Second Customer: Shizuo and Tom
Heiwajima Shizuo was someone she had bonded over their mutual dislike (hatred in Shizuo's case) of Izaya. They even went as far to swap blackmail stories so they can collaborate in getting back at him.
"Are you serious? He's afraid of fish eyes?" Shizuo asked Jasmine in disbelief.
"No, it's true. Just the other day, I served him our newest menu item, tuna eyeball sushi. He didn't even touch them, let alone even looked at his food. When he thought no one was looking, he used slight of hand to hide them somewhere on his person and then walked right out shortly after paying." The petite waitress described what she saw before leaning in like she was sharing a conspiracy. She quietly added, "Although later on, I stumbled upon some very happy cats in the front of the restaurant after I got off from work."
The thought of his arch nemesis being scared over a fish's body part sent him roaring with laughter. He never realized that Izaya had such a weakness, but then again, it's not like he ever got to know that insufferable troll.
Later on, while Jasmine was grocery shopping on her day off, she heard a rather girlish scream and looked up to see a man flying down towards her at a rapid rate. Thanks to her Seeker-refined reflexes, the young woman was able to step aside just in time for the man to hit narrowly avoid colliding with her. She then heard the sound of running footsteps approaching and turned to see Shizuo and his employer, Tanaka Tom.
"Hard day at work, boys?" The young woman chirped at them with a friendly smile as if there isn't a crumpled mess of a man painfully groaning at her feet.
"Uh…yeah, sure…Um, are you okay, JK-chan?" Tom asked in both bewilderment and concern at her behavior.
"I'm perfectly fine. Why?" Jasmine blinked, not understanding what Tom was trying to convey.
"It's just… Most people are… Women typically…" The deadlocked debt collector tried to explain.
"Yes?" The petite witch chirped, patiently waiting for him to explain.
"You know what, never mind!" Shizuo interrupted and grabbed their target by the back of the neck and walked off with Tom following suit.
This wasn't the first time they witnessed Jasmine's nonchalant reaction to the violent reactions of the strongest man in Ikebukuro. During one of Izaya and Shizuo's infamous clashes, Jasmine can be seen in the audience cheering the taller man on all while tossing witty and profane insults towards the infobroker. She even pulled out a freaking huge-ass megaphone out of her purse and somehow made a giant flag with the black-haired man's X-ed out face appear out of nowhere!
What the actually fuck?! When did life suddenly turn into an anime?!
"Why am I not freaking out, you ask? It's because I've seen crazier stuff back home. This is nothing~!" The Russia Sushi waitress replied merrily.
The bartender-clad man and the petite waitress exchanged contact info shortly after. Rumors began to spread about them dating only to stop cold once they've reached the "supposed couple's" ears. Unsurprisingly, the dyed-blond man went on another rampage while the young woman seemingly did nothing.
At least people assumed she had done nothing until the instigators of the rumors were found strung up in a park in just their underwear and covered head to toe in eye-gougingly, neon-bright colors with British insults written out in glitter.
Even after Jasmine had moved out of Japan, they still occasionally contacted each other via texting. Though Shizuo does occasionally complain about Tom teasing him about their "long-distance relationship", no matter how many times he's pointed out that his relationship with the young woman was comparable to his friendship with Celty.

AN: To be honest, I imagine Jasmine's relationship with Shizuo is a lot similar to his friendship with Celty. She's not afraid of Shizuo's strength, nor is she very normal. *cough* Witch. *cough* It also helps that he can spend time with her roasting Izaya.
