Ep 2. The Date

Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager is a comedy web series that follows the misadventures of Chad Vader, a Sith Lord working as the day shift manager at a grocery store. In season 1 episode 2 titled "The Date," Chad finds himself in a dilemma when he is set up on a blind date.

The episode begins with Chad going about his daily routine at Empire Market, donning his familiar Darth Vader costume as he oversees the store's operations. Despite his imposing appearance, Chad is a well-meaning but socially awkward character who often struggles to relate to his coworkers and customers.

Chad's co-worker, Clint, notices that Chad has been feeling lonely lately and takes it upon himself to play matchmaker. Clint convinces Chad to go on a blind date, insisting that it will help him loosen up and possibly find love. Chad is initially hesitant, fearing that his unique job and eccentric personality will intimidate potential partners, but he eventually agrees to give it a try.

As the day progresses, Chad grows increasingly nervous about the impending date. He seeks advice from his other co-worker, Randy, who offers his questionable expertise on relationships. Randy's unconventional suggestions, including the use of pick-up lines and questionable fashion choices, leave Chad even more confused and apprehensive.

The time finally arrives for Chad's date, and he meets the woman, Mary, at a local restaurant. Mary is a genuine and caring person who manages to see past Chad's unusual behavior and extreme shyness. Throughout the evening, she tries to engage Chad in conversation, asking about his interests and hobbies. However, Chad's lack of experience in social situations leads to awkward and often hilarious moments, as he struggles to find common ground.

As the date progresses, Chad becomes more comfortable in Mary's presence, thanks to her understanding and patient nature. Despite his initial reservations, Chad starts to enjoy himself and begins opening up about his life as a Sith Lord and his job managing a grocery store.

Meanwhile, back at Empire Market, Clint and Randy eagerly await Chad's return to hear all about the date. They both have their own theories about how it went, with Clint being the more optimistic one. They imagine a romantic and heartfelt connection between Chad and Mary, hoping that Chad has finally found someone who can accept him as he is.

But as the evening comes to a close, Chad struggles to decipher whether the date was a success or a failure. His lack of confidence and experience make it difficult for him to interpret Mary's signals. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving both the audience and Chad uncertain about the outcome of the date.

"The Date" showcases Chad's endearing and relatable journey as he navigates the challenges of dating while juggling the responsibilities of managing a grocery store. The episode promises plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments as Chad grapples with his insecurities and attempts to connect with someone who accepts him for who he truly is.
