  Speaker 4: Transition walk day number one out of three.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, usually it's four.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: But I was supposed to be at a Christmas party
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: for the neighborhood this coming week and they changed it at.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: The last minute. Now here's the thing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Does no matter what business you're in, whether it's retail,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: if it's banking, I mean, when they schedule out, how
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: far in advance do they make the schedules for people
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: to be there. I can't just say, well, the party
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: fell through, so I'm going to show up for work anyway,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: because then you're spending money that maybe they didn't have
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: in the budget. Oh the crazy ass stuff that goes on.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: It's the business side of business that so many people
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: don't understand. But they'll bitch and moan about I'm not
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: getting paid very much to be here. Oh my god,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Well maybe it's not in the budget, dude. All right,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: even see us, I got to be in a much
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: better mindset. There's snow in the forecast. Not much, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: there's snow. And the only reason why I bring it
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: up is because I live in the South. Anytime you
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: see one flake or a billion flakes. Southerners have a
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: way of making sure that they're refrigerators and the entire
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: pantry selection is filled with the things they really don't need.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: But hey, it's snowing outside. You never know where we're
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: gonna go when the snow comes down. There's just a
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: trace of snow in the forecast. Oh it doesn't matter.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I can tell you're one of them Yankee people. No,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I'm actually from Montana, but okay, but yeah, there's snow
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: in the forecast. So it's gonna be very interesting on
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Senior Day to watch how many people come into this
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: store looking for bread and milk.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I swear to God, I'm not the cranky one.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, a shipped person comes up a ship, they
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: come and do the shopping, they take it out to you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: And because Thursday a Senior.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Day, you get a discount. And she's all pissed off
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: because we gave the senior discount to her client.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: But now the thing is is that she wants that
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: money off there because she wants.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It to be exact. And it's like, okay, I get it,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I get it. I get it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: So then we said, okay, why don't we just go
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: ahead and just refund everything and re ring it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And she looks at us.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Right in the eyes and says, you know, I don't
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: have fucking time to deal with this. Why the fuck
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: are you guys always ruining my day with this. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: even told them I don't need a discount. You guys
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: just fuck me up every time, and all you can
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: do is just say, okay, I hope you have a
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: good day. I thought for sure we'd see a lot
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: more people in here with the snow in the forecast,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: but pretty much everybody's attitude in the store is you know, ah, yeah,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: it's early in the year. They do that just to
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: kind of get their numbers up. It must be ratings
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: time at the television station. Man, I'm not feeling it outside.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: If it snows tomorrow, so be it. But it's not
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: worth coming in here to buy the entire damn store.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Huh. We have no trush bags.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: And for someone like me, who is the guy that
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: goes around and picks up all the trash throughout the store,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: it's what you do when you're in CS, it's what
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: you do.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: It's the grunt work.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: He put up with the bullshit basically, And what happens
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: is is that you're in a situation now it's like, Okay,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: we have no trash bags, what the hell are we
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: going to do? And so I'm gonna go over here
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and I'm gonna I'm gonna pick them off the shelf.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Now, is that right?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: No, they're gonna have my ass for doing this, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I need to get my damn job done. And my
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: job means getting that trash out of here. So if
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I get yell that, well, because you're eating away at
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: their profit, is the reason.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Why.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: What would you do in a situation like that? What
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: would you do? Did you just get it off the shelf?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Or are you just going to do the trash Tonight?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Thanksgiving was a week ago, and people are still talking
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: about how much turkey they have left.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: In the refrigerator.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: So everybody's sharing their different turkey recipes, Like, for instance,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I made turkey salad and just talked about all the
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: ingredients that I put into it and then what I
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: was gonna mix it with. For instance, it's always gonna
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: be sour krowd and all of with me always because
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: that's just my go to food because it's a probiotic
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and olives are very good for you. But the thing
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: is is that you know, today I'm hearing about turkey
