Waiting... is a 2005 American independent comedy film written and directed by Rob McKittrick (in his directorial debut) and starring Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, and Justin Long.

Dean, who has been working there for four years, learns from his mother that a schoolmate recently graduated from college and has secured a high-paying job in electrical engineering.

An altercation with a customer who left a pitiful tip to Dean results in Dan demanding an answer from him by the end of the day.

Dean is called to Dan's office to give his decision regarding the promotion, and turns it down and to instead return to college for a more promising future.

Mitch, who had been unable to speak all day, largely due to Monty's interruptions, finally rants about the entire staff and quits.

Prior to leaving, Mitch exposes his genitals in the form of "The Goat", which head chef Raddimus had said earlier would grant him instant god-status.

In a post-credits scene, Dan is shown arriving at the home of the customer that Dean had insulted earlier, incorrectly believing it to be the location of the party.
