Roland tells the story of the titular Roland (Dan Bierne), a young man working in an arts-and-crafts store who becomes the uncomfortable guardian of the employee-only “washroom” (must be a Canadian phrase) from an old man wishing to use the “washroom” and having absolute disregard for the rules that Roland so greatly wants to abide by.

Just because a customer feels entitled to something doesn’t necessarily mean that their entitlement can be fulfilled. Retail workers have to calmly deal with customers...
