>>8564003>work at disney store at the mall because useless liberal arts degree and living with white parents means I have to pay them rent>particularly empty store, since there is a pandemic and many people have been layed off, money is tight for most people, so a lot less frivolous spending>have to stay open anyways because god forbid the mouse goes a day without leeching the sweat and blood of the working class>watch as a man who was probably in his late 20s peruse the plush characters>he approaches my cash register with two characters from that movie I was forced to hear about because my parents attempt at amending their failed marriage is passive aggressivesly one upping each other by bribing my younger siblings and I with indulgence of media, toys, and foodstuffs with copious amounts of sugar. >he asks me nervously if they have that blue character in the back, all while apologizing qnd stuttering>feel bad for the man, he doesn't seem weird and I ring the jerk offs in the back who have me working in the fields if they could take the time to stop dicking around on twitter or instagram and check if they have the blue figure>get a reply almost immediately that they did not, guy didn't even have the decency to leave a little dead air before his next response so his facade of there being no plushie in stock could have been a little more believable >man seems embarassed now and apologizes again, his words made him out to be somewhat complacent but his tone and body language screamed otherwise>remember how my manager is such a hardass on how we're supposed to incorporate some sort of disney magic into sales transactions or customer to employee relations now and then
>inexplicably mash some fairy tale spiel to try and get a reaction>the man laughs a bit and I finish ringing up his purchase. >I say thank you and he mutters out a you're welcome, not really understanding it was rhetorical>mfw op thinks he was the one who was embarrassed about that interaction
