Salesmanship Battles Are Best To Hug It Out

(My store has a promotion where if you donate a dollar to a charity, you get a coupon book for ice-cream. Because a lot of my coworkers don’t even attempt to sell the books, the store owner is giving prizes to the person who sells the most. The previous night, I sold 70 books, which put me past the total of my coworker, who is an older lady. The next day, she stands by my till.)

Coworker: “Hey, [My Name].” *hugs me and starts crying*

Me: *shocked* “What’s wrong?”

Coworker: “Your total is higher than mine!”

Me: “…Are you trying to get my salesmanship to rub off onto you?”

Coworker: “Is it working?”

Me: “Maybe.”
