There’s No Lack, But There’s Plenty Of Slack

Coworker #1: “Um, you need to let everyone know we don’t have breakfast burritos because I don’t have any in my station.”

Me: “Are you sure did you check in the back? I think I saw some earlier.”

Coworker #2: “One burrito, please!”

Coworker #1: “I JUST SAID WE DON’T HAVE ANY BURRITOS!”

Me: “Did you check in the back?”

Coworker #1: “No!” *to the other customers* “We don’t have any burritos!”

(20 minutes pass, and then another coworker rings in a burrito because they forgot.)

Coworker #3: “Can I get a burrito?”

Coworker #1: “I said I don’t have burritos! Why don’t you listen to me?! You need to pay attention! I don’t have burritos!”

(Upon hearing this, I walk into the back cooler. I find plenty of burritos prepped and ready to be cooked, and carry them out to him as proof.)

Me: “You had burritos in the back!”

Coworker #1: “Oh, I know. I just wasn’t going to go get them!”
