everytime i watch something like this it reminds me how i gave a waitress a 100 tip then my friends joined in and gave her a total of 260 dollars, she cried so hard and thought we were joking and it was just so emotional. i will always remember that moment, she even took a picture with all of us. that's how cool she was. I hope she's doing better in her life
I love this channel so much, binge watched the last two days while making a dolly for my granddaughter. It's wonderful to see all the creativity in film.
@@eugenetswong in the beginning when the criminals are in the car, the younger says to the older, "Sydney, it says cash only". And when the credits roll, it states that Gene Jones played the role of Sydney.
@@debloml I think eugenetswong was asking which character in *this* film was Gene Jones. Not sure why they didn't simply go back and check for themselves in a such a short film (which makes it really easy), but I chose to be magnanimous and explained for them.
To be honest, I think it's much easier to create tense situations and interesting characters in a shorter time frame sometimes. There doesn't have to be a massive build up before the climax. Given the opportunity to be 2-3hrs long, most of these shorts would flop from having to pad out and dilute their films.
I thought so many different things...that the older guy was setting him up...either to take the money for himself or leave the guy to get caught..or shoot him. He actually wait for him outside and they went on to the next step of...the process lol
More like this please. Good directing and the dialogue was excellent and so was some of the acting. Love Jack. The premise and plot were a bit lacking, but were well made up for by the writing, acting and directing.
great directing. cool to see the supporting cast with recognizable faces from projects like uncut gems and no country for old men. and is this the cinematographer from Barbarian? pretty legit stuff. would love to see what all of these actors and this filmmaker do next.
VERY well done in all ways. In one of these short films on this platform(Chipper) and see/hear this short has terrific people in front and behind the camera.
Yep... it's absolutely insane, sure she should be rewarded extra just for bringing few boxes from kitchen window to his table....wow indeed 😂 and then get worked out about not receiving extra for it 😅 seriously victim mentality+entitlement big time
it's not the people that follow that though, it's the greedy restuarants for even suggesting it. when I get takeout and they ask me what the tip is I stare blankface. most normal people do this too, only bootlickers tip on a takeout order. cause that tip aint going to the chef so it's pointless
I was a waitress in college & I’d rather wait on 2 tables than have to do 1 takeaway order. It takes more time to box everything up, put sides & condiments in there individually than to just bring the plate right to the table. Also, I don’t think people understand that at the end of the day your server has to then tip out other people (busboys, bartenders, food runner) based on their sales not what you actually made. So, when someone stiffs you, you actually have to pay out for it. It’s a messed up system, but you can make good money.
Nice parallel stories. Boss and female employee vs Old man and young man. Old man keeps talking about his processes and don't let the daily task to be your master. Which is reverse situation to the boss and employee where boss is very nervous guy that the daily tasks are his master. And the female employee stay true to her principle all the and gets rewarded in the end. 1. compount interest = tips 2. process = principle
Gene Jones - what a GREAT actor. can't wait for some smart casting director to put him in his own movie ~ as the LEAD. He can be a scary mother****er, he was the BEST thing about "Killers of the Flower Moon"
What’s the point? The waitress will spend the marked money which will almost immediately be identified and she will gain nothing except a police interrogation.
Only released on the internet a few days ago on the 2nd, but it was screened at film festivals all throughout last year. How long ago were you thinking? Im just wondering if you could be experiencing a Mandela Effect.
So, she's clumsy, unfriendly, ungrateful, argumentative, aggressive and loud and gets rewarded with what? 3k cash? I must be misunderstanding something here.
@helpstopanimalabuse8153 Lol, no worries. I actually don’t think there was a diversion. That was my first thought but looking back it just worked out like that. When the waitress and the guy who didn't pay were arguing, I thought she was a part of the plan, but there was no plan. Her surprise to the money confirms it.
she has nothing to do with the crime, and she'll push them easily... the problem is that the rest of the loot in the trunk is inked too... so the lesson is about ''the process''... it failed!... it will be very difficult for them to push that money, and if they do, it will be cheap... that's why the ''fat tip''...
I don’t think it has holes, it’s just elliptical storytelling which works well for a short because you don’t have time fill in all the blanks but can leave things implied.
So, the sub text of the hard life of waiters in the US is clearly stated. As is the exploitative nature of the small scale diners. But, why did the younger criminal intern dump the whole stash of cash, because one note was bloodstained? - because 'he didn't follow the process'?
not to be a dick but her whole argument was that he didnt tip and she cant survive without it. firm believer in the reservoir dogs mr pink idea that its not on the customer to help sustain pay when the establishment should pay a decent living wage. i know this is out of left field. im just saying.
I don't know if that meaning is an urban legend, but I did hear it 30 or 40 years ago. People have come up with a lot of creative meanings for acronyms. It may mean that...or it may be tantamount to "a tip of the hat" (old-timey saying) for good service.
Mostly good except there’s insufficient motivation on the part of the restaurant owner for being such an over-the-top jerk. It’s not like the restaurant was even halfway busy.
So what's the story, I don't get it..? "Criminals come into a diner, where a waitress is having a hard day and one of the criminals leaves her all his bills because they're marked with blood/ink, just as she gets fired." .. aaaand then what? That's not a plot, that's a scene. There's no story here? What's the conflict? What's the climax? I don't follow short films like this that don't seem to be about anything really. Just a few minutes in time that happened were showcased, that's it.
@@1SwiftAngela an explanation? Re-read the first sentence, it ends in a question mark. Actually, there's a lot of question marks. Y'know why? 'Cause I'd love some answers. I've never understood short films with seemingly no plot, so I'd love to understand them. So please, do share any info on them you have.
I adore this kind of plot, random strangers whose lives get connected one night in a random cafe. Superb job.
Me too!
Loved the gripping dialogue between the newbie and expert criminal. Great short film!!
The manager is Jack, Mr. Jack Ass. The world is full of them.
Great acting, great dialogue, lighting and frame composition. Awesome work by everyone.

