The Great Setup Showdown

[Dave and Greenie stand in the middle of the gradually filling shop space]
[Workmen are working along the ScrunchCake side of the store, fitting fridges and heated display cases]

Dave: And this whole wall should just about fit the fridges.
Workman: All the way along here?
Dave: That's the plan. [hands Workman an actual plan]
Workman: Alright, we'll get on with this. Shouldn't take too long.
Dave: Thanks!

[Dave joins Greenie over at the empty videogame shelving units]

Green: So, you didn't order any actual retro games?
Dave: We've got..
Green: One. You're allowed one copy of Count Duckula 2. Maybe 2 to be thematic. But you aren't filling all these units with Count Duckula 2.
Dave: I’ve got a theming style in mind! Each unit can be a different theme. This unit with be horror, so Count Duckula, Castlevania, Ghosts and Goblins and such.
Green: Uhuh.
Dave: And this one can be cartoony, so New Zealand Story, and Outrun, and ..
Green: [cuts him off] New Zealand Story and Outrun?
Dave: Yeah.
Green: Together?
Dave: That's the plan. [hands Greenie an actual plan]
Green: Honestly, Dave, this makes no sense. Should you not be organising based on genre, or at the very least, what systems the games are for?
Dave: Why do normal? This isn't a normal shop.
Green: True.
Dave: And anyway, it's Retro! And Retro can be anything, as long as it's old.
Green: (sarcastically) Yeah, because nothing says retro like an empty shelf with no actual games on it.
Dave: Okay, fine. I haven’t ordered any games yet, anyway! I'm going to have to find more ebay listings, since you stopped me buying that Job Lot.
Green: That was months ago.
Dave: And now look at us. We could've had all these shelves full, by now.

[The workman comes across]

Workman: We can only fit three of the fridges along the wall.
Dave: What? But we measured it.
Green: Don't get me involved. The measuring was all yours.
Workman: They almost fit, but each fridge has a bumper along the bottom.
Dave: Bugger. The bumper. I forgot about the bumper. Can we take the bumper off?
Workman: That's not advised.
Green: I think you'll just have to make do with three fridges.
Dave: Three fridges out of four possible refrigerated containment units?

[Green gives Dave a knowing glance]

Dave: Can we dig a notch in the wall?
Workman: That wouldn't be advised either.
Green: We can make do with three fridges. One for savoury, one for sweet, one for chocolate.
Dave: But what about the sour ScrunchCakes?
Workman: We'll take the fourth fridge back to the depot, get you a refund.
Dave: OK, thanks. And what about the oven heating display warm things?
Workman: We can fit those in just fine. Don't worry. Your Smush Cakes will be well protected from the elements.
Dave: ScrunchCakes.
Workman: Those two.

[The workman heads back to the other workers, over at ScrunchCake section of the shop]

Green: It'll be OK, Dave. We'll figure it all out.