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: and rice with gravy. I'm hearing about turkey sandwich is,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: but I'm gonna put bacon on it. But instead of
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: using like a tomato, what I'm gonna do is I'm
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: gonna do some I'm gonna sautaste some some cucumbers. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: it's like all of these turkey recipes after the bird Day.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Look. I remember being at one O seven nine here
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: in Charlotte, and people would always say, you're just so weird.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: You wear your hair weird, you wear your tennis shoes weird.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: You're just weird.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: And so that's when I put together a music collection
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: called they think I'm weird, So I'm gonna prove it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: And I feel the same way here when I'm at
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the grocery store is at I'm gonna try to be
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: as weird as possible, because if I can knock you
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: off balance in the way of getting you away from
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the bad day that you might be having, or if
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: you're having a great day, adding to it, you know what,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna send your Christmas carols. You're gonna walk by,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: and when you least expect it, there's somebody in the
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: background going have yourself. Oh Mary, little Christmas. Okay, you
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: fill it in now, and you wait for them to
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: fill it in, and then when they do you soo God.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: You can't put a price to egg on that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: You just can't.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Please do not move. There's more CTCs coming up. It's snowing.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Plus I can't shake the grump and what's this serious sickness? Hey,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: thanks for coming back to CTCs. It's snowing and I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: can't shake the big old grump. Wow, sickness sets in.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming back. Transition Walk day number two out
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: of three. Woo in this forest today barely forty degrees.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: It was supposed to be snowing at this time, but man,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: it is freezing in this forest. Rain showers, but that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: that's not gonna stop me. It's not gonna stop Jazzy either.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: And the reason being is because one of the things
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: that I've learned in being in CS you can't let
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: any type of storm get in your way.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: It's about searching for solutions, not just searching for them,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: but landing on solutions and trying to figure out how
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: we can make sure that people walk away feeling great
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: so they'll come back another day. That can be a
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: miracle maker right there. I mean, it's seriously, it's all
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: determined by what your reactions are. And CS, I'll see
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: you later.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Right out to the register the second I get in here.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: No walking around.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: This is the reason why I do a transition walk,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: so I can at least get my body in motion
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: and get things moving and grooving so that the knees
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: and the back and the shoulders can sit there and
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: get some sort of juice going into them before I
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: get here, Because I mean, you know, on a day
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: like this, when you're getting closer and closer to the holidays,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: there's no bullshit, you're going to be on that register probably.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: And the reason why is because half the people that
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: you work with are no call, no shows, or they're
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: running late. And it's like, I did some research on that,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: and here's what research shows about people that walk in late.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: It's all about them. It's their world. They don't have
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: any respect for the people around them. Now you can
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: go to them and talk to them about that, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: they'll look at you thinking that you're the egomaniact for
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: bringing it up.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: They wouldn't come out yesterday with a thread of snow.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: But my god, I think the cold today is what
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: has everybody inside this store because they're going.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be cold this weekend. There's a thread of snow.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: There's not a thread of snow, but because it's cold,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: you know, it's just you know, what the hell. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: here's the thing that I love about it is that
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: we're playing Christmas music. It's this cold that makes that Christmas.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Music so nice and warm.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: That's a trick I learned in radio that we wouldn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: play Christmas music until we had our first freeze. And boy,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what just goes so well here at
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: in the grocery store. Friday's we usually the day that
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I do the timeout and for thirty or so minutes,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I go over to the bar and I fill in
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: for the bartender, which is the manager. And you got
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: to do it. I know nothing about beer. I know
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: nothing about wine, and I had a.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Mood tell me today says you don't need to know anything.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Just listen to what they're saying, and they just give
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: them what they want and they're going to be happy people.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: They're not going to sit there and judge you because
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: you don't know wine, you don't know beer. But yeah,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: it does. It just it goes through my head.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: And it's one of those situations that if you were
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: in that on that boat, how would.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: You handle it?
