Working For Mr. Burns

(The store I work at is open on Thanksgiving, but only until 2 pm. At around 1:30, we start making our announcements that we’re closing soon and that people should make their way to the registers. It’s just me, two cashiers, and our scheduling manager on the front end. We thankfully have no issue getting everyone out, as our store manager does a walk around to help get people out. At 2 pm, we pull all but one till, just in case. Our store manager gets on the PA system again. Store Manager is not really a joker, and he’s new still and not many people are fond of him because he’s very strict.)

Store Manager: “The only remaining people in the store right now should be [Store] employees. Would all [Store] employees make their way to the front end.”

(He pauses.)

Store Manager: “[Scheduling Manager] will now release the dogs.”
