The Stockers (Completed)

1. 1-47

DAY 1, THURSDAY, OCTOBER

K: So you're the new one?

H: I am. Unless there's another, in which case I'm one of the new ones.

K: No, it's just you.

H: Alright.

K: Because who would ever want to work here?

H: Do you not work here?

K: I do. I just don't know why I ever started.

H: Oh.

K: But the people here are really nice. It's great here.

H: Okay.

K: Welcome, by the way.

H: Thanks.

K: I'm K. Nice to meet you.

H: I'm H, nice to meet you too.

K: Alright H, since I had my scheduled break at the time you'd arrive, I was asked to give you your uniform.

H: Great. I don't have one yet.

K: Exactly. Which is why I'm giving you it.

H: Good.

K: So here it is. The brightest shade of red you've ever seen. Nice large logo on the back. You'll fit right in with the rest of us.

H: I see.

K: Do you work today?

H: Yes.

K: You can change in the bathroom, it's right around the corner.

H: That's handy.

K: It is. Especially if you're scheduled for an entire day. Tell me, why did you want to work here?

H: It seemed like fun.

K: They all say that in the first week.

H: Why did you start here?

K: I needed a first job. I really didn't care what it was. In hindsight, I might have wanted to do at least a little research.

H: That's... honest.

K: Thanks.

H: If you don't like it, why are you still here?

K: If I live through this, I can do anything I want. No experience will ever be as awful as this one. I'll come out the other way stronger than ever.

H: I guess so.

K: Also, it's too much of a hassle to leave and find another job. And I don't want to have an exit interview with the manager. I don't like them.

H: Sure.

K: But it's a great place to work, really. Welcome. If you have any questions you can always ask me.

H: Good to know. Thank you.

K: Do you know anyone who works here?

H: I don't thinks so.

K: There, on the board on the wall, hang like ten different sheets of paper. They're all something different. Look at that when you have time.

H: I will.

K: One of those is the schedule for this week. There's two more like that one for the following two weeks.

H: That's handy.

K: Yeah, but not my point.

H: Sorry.

K: All the employees are listed on it. See if you recognize any names. It's a relatively small town. We're all from here. All of us except for R, and the manager and assistant manager. You'll meet them eventually.
