Synopsis:
Everyday life for an employee is rough. Everyday life for a bigot is even harder.When a group of diverse co-workers retreat to the break room for a routine mid-day snack, a quarrel about who gets the last pineapple-flavored water turns to a heated passive-aggressive battle among man, woman, white, black, yellow, brown, and little. In an environment where political correctness holds no bearing and epithets are rule of law, nine co-workers must settle their differences while being as professional as possible.
