My coworker for today has quit suddenly, so I have just finished a long rush of customers on my own. It must have lasted a couple of hours as it’s now dark out. I take a moment to catch my breath, and my supervisor comes out and thinks he’s being cute:

Supervisor: “If you have time to lean, you have time to clean.”

Me: “If you have time to give a s***, you have time to stop making people quit.”

Supervisor: “…It’s just a little window smear. No need to be all dramatic.”

Me: “If I had time to wipe that smear, I’d have time to find a new career. I can keep going.”

Supervisor: “Fine… I’ll wipe it down.”

Me: “I think that’s wise, now let me close my eyes…”

Supervisor: “Stop it!”
