Episode 5 - Greg's Management

Episode 5 - Greg's Management

It is Harold’s first day back after his training session and Maj is eager to see if he has practiced enough to be left alone working the fryer. After a few test runs, she is impressed with what Harold has learnt.
Meanwhile Greg is skulking around near the back of the checkouts, he is carrying a pair of pliers and looking rather suspicious. When he sees the camera crew following him he jumps, explaining that he is just carrying out some routine checks and repairs.
During which time Maj jumps onto the checkouts with Heema as business suddenly picks up. With Maj’s extra help things are running smoothly, that is until she goes to use the drinks machine Greg ‘repaired’…as she is serving a customer; the nozzle explodes in her face and soaks her with sticky smelly drink. Maj now has to make a run home to change her uniform, as she is drenched from head to toe. With Maj incapacitated for a few hours, Greg is left in charge. He spends most of his time in the office with his feet up, away from any customers and problems whilst the others are out front running around after orders. Greg soon becomes bored and comes out to cause a little chaos.
Ernie has been trouble free for some time now, much to Greg’s disliking, so seeing this he decides to give him some dirty work. Sending Ernie outside to clean the gutters and empty the bins.
Greg then focuses his attention on Harold, harassing him about his condition. As he heads back to the office Greg leaves Harold to stew in the anger and insecurities he has stirred up in his verbal attack. Harold then begins deep frying everything he can get his hands on; from his hat and shoes, to customers whole bagged orders. Harold’s training has become lost deep within the recesses of his adolescent brain. Heema quickly spots this as she passes and is able to calm Harold down. She also notices Greg is in the office doing very little, so takes the management of the diner into her own hands. She is able to get things under control just as the rush calms down and as Maj returns.
