ROBIN, a barista at a hipster coffee shop finishes making a triple shot espresso latte.
She brings the drink to the bar.
ROBIN: Triple shot espresso latte with hazelnut syrup for Chad.
CHAD approaches the bar.
ROBIN: Chad?
CHAD: That’s me.
ROBIN: Here you go. Have a nice day.
CHAD: I hope to have a good night.
ROBIN starts to walk to the back to make another drink.
CHAD: Hey! I said I hope to have a good night!
Pause.
CHAD: Hey Barista with the booty! What’s your –
ROBIN: NO! NO CHAD! NOT TODAY! YOU HERE ME? NOT TODAY!
Silence.
CHAD backs away.
He takes a dollar out of his pocket to put in the tip jar.
ROBIN: Keep your fucking money, CHAD.
ROBIN throws the dollar CHAD.
CHAD looks around as the entire coffee shop is staring at him.
He quickly leaves.
Blackout.
END OF PLAY.
