Dealbreaker Shawarma Scene

INT. SHAWARMA SHOP - DAY

The door chimes as a MAN (late 30s) walks into a small, slightly run-down shawarma place. It's 3:55 PM. He glances at the clock on the wall, then at a large, colorful poster in the window that reads:

“LUNCH COMBO - UNTIL 4 PM”

He approaches the counter where a bored-looking EMPLOYEE (20s) stands, wiping the counter with a rag.

MAN:
Hey, I’ll take the lunch combo.

The Employee raises an eyebrow, looks at the clock, then back at the Man.

EMPLOYEE:
Can’t do it.

MAN:
Why not? I’m here before four.

EMPLOYEE:
Only Monday to Friday.

The Man glances back at the poster, then at the clock again.

MAN:
Damn.

The Employee shrugs, still wiping the counter, not breaking eye contact.

EMPLOYEE:
Sorry, man. You want anything else?

MAN:
Kind of a deal breaker.

The Employee chuckles softly, shaking his head.

EMPLOYEE:
You sure?

MAN:
Yeah.

The Man gives the place one last glance and walks out, empty-handed, as the door chimes behind him. The Employee watches him leave, then goes back to wiping the counter, indifferent.

FADE OUT.
