Holden walked into the Food City grocery store, put on his red Food City uniform apron and name tag and sighed to himself "Another day of this mundane fucking existence."
Suddenly Holden was approached by his boss a fat, bald, stern middle aged man by the name of Leon . "Why are you late again, and where the hell is Banky? What do you think, you can waltz in here any time you want!? You do this again I'll boot both of your asses out of this store right to the fucking unemployment line! Got it, kid? Now get your ass to work! " Leon screamed
"Sorry, Leon. We'll try to be more punctual." Holden replied and then headed to his cashier station. A mother wheeling a shopping cart with a child following behind her approach Holden's register. "So, these items ma'am?' He asked the woman. her child tugged at her dress, held up a bag of skittles and said
"Mommy, Mommy! Can we get these candies?"
"Hold on a second, hon." she answered "Excuse me, sir but do you think these are safe for a young child his age?" she asked Holden
"uh, I..I guess they're kind of small he might choke on them"
"Mommy!" the child demanded
"We can't get the candy, the cashier man said you could choke on them" she replied
"But mommy, plllllllleaassse" the child pouted
"I said you couldn't have the candy, no means no you little shit!" she yelled and then smacked him.
"Ma'am don't you think you're being too harsh, I mean all he's asking for is candy" Holden interjected as the child cried.
"Don't you tell me how to raise my kid you son of a bitch. Try raising your own one day, you'll see. Christ, I wish this little bastard wasn't even born" "Come on, let's go" she said to her child pulling him by the arm as he cried "Oh, and I'll be taking my groceries now" she said to Holden. Holden bagged her groceries and said "Have a nice day." Banky walked in to the store as the mother and child exited Banky bypassed Leon who was undoubtedly angry at him and said "Blow it out your ass big guy" Banky put on his uniform and proceeded to His and Holden's register.
"What's up dick face?" He asked his friend and co-worker
"I'll tell you what's up you not showing up" he retorted
"So What?" he said nonchalantly
"So What!?" It's my head in the guillotine when you don't show up! Do you think I like getting hassled by Leon daily?" Holden replied
"Oh boo-fucking-hoo, like you're the only one he yells at" Banky said
"I wanna get out of here do something creative, you should do this with me, Bank." Holden said with a sense of aspiration
