A/B/C Scene 3 (longform)

B is wearing a little red vest and a nametag. A enters.

A: Excuse me!

B: Yes?

A: Can you help me?

B: No.

A: No?

B: No.

A: Why not?

B: I don’t work here.

A: Oh. Beat.

A: Are you sure you don’t work here?

B: Positive.

A: Well, where are all the salespeople?

B: I don’t know. Beat.

A: Are you sure you don’t work here?

B: Absolutely

A: It must be the little red vest and the nametag. You sure look like you work here.

B: Nope.

A: Well, this is disgusting. I don’t have time to stand around here and wait for the salespeople to show up.

B: You said it.

A: What do they, think I have nothing better to do than stand around and wait ‘till they feel like waiting on me?

B: Must be it.

A: Well, I’m not waiting any longer! If this is their idea of how to treat a customer, they’ve got another thing coming! I’m never coming back to this store again!

B: You can say that again.

A exits.

C, wearing a little red vest and a name tag, enters.

C: So, how do you like the new system?

B: It’s okay. But I liked it better when we worked on commission.
