THE EXPERIENCE
Handsome Jack wasn't the first owner of LuXe, but in the time he's been in charge—a year? two? maybe more?—it has become what it is today—expensive, certainly, but clean, comfortable, and serving high-quality coffee precisely to your order.
Operating hours are 5am-9pm.
NOTE: Handsome Jack is ostensibly still in charge here, but Rhys (partcompany) has been doing the real running of it since about day 27. Weird.

LuXe is always hiring dedicated applicants for a variety of positions, and the pay is among the best in the city!
If you want your character to work at LuXe, they don't have to talk to Jack—in fact, Jack would rather not be bothered with the day-to-day hiring process of all the service personnel. If they apply in person to the coffee shop you can assume an NPC manager hired them, or speak to one of the other PC employees. Just be sure to comment below so you can get added to the list for everyone's reference.
Working at LuXe means long hours, no breaks to speak of, and strict punishments for slacking or underperforming. Some of the front-line managers are slightly less fascist about this than Jack himself, and will schedule you for mostly-sane shifts and just give you strict talking-tos, but there's always an impression that you're getting off easy with this, and some of those managers don't last long. Other times you might end up scheduled for a 16 hour shift with a 5 second lunch break. And, if you do badly enough to gain the attention of Jack himself (or are just in the wrong place at the wrong time), well...
There is a door labeled "Break Room" in the back, but it's always locked. Jack is the only one with a key to it. The rumors say that sometimes people do go in there with him, and when they show up to work the next day they always seem rattled, nervous, unwilling to say anything about it, and eager to avoid any mistakes.
Sometimes they don't show up to work again.
The Break Room is a torture room. It is full of swinging blades, wood chippers, acid traps, or whatever other over the top death machines Jack thinks would be funny that day. If you are interested in a trip to the break room, we can work out the details.
