Cashier Tales: Fearful Meetings

Working at a grocery store can give you some good stories and also some awkward run-ins. I like it that way. I was covering a break on the dreaded cash 12 when I looked up to see the store. I blinked - seriously - it was like a few seconds - and then a cashier came out from behind this teeny tiny pole. I was terrified! I jumped a foot and even scared some customers. It was impressive. I quickly jumped to the conclusion that this particular cashier, my sister's favourite, had avoided both dancing and singing because she was a stealth ninja. She agreed. Skillful employees reign at the 'No Free Homeless' store. Second confrontation: I was finished work and cleared security (no details - bhahaha - top secret place of work) and then went to the offices. The door opened just as I was about to knock. There was the owner - she jumped and shook like crazy. So funny. There had been a whole 'door opening' issue earlier that had since been fixed - they didn't know it and also didn't know that I was around. Hilarious.
