Shh, I half-heartedly scold him, not wanting us to get busted talking shit on the boss. Who knows how many holes he’s stuck his D into. He scrunches up his nose and shakes his head. Not just employees but customers, too.ĭon’t forget a manwhore, Kyle adds, reading my mind. He’s our freaking manager and he flirts with everyone. I think he’s only into me because I never flirt with him like everyone else does. The store manager, Mason Sims, thinks he’s a ladies’ man. I have no desire to get tangled up with my boss and then end up without a job when things inevitably go south. I take it knowing this will be it until I get home and have dinner tonight. I sit down next to Kyle on the bench and he hands me an apple slice. Who doesn't that man notice? I think his only preference is vagina. Kyle wiggles his eyebrows and I have to fight a groan. I do have a ton of customers I love who always seek out my line.Īin’t that the truth. You’d be shocked how mean some people can be over expired coupons or us running out of a product. I don’t need any flair to draw attention to me. With the customers we get, sometimes I wish I could blend in with the walls. I could blend into the walls wearing this. Over at Sun Price grocery store they have to wear these ridiculous hats that have a spinning propeller on top of it. If you ask me, I think we’re pretty lucky and I’m not going to complain about it. We wear black pants with a white polo and our name tags. He told me the other day it needed a pop of color. Kyle makes a face at me as if I’ve lost my mind, but I’m not sure he’d find any uniform to his liking. By the time I got off the phone with one of my sister’s doctors, I’d been out of time to eat and had to get back to my register. He digs into the bag and it reminds me that I haven’t eaten today. Kyle plops down onto the bench and opens up his lunch. If they don’t like these uniforms, then they should change them. Who cares? It’s your work uniform and it’s a company meeting. He could make or break things for my sister Hazel and me. I’ve never known anyone to actually go before, but I don’t have any other options. It’s part of being an employee, but it also means you can go to the quarterly meeting if you like. It’s an employee-owned grocery store, which means all the employees who work at the grocery store have stock in the company. He’s the CEO and holds the majority shares for Community Mart grocery stores. Reed’s time, and I know he’ll be at the meeting. Not that I even know what a shareholders meeting is.

I have no clue what people wear to a shareholders meeting. Not that I really have anything nicer than my work uniform I could wear. I’ll never be able to drive home and still make it to the meeting on time. I should have brought a change of clothes, I tell Kyle as I take my purse out of my locker then close it again.
