The World Grinds On: A Play in One Scene

This happened a few days ago, but I keep thinking about it, so. Have a short play!

Scene: A Starbucks.

[Woman ahead of me approaches the counter with a sandwich in hand.]

WOMAN: Can I also get a latte and one of the blueberry muffins?

EMPLOYEE: My, someone’s hungry! [Calls the drink, gets the pastry.]

[Man behind me approaches the counter with a sandwich and a banana in hand.]

MAN: Can I also get a latte and a slice of lemon loaf?

EMPLOYEE: Sure thing! [Calls the drink, gets the pastry.]

…oh, SOCIETY.
