and safety. Do you really think that about Faye and Bubbles?
Speaking of Faye and Bubbles, it looks like I was right to predict some kind of cliffhanger about them. I suspect that the next we'll know about them is when they turn up at Coffee of Doom for a post-work coffee (Faye) and tea trip (Bubbles).
USS Martenclaire:
....I want muffins now.
