At a diner Nancy collects her pay and says she’s saving for medicine for her sick brother Harold. Coworkers belittle her earnings and one arranges for men to “amuse” her while Cheryl tells them to keep the waitress distracted. Nancy then accepts a phone offer to move bricks at a construction site for $80 an hour, a possible way out. Back on shift she endures rude customers: a plate is dropped and a man pushes into her lap, swearing. The new job shifts her options, but the immediate harassment forces a tense decision.
