RP Sample: His weekdays could be pretty unpredictable so the time before he got to any business he normally always followed his routine. Got up around 10 or 10:30 depending on how late he'd finished the night before (or that same morning), went for his run, got back and had a shower and got ready, then headed out to the coffee shop up the street for his breakfast. A large mochachino and a tub of fresh fruit and then either a bagel or a sandwich. As soon as the baristas saw him they knew what he wanted and he never had to actually place an order. He could simply pick up his food and go to the till and he knew that the coffee would be waiting for him at the end of the counter. And today would have been no different. If only when he got there, there was no sign on the door saying something about the coffee shop being closed for a day. It was a chilly morning with snow in the forecast and in spite of it being just a few yards further down he still wore a parka, his hands dug deep into the pockets. There was another coffee shop that he knew where he could get his fix, about ten minutes drive in Atlantic City. He decided to take his car and soon enough he was walking through the doors at the Daily Grind. "Morning man," he greeted the guy behind the counter. They were not on first name basis - Liam was never that friendly with strangers - but he was polite enough to offer a smile and a greeting to the staff. There was a man waiting in the queue in front of him, someone who obviously had no idea what to order with how long he was taking to make up his fucking mind, and Liam was growing impatient, tapping his foot. After an eternity it was his turn and he handed over the money for his things, then went to sit down at a table to wait for his order to be made.
