SEATTLE'S BEST COFFEE: MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
At Seattle’s Best Coffee, we’re confident our coffee will satisfy coffee lovers, as it has for over 40 years. But to make sure our customers feel valued and appreciated, we’ve instituted a “Money Back Guarantee”. If they’re not completely satisfied, we’ll send them a full refund. It’s a great idea, only...no one has taken us up on it yet.
“COMPLAINT’S FAIR” (:15)
Open on a large banner that says “COMPLAINT’S FAIR” in big letters.
Inside the gym, people hustle about stopping at different booths to complaining. Everyone holds a cup of Seattle’s Best Coffee.
A lady holds up her computer in front of a booth labeled: “SPINNG BEACHBALLS OF DEATH”
Lady: "See?? Days now. I can’t do anything!"
A man animatedly engages a person at a booth labeled: “DRYERS” He’s wearing clothes two sizes too small.
Man: "One load. Really?!"
Seattle’s Best Coffee’s booth is completely empty. The workers smile eagerly but no one stops by.
One lady pauses in front of their booth.
She takes a sip of her coffee and quickly moves on. The workers look at one another and shrug.
VO: "Seattle’s Best Coffee. We guarantee you’ll love it or you can have your money back."
“Money Back Facility” (:30)
Open on a pristine, brand new facility. A sign says: “Seattle’s Best Coffee: Money Back Facility”. It’s silent.
Inside, the place is in mint condition. Never been used. The inbox and outbox are clear.
The complaints jar is empty. A computer screen with a document titled: “Money Back Returns” is blank.
One man, leaning back in his chair, bounces a ball against a wall. Another places a cookies over both eyes. A third pours a cup of coffee.
Suddenly the phone rings. Everyone’s alert.
Man: "Everyone stay calm. Let’s not get our hopes up."
Woman: "This could be our first."
Man: "Alright, you all know what to do."
They all break. One person grabs a blank envelope.
Another searches through a drawer and pulls out a stamp.
The third frantically unlocks the vault.
Man: "Hello?"
There’s a pause. Everyone freezes.
Receiver: "The is a test of the emergency broadcast system. Please –"
Everyone groans. One turns and walks away. Another punches the air.
Man: "Sorry everyone. Maybe someday."
VO: "Seattle’s Best Coffee. We guarantee you’ll love it or you can have your money back."