She was part of the process showing up every day.
Really great to see Gene Jones! I think he deserves more roles. Loved him in No Country for Old Men
So, that was him! - well, he did sweat in that movie scene with Javier Bardem! - and who wouldn't?
Which character was Gene? I looked at the credits, but I don't recall the names of the characters in the film.
@@eugenetswong He was the gas station owner in the first scene.

Short films have more depth of character and better writing than most 2 hour + films these days.

6:00 ... That guy is from No Country for Old Men... Good actor.
yes good actor
Omg no wonder i always thought he looked familiar! He was the store owner and Anton asked him to 'call it' right?
this was so incredibly nice. from the dialogue to the music choice.
This is well shot well lit well-edited acted everything
The writing was superb!
This is like an all-star cast. So well done.
Old man in red has been putting his whole life on that coin flip.
The best part of this was the elderley robbers philosophy of “The Process” that was pure genius ,the rest Well what can I say
I agree-the dialogue with them is great. The story just never really went anywhere.
I thought so many different things...that the older guy was setting him up...either to take the money for himself or leave the guy to get caught..or shoot him. He actually wait for him outside and they went on to the next step of...the process lol

Wasn't the Manage the killer Thug who killed the Adam Sandler character in Uncut Gems?
@@HoldenNY22 yep
Brilliant dialog, acting, and camera work! The underdog comes out on top!
If the bank notes were marked with anti-theft ink, how would they be of any use to the waitress?
Either that or it was blood. In both cases, tough luck
Someone here said the Anti-Theft Ink will Dry
I get money from the bank sometimes with dye pack ink on it. I don't think they really care about it at most banks.
@@thebigdog2295 I think the dye is supposed to explode to eventually/potentially ID the robbers, the bills go back into circulation?
@@roberthoffhines5419Dye, or a separate device?
Tack!
Great film. Those criminals reminded me of Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock in "Nurse Betty". I was so happy the waitress came out on top.
She's a terrible human being and an even worse employee.
I'm so happy for Nicky 💖
VERY well done in all ways. In one of these short films on this platform(Chipper) and see/hear this short has terrific people in front and behind the camera.
Beautiful story told. Wow and great cinematography
Tipping on take away/take out??? WTF? The USA is strange with tipping!

Very well acted and shot. Interesting characters. A little suspense. Worth a watch.
Great drama, again, thank you. x
Dang...she didn't break the dish boy off😆
Omeletto you really do a great job with your short films. I’m surprised you have never made a full length feature.
This was a really good one!
Wow! That money came right on time. I wonder why he left her so much though. Did the blood scare him off?
They were inked
@@aspirespire8847 The money had anti-theft ink on it. I hope, that she would be able to pass them.
“Call it. Excuse me? Call it.”
That's the guy from no country for old men, that owns the gas station.
Great acting and plot
really liked this
definitely deserves some sort of award
He stopped working at the gas station after the coin toss. Hes a changed man.
Can we have a one I understand next please? The last couple have baffled me 😂
😂 I feel the same way!
When I don't get it, I read the description. Then the comments. Someone will often explain the scene that isn't clear.
Same here...three in a row and today wasn´t my Omeleto day. I need a beautiful round and closed story from time to time.
Is this the coin flip guy from No Country for Old Men?

