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.

Edit: who's censoring this

[ Heather is cheap and, thus, has cheap tastes. She wants trash, thank you very much. She gives it a thought and then shrugs. ]

Poptarts? Or, fuck... [ Hold on, that's a brand and it didn't exist in the last store and it probably won't exist here. How the hell does she describe fucking poptarts? ] Strawberry... breakfast... pastries?

[ She never knew how much she'd miss recognizable brands, ok. ]

[silentnarration]

[He frowns. The description only increasing his confusion. He tilts his head to the side.]

Have you tried the bakery?

[Yes, this will go well.]

I'm actually looking for something less... [ Oh god, how does she put this without it sounding... really gross? The answer: you kinda don't. ] fresh. You know, prepackaged crap that has a shelf life longer than you really should be comfortable with?

Back home, they're usually found with things like breakfast cereals. [ Please know what cereal is because she has no idea how to explain that, either. ]

[He knits his eyebrows at the thought of long-lasting pastries, but it also sounds like it's more of a snack? He kind of wants to try it if they can find it. Canned and prepacked food is a familiar concept at least. He gestures behind him with his thumb.]

Cereal's over there. There's a screen you can use to look up items too.

[Might be faster than trying to help him understand poptarts.]

Oh, fancy that. [ She turns to look where he gestures and when she looks back at him, she grins. ]

Thanks for the help. You ever want a drink, stop by The Ginger Jester and I'll hook you up. [ He could probably use a free drink or two working in a place like this. She knows she would (bad, heather, don't encourage young people to drink). ]

[silentnarration]

[Does it count when the young person is a soldier who could use some anyway? He blinks at the offer and nods.]

Sure.

[What's the harm? Bars are a good place for information anyway. He'll watch her head off before he goes back to work. Strange girl but maybe a friend too? Who knows.]
