The Holiday Spirit

On first break this one older guy on the crew got mad at the overnight checker for removing a bottle of his soda that he had left in one of the coolers in the frozen food aisles (normal routine for a number of crew members). He was volatile about it, too.

Then between breaks me and this other co-worker, the one that does the most trash talking and mischievious of the night crew came within a second of a fight. Oh man he was pissed and I wasn't backing down, but then seeing a co-worker looking on as we were toe-to-toe with a big grin on his face and possibly quietly giggling (you know, just like the fools at school do when they see a fight in progress -- it's entertainment). "cooler" heads prevailed. I say cooler because he took out his frustration with a punch to a group of boxes on the shelf.

Ah, tis the holiday season, where merry cheer and good will swell within practitioners.
Pfah! Yeah Right!
