[Spridgets] [EasternOshitGroup] Absolute frustration

[Trevor Jessie]

Not too long ago I was buying a power tool at Home depot.  I was also
buying a 10lb sledge hammer.  The employee had to unlock the case and carry
the tool to the checkout lane.  As we were walking we were chatting about
how the whole shopping experience had changed.  I asked him if he got
commision on the sale (which he didn't). Then I asked if he felt nervous
about his role since I could just knock him in the head with the hammer and
grab the tool and run.   He suddenly had a look of nervous realization that
maybe he should be getting hazardous duty pay.  ;-)

I gave him a 2 dollar tip for his service (he was very prompt and polite).
