Hi there - this was okay - I didn't entirely see the point to it. Didn't see any major goofs with the formatting, just a few minors here and there (CUSTOMERS shouldn't be capped if they are non-speaking parts/ DIXIE had no introduction / & I'm not too sure your firstt two words are a great introduction to any work - "Boring, unoriginal" - quote.).
I felt that it was fairly well written - you've obviously written before and may have had some work produced - it was clearly filmable on a low budget.
I always think that some telling is fine now & again, but there was a little too much telling here, and it did become a little distracting.
The pace of the piece was pretty good, and it kept things going - it would look good on film; nice feel-good element to it - my only concern is if it is worth filming - it's fine as an excercise, but the editing would be the most testing part of it - it never really stretches the imagination, and the reveal is a little blunt. With a more convincing climax, this would be a more worthy piece of work.
