Becky endures another mundane shift at the Coffee Shop until a series of customers force her to contemplate ditching the job forever. The story follows a struggling cafe worker who is desperately trying to survive one of the worst shifts of her life. The film attempts to address the feelings of alienation felt by minimum wage workers in coffee shops. Customer service is one of many minimum wage jobs that require constant face to face interaction. For an alienated and disengaged employee, confrontations such as these after a long period can become repetitive, boring, and analytical. Coffee Chains also offers suggestible notions about coffee addiction and the negative side effects which follow.
