A high school teacher sits at home waiting for the supermarket delivery service. The delivery man is late, so she decides to leave. Hours later she finds that the shopping has been left at her neighbour's house and that the frozen food has been spoiled. She phones the supermarket to complain. The next day, Saturday, she is still in her night dress when the doorbell rings: it is the delivery man, an Ecuadorian immigrant with a job at the local supermarket. The man says that because of her call he has been fired. The teacher regrets the incident, but the man insists: she is responsible for his dismissal, she must find him another job, if not he will always be there, at her front door or at the places that she visits every day, waiting.