2. process = principle
Old guy almost got killed due to the results of a coin flip once.
My goodness, but Gene Jones is an incredibly natural actor.
Mores the pity we don’t see more of him.
No diner serves peas 😂
It’s kind funny how the boss criminal is a bit similar to the Boss proprietor?
This was great!!!!!
Gene Jones - what a GREAT actor. can't wait for some smart casting director to put him in his own movie ~ as the LEAD. He can be a scary mother****er, he was the BEST thing about "Killers of the Flower Moon"
This was very well done, but i hated that waitress 😂
I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm a Virgo and I trip out over this kind of a plot. That's why I love Omeleto.😅
I enjoyed the film but the guy who played Sydney (Gene Jones) was brilliant.
Cheers
Hi sidekick was brilliant too
What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?
@@vincentdimitri169 I hardly gamble
@@philreynolds2465 Never seen "no country for old men" i take it?

Didn't they already release this?
Only released on the internet a few days ago on the 2nd, but it was screened at film festivals all throughout last year.

@@JoshPhoenix11I think I originally saw this on Film Shortage a couple days ago
it went to Santa Barbara International Film Festival last year, if I'm not mistaken
good acting all the way around. Very impressive.
Something about these puts me in a depression....
Happy Ending.
Acting was great
I only clicked on this one because i recognized her as from the show Insatiable.
So, she's clumsy, unfriendly, ungrateful, argumentative, aggressive and loud and gets rewarded with what? 3k cash? I must be misunderstanding something here.
Everything was fantastic, but those visuals were creamy! Great job Zack Kuperstein
I'm a little confused on the part where he just throws in all of his money
It’s counterfeit.
it has blood on it
At one point I thought she was part of the 'process'. The diversion was too perfectly timed
Could you elaborate on the "Diversion" i missed it, still scratching my head (Don't want to get splinters).
@helpstopanimalabuse8153 Lol, no worries. I actually don’t think there was a diversion. That was my first thought but looking back it just worked out like that. When the waitress and the guy who didn't pay were arguing, I thought she was a part of the plan, but there was no plan. Her surprise to the money confirms it.
I almost thought this too. When she poured their coffee, she was totally silent and cold, like she knew them.
I think inadvertently, she was part of the process & that's what he meant when he gave his speech on it
Gene Jones! Great actor!
It’s actually cute that this is. . .topical.
I just learned what TIPS means🙋♀️🤣
I think it actually means "Trapped In Predatory System"
or perhaps "Theft of Income by Petty Supervisors"
@@dexterford8094 LOL..those are good too..
I don't understand why he gave the Waitress all that money. I gues I missed something.
This old ''FRIENDO'' looks familiar to me ...
So good! So understated!
Cruel world, life is unfair, Is there a god? Enjoyed the shirt film.
Is the waitress going to be able to use the bills or not??
she has nothing to do with the crime, and she'll push them easily... the problem is that the rest of the loot in the trunk is inked too... so the lesson is about ''the process''... it failed!... it will be very difficult for them to push that money, and if they do, it will be cheap... that's why the ''fat tip''...
No. If she uses them…she’ll be arrested and charged.
@@MrMnmn911 Self Check out would work lol
so many good stories out there, but hollywood keeps giving us dreck.
Is that the actor from No Country For Old Men? The gas station store keeper?
Beautifully shot, superb acting, very interesting dialogues, but the scenario is weird with big holes and zero clues.
I don’t think it has holes, it’s just elliptical storytelling which works well for a short because you don’t have time fill in all the blanks but can leave things implied.
It's the " No Country for Old Men" coin flip guy!

I believe, that all the bills were stained with anti-theft ink.
The bills were marked.

Hot Damn 🔥
Mostly good except there’s insufficient motivation on the part of the restaurant owner for being such an over-the-top jerk. It’s not like the restaurant was even halfway busy.
why giving evidence to a waitress instead of tossing the money in the garbage? doesnt make any sense................
this is what will happen if mr.beast becomes old and dine unnoticed which he cant do anymore .
That's not bad advice.
God works in mysterious ways!!
Why tf he leave that much money very confused
IM JUST GLAD ITS IN HER HANDS 🙌 ❤❤❤😅
Gripping stuff!

If its blood on the note, yiu can use it to buy meat and claim, it's animal blood.
