Extra character: the manager. The manager is a sharp-dressed man in his late 40s with a forced, toothy smile that barely hides his exhaustion. His tone drips with faux sincerity, every word laced with passive-aggressive charm. He thrives on undercutting entitled customers with veiled insults, wielding sarcasm like a scalpel. He greets Karen with overly saccharine phrases like, “Oh, ma’am, you’re so right, our policies are clearly the problem here.” Despite his polite exterior, his eyes scream, “I don’t get paid enough for this.” Beneath the theatrics, he enjoys the chaos, finding dark humor in the absurdity of it all.
