Opening Scene
A group of slackers—DYLAN, AMALIA, MAYA, LINCOLN, CATE, and MALCOLM—in their late teens, early twenties—work at a supermarket. We join them in the break room, where they’re screwing around, bitching about work. A few other employees linger in the background.
Their boss, CALEB, a mid-20s control freak—climbing up the corporate ladder, clipboard in hand—instructs them to be on their best behavior today, because a major corporation is test-marketing a new product in the store.
Two models will be walking the aisles with trays of samples, under the supervision of MALLORY, who’s the marketing director for the corporation and JUST HAPPENS to be Caleb’s girlfriend. Mallory is as domineering as Caleb, and sneers at our slackers, scorning them with stories Caleb has told her about them. (As in ‘Tsk. Caleb said you were the dumb one.’)
The food is for CUSTOMERS ONLY. Under no circumstances can the EMPLOYEES eat the samplers. Caleb makes them repeat the rule back to them, despite his employees’ eye rolling.

Caleb (CONT´D)
And under NO circumstances are you to eat the samples. They're for the customers, not your lunch.
Customers enter the store and the clerks go to work. An obese
woman with a small child toddling after her, waddles up aisle
7 and pauses infront of the samplers.
