no one? dang, this is the worst one of my threads has done...

Maybe they could first talk to each other whilst taking deliveries in through the back, she drops something and comes to her aid.

Cheesy but a random thought.

Maybe this woman is stealing from the grocery store. And then the dude in charge blames the man and he has to decide whether or not he wants to keep his job or be with this woman.
or
Maybe he finds this woman intriguing but cant summon the courage to talk to her or ask her out. He decides to find out what her interests are first so he follows her home one night, and then realises there is more to her then meets the eye. She is involved with a group of terrorists planning to take over the grocery store.
or
Maybe these two like each other, but they both share a secret. She is really a MAN and he is really a WOMAN, so in the end, everything works out fine.

I'll be honest. I've got nothing. I'll keep at it though.

What about if they worked together? Who says she has to be a customer?

Shouldn't there be more to the story than the night shift? Unless that alludes to something else...was there something you had in mind to make this movie worth that name? Everything in the story happens at night, not just the relationship? Is the story really all about the relationship? I think there should be more.

ya i was thinking they work together and most of the story was going to take place while at work, so at night and in the store, but there could be a couple of scenes away from the store i guess, i just need some basic ideas to get going, i can see some scenes in my head but i cant really think of a good story...

Ok well I don't know if you will like this idea but I'll give it a shot anyways... The girl can be getting in trouble from her supervisor b/c she messed up (ordered the wrong products, didn't stock the shelves properly, ect.) and The boy sticks up for her b/c it wasn't really her fault, it could be some other worker... That could possibly be how they meet. Then you just need to establish some common ground between the two of them to create conversations of interest... And maybe once they meet she could ask him to go for coffee when they are on break, and they can go have coffee together and if you want there could be a coffee place in the store, that way you even keep the story focused around the store.

Just an idea... Hopefuly it can be of some use to you, but if not let me know and I'll see if I can get you some more ideas

ya i like that idea, its great. i havnt worked on this in a while, im really busy with work, but i will hopefully start back soon. thanks for all the help.

No problem, I'm glad that you liked the idea
