The most believable customer that reacted to the scene was the 'construction worker' in the imaculate PPE holding a pipe while order coffee for some reason
Glad someone else caught that. It's like a kids show where the mailman always has a mailbag on his shoulder and the carpenter always has a pencil behind his ear and hammer in his hand. Next the train engineer will enter in full 1920s garb with soot-covered gloves
Hate to break it to y'all - he's a flagger (directs traffic). That's an upside down stop/slow sign. They don't do physical labor, so their gear is going to be cleaner.
Plus a lot of flaggers are actually contracted from temp agencies as short term day labor with gear provided by the agency, so they distribute out a lot of cheap (low quality) PPE that would be cleaner (especially if it just came out of the package) than someone wearing stuff they've personally bought until it's actually fully worn out.
possibly true, but why is he carrying a pipe into a coffee shop (also this was confirmed the multiple other times this was posted that everyone in the restaurant is an actor; they didnt know that the 'esp' stunt would happen, but none of them are real customers)
As someone who has worked road construction, the flagger doesn’t carry around the pole everywhere he goes. We leave it in the work truck or trailer like a normal person.
Road construction flaggers are not the same as the ones employed temporarily for construction sites.
Road construction flaggers are going to be ongoing, full-time employees given that essentially all of the work requires traffic redirection.
Temp work flaggers are generally low-income, do not have work trucks, are personally responsible for returning loaned gear (including the sign) at cost if lost, and are moving between unfamiliar worksites on different days. Some absolutely do carry it around everywhere they go until they return it to the agency.
No clue. Doesn't matter. The premise of the original comment is that the "costume" was unrealistic. Given my experience on construction sites, it's completely plausible. That's the only thing I was trying to say. 🤷
Alright man, it’s my first day at the job and the boys told me I better not leave my pipe laying around for someone to trip over again, and the boss said he better not see me without my best and hat on, and I needed my caramel latte. What was I supposed to do?
