You must have an interesting story or two to tell about your time as a store clerk?

I've had cops tell me they wouldn't do it on a bet.

2nd and 3rd shift the scum starts prowling, the ones never seen in sunlight. If you're working near a section 8 any time at all can get hairy.

I was based in one store but because I was reliable I'd get called to other stores when some sorry kid didn't show up. Lots of overtime and supervisors griping about overtime. I just told them if they couldn't handle my paycheck they could keep the stores open themselves. No takers on that. It got to me, I finished a 70 hour week and ended up in the emergency room. In the hospital one day, told the doctor let me out, got to get to work. He said "you don't understand, you're not going back". After a week in bed I tried to work a shift, couldn't do anything but lean on the counter.

I got an overload of benzene hexachloride about 35 years ago. I was treating a crawl space for powder post beetles and the high pressure hose blew out. By the time I got out to turn it off I was soaked. When I got pneumonia it finished the job on my lungs.

Nothing can be done but relieve the symptoms a little. My best hope is a massive heart attack instead of gasping for air when it comes to that.
