MORNING, EVERYONE. I've had a nice, hearty breakfast, and I'm here nice and early to start the day. Let's do this. I'm running off two hours sleep, of caffeine for the morning, and sheer spite. You're lucky I'm here at all. What's that, boss? To restock all? No worries. I'll get right on that. If you talk to me again before the sun is even up, I will rearrange your teeth. Ah, just feel so refreshing to be up this early, you know. I don't even feel. I hate everyone and everything, and life is just a cruel joke played on us by the powers above. God, I miss my bed. Oh, there's a customer knocking on the door. But we don't open for another 10 minutes. Ah, it's fine. I'll let him in now. Save him waiting. No, no, we still have another one minute and 14 seconds till we open, okay? So I'm not letting you in. You can wait. What's that, boss? I'm not working quick enough. Oh, I'm so, so sorry. I'll start working quicker. I'll make up the time I'm. I'm so sorry. It is not physically possible for me to move any quicker this early in the morning. So what did I say about talking to me? Good morning, are you today? Any bags? Not a problem. Beautiful start to the day, ain't it? How's your week been? You want, okay? But if you want a good customer service, then maybe don't come shop at 7:00 o'clock in the morning, okay? That's my shift done. I'll see you guys. What's that, boss? You need me to stay? Yeah, no worries. I'll stay for as long as you need me. What do you want me to do? You can fuck off if you think I'm staying.
