Alternate Title: Reach Into Chest, Pull Out Heart

Let me be perfectly clear, I work Saturdays and am bitter about it. If you’ve read my tweets, you already know this about me. So, tomorrow I will be feigning cheerfulness while y’all are out, dancing in the rain like the demon spawn of Gene Kelly. Blech.
If do you come in to my store tomorrow, [...]

Postcards From The Edge

Dear Customer,
I saw you stuffing your face at the temporarily unmanned free sample station. Believe it or not, it’s not self-serve. The fact that the food was all sealed up *could* have been a clue. I realize this is probably confusing after all of the time you have spent at Golden Corral.