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: If you were put into the bar and you knew
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: nothing about what it is that you were trying to sell.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: And you know the thing about it is, I'm not
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: trying to sell anything. I'm not going to tell you
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: what to drink, what not to drink.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Or what the flavor is.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna give you your dang juicy jay or
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna get you a mimosa.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: A strange but true positive from a grocery store.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I'm the guy that picks up the trash. I do
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: you know that's my seven o'clock thing. Go pick up
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: all the trash, put it away where it needs to be,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: clean up the joint, make this.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Place look good.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And today was the first time in my five years
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: here of picking up the trash at seven pm that
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: something was very odd about the new trash bags that
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: we just got in. They smell good, they came scented
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I said, what are we doing here? And it's like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: oh my god, a positive in a very very negative world.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Things to do.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Take out the trash. Of course, everybody's gotta smell like that. Nice.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Here's something I didn't expect. Sickness has said in big
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: time sickness. I mean it's going around. I mean I've
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: read more articles about it, the neurovirus.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: And everything else that's going on.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: And so I mean we have somebody up and see
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: us right now that is like gagging, gasping for air,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: trying to get everything out of their lungs, blowing their
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: nose like it's a water fountain. And I mean so
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: probably maybe two hours ago, something started taking over me
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: and I kept going, a shit, whatever, I can write
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: this off.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I am CT I can handle this.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: And now, with ten or fifteen minutes left in the night, man,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: this is this is.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: A pretty bad.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Well, here is the sudden shocker of the night. As
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: bad as I feel, for a brief moment there, I
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: was nice and warm in the heart because I stepped
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: outside and we've got snow. This is our first snow
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: of the season.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So ah.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: We kind of talked about it yesterday and everybody was like, no,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: it's not gonna happen. But then here we are and it, Yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: it's definitely coming down.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: So uh wow, this is beautiful.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, uh, we're a long ways away from Christmas,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: but still there's just something about snow that just purifies everything.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: It just makes everything that was evil go away.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Please do not move. There's more CTCs coming right up
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: on the way. Grocery store budgets, gum chewing burping and
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: who the hell is Charlie Brown? Hey, thanks for coming
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: back to CTCs. Grocery store budgets, gum chewing burps, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: who the hell is Charlie Brown?
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Transition Walk Day number three out of three, it actually
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: should be four.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm one of those employees.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm the one that thought, oh, I'm gonna go
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: to a Christmas party that my neighbors are putting on.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna put that ahead of being with my team.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: You know, that person that's always on the team. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: everybody kind of frowns, but they don't want to talk
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: to you about it. And so the thing about it
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: is those about a week week and a half ago,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: that party was canceled. It was moved to a different time,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: which I cannot do. And what does that mean?
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: That means, well, I can either go into work. I'm
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: not on the list.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Well I'm going to go into work, but I'm not
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: on the list, especially since we have a GM right
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: now that is just buttthole crazy over making sure that
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: we stay on budget where they're sending home people very early,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: and it's.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, screw you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm not going to come in here and
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: work if it's going to mess with your budget, only
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: so I can hear you bitch and moan and complain
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Is that the way your retail businesses too? Then again,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I need to just shut up. I'm not the one
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: that's in the decision maker's seat. All I can do
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: is make sure that I show up. But anyway, last night,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: three people, no call, no show, three people.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: You gotta be kidding me.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: The day that I wanted to really kind of come
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: back on that fourth day, and I chose not to
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: because I was on the list, because I put this
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: crazy ass budget thing way ahead of what my team needed,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: which they needed was a player, a team player, somebody
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: that was going to be there, and to only have
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: two people there from eight until close.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Oh shit, that's it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: That's what's on my heart today. As I make my
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: way through this forest. I've got to I've got to
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: do hey transition walk to get this weight off my heart.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: For some reason, I did not condition my mind for
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: the crowd that is here today. I maybe I just
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: thought it should have been later on in the month
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: of December. But oh my god, this is outrageously out
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: of control, and people are on the move. It's not
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: that they're leaving town or getting ready for a holiday. No, no,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: not necessarily. It's just that everybody is cold and they
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: want their groceries.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: But I guess this crowded inside the store.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: I really honestly wish that the fire department could come
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: walking through. No, no, no, I'm not being a jerk
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: or anything like that. It's just that there are so
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: many people in here. It's you know, it's like get
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: in line, going down this line. You're going through the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: International session. Oh, just to get in line.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: This line here is going to be we're gonna do
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: the milk products. Now, get in line. And it's like,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: there's so many people here. What is the official rule here?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: And how many people that you can have in a
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: grocery store before it becomes a danger because if there
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: was an emergency, where would they go? I mean, all
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: the exits through in the back, and we have excess upfront.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: But when you've got this many people here all at
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: one time.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Where do you go?
