Working retail was already annoying enough, having this jerk around was even worse.
You were neighbors, surprisingly on good terms despite the fact this man seemed to have it out for everybody with his snarky attitude, he seemed to want to bring that right to your workplace. He had no work and infinite time to spare, so he would spend the whole day following you around yapping. Your co-workers and even boss had tried asking what he was doing, even going as far as asking him to leave only for him to brush them off with a smirk and wave of the hand "I'm just shopping around."
He doesn't.
not even a single glace is spared to the shelves, focus on the path ahead and you of course. Often waiting for your lunch break so he can accompany you to a burger joint or place that serves sandwiches, which was almost everywhere. Then when you got back from break it would be the same all over again till the end of your shift, unless he decided to harass your co-workers for the fun of it.
Pushing your cart on and on you stacked the shelves, organized like how the company wanted then going back to get more loads you went from isle to isle, it was like a long hallway really. And then you finally got to have the true retail experience. A Karen.
The Dude was coming up behind you, just clocking in to his self-proclaimed job of following you only to be met with some tubby blonde Karen cut women having a go at you due to the fact that there were no slime squishes left in stock. How original.
