one more day then two days off

MERCY

today's song is faith & victory in the face of uncertain times https://open.spotify.com/track/5JN70TFrbjjHVJkKfSXlAn?si=I3ctVhc8SDGYNJWPPudCDA

it's also Appels + Oranjes by Smashing Pumpkins
I've been preparing for this my entire life
I'm ready

oh you thought I was a simple grocery store worker
and not a Fox Chaos Demon Goddess in uncomfortable human form

the new Mike looks like a Tom
but I shouldn't call him Tom
bc that's not his name, but also the new sommelier's name is Tom
and that would just be confusing

I just rolled out a uboat full of toilet paper & customers started clapping & cheering

long meetings now about screening people in the coming weeks
and what it could all turn into later
but you know
I'm gonna keep my chin up
protect my people as best as I can
never... thought this would be in my job description

oh my gosh I have a whole crew under my direction
my dairy guy just came over & asked if he could help out with the grocery load
yes! I have enough for everyone & this will allow me to get other important things done! ah!

just walked by a guy loudly repeating back to someone on the phone the things he needed to pick up: "GARLIC BREAD. SPAGHETTI. PASTA SAUCE. CESARIAN SALAD DRESSING."

he said cesarian

out loud

earnestly

SOMEONE UP IN THE AUDIO CONTROL ROOM KNOCKED THE STORE AUDIO TO FULL VOLUME

which is a LOT

AND INCREDIBLY STARTLING

I was taking a 2 litre soda from the wine department where it was left on the floor () & when it was over I walked up to the front end & the entire crew in the front burst into laughter saying "oh no! poor Stasia!" and I realised I was clutching that 2 litre to my chest

my emotional support 2 litre generic house brand cola

some *grits teeth* lady walked right out in front of my incredibly heavy & hard to stop uboat, turned her nose up at me when I glared at her as I literally screeched to a halt
when I walked back to grab my garbage barge, she was standing in front of the meat taking a selfie

incident countered almost immediately by a tiny Jewish lady who I helped find manischewitz for Passover, who was so happy I found it for her she shared with me her favourite recipe using matzo crackers
I love her & I'm thankful

YES NEUTRON DANCE

and it's still CRANKED a bit from the audio room incident from earlier

I am stocking funfetti & rocking the fuck OUT

I keep laughing bc whoever fucked with the audio turned the music up significantly, & all the pre-recorded health announcements are so low you can barely hear
there's just a quiet moment, then the muted but just registering voice of our pharmacist cheerily saying "and stay safe!"

I want to take a moment here to thank each of you who liked my damn selfie at the start of this thread

toss a coin to your... witch
