Plot

Struggling musician Neal Downs works as manager of a little New Orleans eatery called Flakes, owned by an old hippie, Willie B, that serves nothing but cold cereal to its loyal clientele. When a rival franchise opens up across the street, Neal's girlfriend, the self-named Pussy Katz, applies for a job at the new establishment as a means of getting back at Neal for refusing to hire her at his place.

gollark: Idea: all Macron structs contain an implicit monoid.
gollark: Maybe I should write it in Python for now and port it "later".
gollark: The issue is that while the Rust and to some extent Nim versions are principled™, fast, and easy to deploy as they compile to mostly-static binaries, I cannot rapidly write and prototype accursuous code very fast.
gollark: But worse than supreme RUST™ types.
gollark: It isn't very good.
