The Retail Hibernation Begins

(It’s been an unusually warm December, and no snow on Christmas eve, and yet I hear this conversation at work:)

Coworker: “I’m going to go on my 15 minute break.”

Manager: “What, you’re going to make snow angels?”

Coworker: “Have you been outside recently?”

Manager: “I work retail; I haven’t been outside for two months.”
