I don't understand why these customers behave like assholes. It's just an expensive grocery store.

A woman slapped me because we ran out of the good avocados. This place is stupid.

Don't shop at Premium Foods.

Fine. I'll bring it up. We'll see what happens.

[He still doesn't think it's worth doing but it might be a bonus if they end up firing him.]

Register. Stocking and unloading when needed.

[sociallychallenged]

Wish you could get put on stock duty. It sounds like it'd be easier. But usually managers like to take anyone with a relatively young face and all of their teeth and put them at the register, even if they fucking suck at it.

[Even if you're remotely attractive the service industry causes you to suffer.]

[silentnarration]

You might be right. I told them I don't want to do anything with customers so they lied about the storehouse jobs being filled.

Are businesses always this shady?

[sociallychallenged]

Pretty much. Capitalism is a bitch.

[silentnarration]

I'm going to be a bodyguard after this.

[sociallychallenged]

Being the shmuck in a dunking booth is more humane than working retail. It sets the lowest bar.

[silentnarration]

War makes more sense than this.

[sociallychallenged]

Where I'm from capitalism and war have a lot to do with each other. It might be the same here. I wouldn't count on it getting better, I'd just start looking hard for that bodyguard job.

[silentnarration]

I'll take your word for it.

[It's not like they studied much about economy. Just whatever level of general education to keep them functional as soldiers.]

Thanks.

Do you know if the girl's all right? The one we helped that day.

[Not even questioning if this is the same Hank he met that day. Or remembering to identify himself beyond his username.]

[sociallychallenged]

Yeah. They found her parents pretty quick. She was fine.

[She didn't ask any bothersome questions that bothered the watchers. Which, apparently, even watch here to an exasperating (but not exactly surprising) level.]

They were grateful she got help.

[silentnarration]

[Oh. That is a relief.]

Good. That's all I wanted to know.
