Stand Up For Your Country
Our store remains open on July 4th. Unsurprisingly, we get a lot of call-outs for “last-minute emergencies,” so my coworker and I are stuck doing a double shift at the checkouts today because, hey, we need the money.
Me: “One day, I’ll have the whole holiday weekend off and be like one of those people who actually get to go to barbecues and drink beer and watch the fireworks.”
Coworker: “I used to dream of being off on July 4th. Now I just dream of sitting down.”
