The Shoe Carnival Character List: Whitley (Cashier) Raymond (Floor Supervisor) Jessica (Floor Supervisor) Brett (Sales Associate) Karen (Loss Prevention) Shoplifter (female) Customer #1 Police Officer Extra Customers in store Setting: The Shoe Carnival is a retail store where this scene takes place. It is approximately 7 p.m. and one of the employee's, Whitley is returning to work after a brief break. Just as she is approaching the entrance to the store she notices the flashing police lights and a crowd of spectators. She also notices Raymond the Floor Supervisor standing at the door. Employees are wearing lime green shirts and kaki pants; Shoplifter and customers are wearing regular street clothes and the police officer is in uniform.

Whitley:" Raymond, what's going on?" Raymond: "That lady just tried to steal some shoes and she got caught!" Whitley:" Are you serious? I miss everything! Why did I have to go on break?" Raymond: "Ha, Ha!" (Chuckle) (Jamie and Jessica are in the "mike stand" and Karen is on the steps.) Jamie: "Whitley you missed it girl!" Jessica: "Ha Ha, we caught her and now she looks like a fool!" Whitley: Where is she? Karen: "She's in the back office with the police". (Karen leaves and goes to the office, and Brett walks up toward us.) Brett: "Man! I did a great job holding that big lady down!" (Raymond over hears this conversation and comes over) Raymond: "Brett, if I remember correctly, you were standing behind the shelf the whole time while I held the lady down".

Brett: (Loudly) " Dude! Whatever! I don't know what you " re talking about!" (Everyone laughs at both Raymond and Brett as they continue to argue) Jessica: "Whitley that man is ready to check out". (Begrudgingly, Whitley slowly walked up to the register where Customer #1 was patiently waiting). Whitley: "Hello Sir, how are you doing? Did you find everything you were looking for?

Would you like any socks or shoe cleaner?" Customer #1: "No thank you, this is fine". Hey what's going on?" Whitley: "Oh nothing, this lady just tried to steal some shoes. We caught her and called the police". Customer #1: "That is crazy. People these days will do anything". (Whitley rings up the customer's purchase and soon returns to the mike stand).

Whitley: "Thank you and come back again". Raymond: "You gave him the correct change didn't you?" Whitley: "Of course I did". (Suddenly the police officer escorts the shoplifter from the office out of the store to the police car. Everyone is watching; looking at the handcuffs and their conversations continue).

Karen: "The officer said he was going to take her to jail". Whitley: "That's one pair of shoes prevented from being loss". Everybody laughs, because Karen is the "Loss prevention manager.".
