I knew a guy at WalMart who fucked a raw chicken.

It was then cooked and an old lady bought it.

There was a chap who threw a tantrum over the 5p carrier bag charge, that was fairly amusing.
Tightfisted little faggot, it's 5p. I hope he dropped the four bottles of whine he bought too.

Hmm, a she-troll was getting all high and mighty over 50p once too. The tills we have are utter trash so I mean, she was right and the till was wrong but god I could have shot her on the spot for making a nuisance of herself.

And there was a lady who kamikaze'd a doorhandle with her forehead too, that ended well. Paramedics arrived along with the Butcher's van, which was a little bit funny.

Well that's not all that surprising, the family who owns and runs this store and a few others too are indian. But I live in a pretty white area, so all of the staff in the shop are limey bastards like me.

There was a conversation between my boss and a retired old man who used to run a shop, the old guy was saying to the effect of ''thank god for you indian chaps, because none of the natives here have got the backbone to run local shops anymore. Nobody wants to get up at 4am and go to bed at midnight every day of the week, work 6am to 10pm shifts and the like''

It was quite interesting to hear really, and it rang true because the other local shop that was run by natives was a complete shambles. They opened when they felt like it and closed early because they were bored, the shop was always out of essentials and rammed with 300 kinds of £5 jam.

That's the spirit!

I do run into that a lot at work, the half arsed job some of the student labour pool does of things. After they'd trained me for a week I ended up being sent to clean up after everyone else. Make sure things were done properly and all that.

I mean, it's kinda embarrassing when your boss drags you and a co-worker to the section you've just done to point out that's how things are meant to be done.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
A woman came in three months after Easter and bought all of the discount holiday items. Three shopping carts, stacked double high. Everything was like $100.

Yeah most people just half ass it, which looks even better on you if you keep making them look bad by being motivated and actually giving a shit.

I neither fear, nor despise.
The person who trained me got arrested for stealing.

Most people who trained me inevitably quit or got fired while I was there

When I worked at a grocery store an old lady in a handicap cart ran over my foot and broke it.

And my friend and I used to freeze empty SoBe bottles and throw them in the parking lot out back. One time I slipped and nailed a dumpster off to the side, about a foot away from some hobo's head. So yeah, I almost murdered a hobo.

What's a dead hobo or two between friends?
