*beep, beep, beep*

Continuous amounts of food went down the conveyer belt as I finished up my last serving of the night. My work was never really busy, but tonight it was due to a special we had in store, spring special. Apparently there was an overcrowding of fresh goods from the farms of which we bought from so my oh so lovely manager was pleased to take it.

My manager was horrid, he abuses the staff, verbally and physically. No one ever spoke up to him or anyone for that matter, which is why he got away from being in trouble. The only reason why I stayed was because I had no other way of income even though my income was only $10 an hour it was what it was.

After scanning all the frequent shoppers groceries I tell her the total, $86.95 and if it was cash or card. She politely gave me $90 cash and I swapped her $90 for her cash $3.05. She packed her backs into her trolley and said goodbye while smiling. She was my favourite customer. I pack up my area and clean up my till, putting the money up the shoot. I start walking towards the office to get my weekly pay check and bag to go home. I get to the office and grab my bag quickly, trying to not get caught up with my manager while I also get my pay check but my luck isn't with me tonight. He walks up behind me, I feel his presence and chills go up my spine. I stay still hoping he wouldn't do anything but he walks up to me and puts his hand around my waist. "You were such a good girl tonight" his words are disgusting, I grab his hand and throw it off me turning around slapping him, he opens his mouth and grabs his cheek where I've slapped him. "You are a disgusting pig who treats females like objects. I don't know why no one else has reported you but that'll surely end soon. I hope you've had you're fun your foul fucking human" I shove my pay check into my bag, push him and run away. I hear loud yells of false accusations and how he's going to fire me but I couldn't care less. Yes, I may lose my income but at least I wasn't trapped there anymore.

I continue running into the parking lot towards my car, my car was a Toyota carolla, the car wasn't in the best shape but a car is a car, at least I had a way to get around. I unlock my car and get in, locking the doors and call the police to report a certain someone, my manager. I press triple 0 into my phone and wait for the service provider to say which I needed, I replied with "police". The lady on the phone asks what the issue is and I explain. "Walmart manager at GreenVille, sexual and verbal assault towards female staff. He's 37, around 120 kgs, bushy beard and very unkept and unclean." The lady says police will shortly be there to assess the situation, I thank her and end the call. I drop my phone in the console and slump down into the wheel, taking a few deep breathes before I sit back up and start the car and drive away. It is currently 11pm as I drive through the empty streets of GreenVille thinking to myself, 'my life is such a mess'

I don't live far from my work, my old work. I soon reach my apartment, park my car in my car port and enter my apartment.  My apartment is small, and  slightly modern. I put my bag down, pull out my pay check and count it, $230. This amount is useless. Bills are due this week and groceries need to be bought. Just my luck. I put my money into my wallet and walk to my room. Dumping my belonging there and get ready for a shower. The shower is scolding hot but I continue to shower and rub the filth of my manager off. I turn the shower off and grab my towel while stepping out, wrapping the towel around myself and drying myself. I put on some under garments and get into bed, not worrying about dinner because I lost my appetite from tonight's events.