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: So there's a question for you this week, where would
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: you go? Do you ever scope down your favorite grocery
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: store to find out what your exit plan is? We're back,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Jimmy the Geek. That's what it is, Jimmy the Geek.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: So I think I got your stocking?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Is that what it is? What's going on?
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Because you know, big trucks.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: And next thing, you know, everything's gonna be gone to
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: next day, so right right, it's gonna be a constant
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: process until light March. Well, I don't know how you
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: put up with, you know, your stocking, because I did
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: stocking on Thanksgiving Day, and I mean I swear to god,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: ninety five percent of my time was helping people find stuff.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: How do you deal with of that?
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Well, people don't really ask me for help.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: They don't ask you for help. What does that say
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: about you?
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: I don't look appealing to them.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just so like focused I'm stalking like I
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: don't even look at them. Oh, like I don't look
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: at people walking by. Our greeting seems a little rough,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: but you know, I've got my priories.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: You know, I've got.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: To send out the signal.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: No okay, so you're not batman, No okay, I've gotten.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Into this nasty habit.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I've never been a gum sure, but for some sinking reason,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: over the past let's say four or five weeks, I've
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: been chewing.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: A lot of gum.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: And the problem is, I don't know what other people
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: do with their gum because it's kind of a personal issue.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: And that is is that it builds up gas in
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: my stomach. So man, you know, I mean, one of
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: these days, I'm gonna be chewing on some gum and
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna do a big belt right in front of
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: a guess I'm gonna be going because it builds up
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: so much. Do you go through it too?
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: And now, oh, one of those moments that you don't
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: prepare yourself for, but it happens.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: We're sitting there talking about Charlie Brown. You know, the cartoon,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: the Christmas specials, all the different Thanksgiving specials.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about, right, Linus, Lucy, the
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: whole entire gang.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: And the thing is is that we're talking about it
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: because I said, one of our employees reminds me so
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: much of Linus because he's carrying his coat around like
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Linus carries his blanket. And the guy literally says, he says,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: who's Linus? And I looked at him with strange eyes,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: and I went, what do you mean, who's Linus? Yeah,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know who you're talking about. Charlie Brown, Linus,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: you know, Charlie Brown and Linus and Lucy and everybody.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about. So I go
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: to the next dude, who looks like he's probably mid thirties,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: maybe touching forty, and he goes, I don't know what
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: you're talking about.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Either, No, whoall Peanuts? Dude? You know the Christmas Bason
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: you're hearing it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: A lot of it comes from the Peanuts and they
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: have the you know, the Halloween special and stuff, and
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: they're going, I.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Have no idea what you're talking about.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Are we really at that age where people do not
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: remember Peanuts or Charlie Brown?
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Last week, you have a.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Guest that comes to your line and they basically just
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: verbally just treated you badly.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and all kinds of stuff. Oh my god, I
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: looked at you when you when this was going on,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: and how you kept your cool. I do not know
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: green neither, but I just did.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: And then I eventually walked away when Joel came up.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so and so today she returns to your life.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: She returns to my line. And the girl who was there, Taylor,

  Speaker 3: forget those. You never forget that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: You never forget the person because you don't forget how.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: They made you feel.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Right and anyways, she was being passive aggressive again, but
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I was being extra super sugars and I was like, man, yes, ma'am.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: And then she stood there and she counted these one
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: dollar bills for like, there's only six of them when
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: she had like sixty seven dollars worth of stuff. So
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: she counted them, then counted them again, then counted them
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: a third time, and then put them back in her broth. No.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Then she gets out her cards and she's deciding which
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: one and I'm standing there as a register. And I'm
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: not saying I just stood there with a smile on
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: my face like I'm here so close she could take
