The scene: a local convenience store.
Cast of characters: Me, making a delivery covering for another driver, Kevin, who was on vacation. Mini-mart Nazi, manager of said convenience store. Short-tempered, impatient, and belittling, not thinking anyone is capable of doing anything right.
ACT I
Delivery driver enters the scene, with about 1/2 of the delivery total. Hi, how are you doing? ...This is just the first load. I have about 10 more cases to bring in. Do you want me to leave these here while I get the rest?
Nazi gets indignant. Oh, NO!!! You can't leave those there! We're extremely busy right now!
Driver, having put up with nonsense from Nazi before, takes an exaggerated, animated glance around the store to surmise how busy they are by counting customers.
...ONE...
ACT II
After shaking off the first wave of stupidity, driver gets ready to take the cases into the cooler. The long-anticipated question is finally voiced by Nazi.
Where's Kevin? Did he take the day off?
...Actually, he took the whole week off for vacation.
In an incredulous, stunned shriek loud enough to scare away her one customer: A We-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ek?!?
It appears our store manager is A) easily overwhelmed, and B) unable to grasp the concept of vacation time.
