* RealityEnsues: Has its own [[RealityEnsues/ServiceWithASmile page]].

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Averted with Alexander Sterling, a regional director of Café Prime, [[MegaCorp a major coffee retailer]], and Jaune's rival. While he does engage in marketing schemes that are barely disguised price-fixing, and he is personally [[{{Jerkass}} unpleasant and rude]] toward Jaune, [[VillainyFreeVillain he is operating within his rights as a competitor]]. Jaune himself tells off the Malachite Twins for wanting to treat a legal business like a rival gang to destroy. [[spoiler:Played straight, as it's revealed that the hoods who wrecked Jaune's place and injured him were working on orders from Café Prime. Later when he starts receiving bad press due to buying Jaune's building and evicting him, Sterling tries to have Jaune evicted sooner than is legal, even if he has to make up a reason why.]]

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: A benevolent example. When Jaune's shop gets robbed, Weiss uses her connections to get his store repaired, equipment replaced, and insurance paid out on the double.

** One of Pyrrha's fantasies involves herself, Jaune, Jaune's bed and this trope. Time will tell if she manages to invoke it.

** While Ozpin condemns Cinder for murdering Amber, Cinder rightfully points out that her forces fought Amber to obtain the Fall Maiden's power the only way they could, through murder, and they won. Even though Cinder's methods are neither moral nor legal, she won Amber's powers "playing by the rules of the game". She also rightfully points out that [[spoiler:Pyrrha]] will be hunted by Salem's forces for the rest of her life.

* AdaptationalWimp: Jaune in canon is a huntsman-in-training with his Aura unlocked. This version of Jaune is a normal civilian running a coffee shop.

* AdaptationalWimp: Canon!Jaune is a huntsman-in-training with his Aura unlocked. This version of Jaune is a normal civilian running a coffee shop.

* {{Adorkable}}: Jaune, despite becoming moderately successful, still retains his old adorkable charm. This endears him to pretty much everyone, but especially underworld figures.

** Like the author's other works, Roman's team was killed in the Mountain Glen incident.

** When recounting fighting in the tunnels to Mountain Glen and his teammates' deaths, Roman struggles to light his cigar and slips into a different accent.

* RealityEnsues:
** Yang accidentally dislocates Jaune's arm as she's only ever had Huntsman friends and forgot how fragile civilians were.
** Despite being high level criminals and terrorists, Roman and Cinder are far less antagonistic to Jaune than the district manager for a competitor cafe chain. To them Jaune is simply a humble cafe owner and thus not a threat to their plans.
** When Jaune finds his cafe being robbed, his attackers badly beat him with Jaune unable to get in a single blow in return. Despite his shame afterwards, Militia explains that he was alone, untrained, and unarmed against four armed attackers; the best he could hope for was to live through a beating. At worst, he'd have been killed.
** The district manager of Café Prime comes to Jaune with a contract regarding the upcoming Vytal Festival but it's filled with legal terms Jaune has trouble understanding. Naturally he goes to Weiss, who's been acting as his business consultant, right? Nope; Jaune instead makes an appointment with a lawyer specializing in business law to go over the contract and make any necessary revisions.
** Just because Jaune now has a ''very'' expensive lawyer representing him doesn't mean he's won against Café Prime. He still has to fight what is likely to be a long and drawn out legal battle against them, while avoiding any legal pitfalls they may throw his way.
** Ruby's different attempts at hiding when Mercury comes into Jaune's apartment each fail. Hiding on a shelf in his linen closet causes the shelf to come off the wall since it's not meant to hold a teenager's weight. Then hiding under Jaune's blankets fails because she didn't take care to hide her massive cape properly.
** After Jaune and Ruby learn Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury are criminals on a higher level than Junior or Roman, Jaune can't actually do anything about it. Ruby may be a Huntress in training with the support of everyone at Beacon, but Jaune's just a civilian who runs a diner.
** In Cinder's backstory, her mother hid her in a cubby when the Grimm attacked their village. Since Grimm are drawn to negativity, they quickly found Cinder's hiding spot and started digging their way through.
** Eventually, Café Prime decides to simply settle out of court, offering Jaune half a million lien and the firing of Sterling as reparation. While Jaune finds the whole thing anticlimatic, both his solicitor and Roman inform him it was almost guaranteed to happen.
** When the Grimm attack Vale, Jaune is armed with Aura and Crocea Mors. He completely fails to kill the sole Grimm that stumbles across his diner and his fear and pain draw ''more'' Grimm to him.
** After the Breach, all hospitals are overflowing with people injured in the attack and medical staff are dead on their feet trying to care for everyone.
** Jaune's problems with Café Prime officially end after the breach, when he gives out most of his gifts to those injured. His generosity and goodwill make him so beloved that he is untouchable to Café Prime, as it would destroy their reputation.
** Part of Pyrrha's success in tournaments came from her fans sending hate mail and threats to any possible competitors, which ruined their self-confidence and made them easier to defeat.
** Adam and Blake attempt to talk through HandSignals but have trouble getting all the relevant information across since said gestures were meant for silent communication on missions and are mostly used for designating targets and team formation. Also, Yang quickly notices what they're up to and suggests Blake simply go talk to the man.
** As Adam reveals, most of the White Fang didn't notice Blake's departure. She wasn't terribly high ranking so the few that did notice generally just assumed she died on a mission.
** Part of Jaune's rant against everyone involved is that while Vale and Atlas might well win a war against Cinder and the White Fang, countless civilians will die because of it.
** During the meeting, Jaune breaks a tray of cakes out of rage, cutting himself in multiple places, then proceeds to loudly curse out everyone in the room. While the speech succeeds in its goal, between the multiple sites of bleeding and the adrenaline crash he suffers, Jaune passes out as soon as he's finished.

* INever: The Twins take Jaune to the club's private room with Neo and Pyrrha in Chapter 24 for a few rounds of this. We learn in short order that he's been caught masturbating, gone through public exposure, and never kissed a girl. [[spoiler:Milita and Pyrrha happily correct that last one. A minute each. With tongue.]]

* RealMenWearPink: Junior is a mafia boss and addicted to Jaune's lattes. Chapter 39 reveals that his DrinkOrder is an extra large extra marshmallow chocolate sprinkle cappuccino.

** Oobleck's DrinkOrder is a triple espresso with less water than usual, which is strong enough Jaune feels sick just thinking about it.
