Having devoted years of my life to customer service, I thought this might be a funny anecdote and a prelude and homage to the poor schlep just trying to etch out a living by putting up with difficult people.
Instead I was sadly disappointed at what seemed to be little more than bathroom, sex and genitalia jokes that dominated the movie and culminated into moments of "who cares?" and it makes no sense.
If you could imagine filming grade school aged boys in the privacy of their own thoughts and circles of friends, then you might get a similar result to any given moment of "waiting". If you worship Beavis and Butthead to the point of enacting their every move and mindset, you'll enjoy "waiting."
The thing is, everyone in this cast i've seen in other movies and enjoyed, it's not that there's no talent, I don't blame the actors, what a genuine shame at a waste of everyone's time and talent. I'm not even sure who to pinpoint the blame on.
There's nothing funny, amusing, or thought provoking, about "waiting". There's nothing funny about the "game" played amongst the male staff, messing with food, bathroom sex, nervous urinating, crude discussions, nothing.
In fact the only sympathetic or relate-able character in the whole movie is Mitch, who seems to escape the charade of stupid and genuinely acts like a real human being. The rest of the overtired, clichéd one dimensional staff are so unlikable that it's impossible to feel empathy towards them when they have horrible customers.
I'm giving a generous 1 star, for the cast who I felt sorry for, and for the story thats suckitude is legendary.
