On a single lonely day at work, only two employees fill a store larger for the both of them to handle. They're the only two who haven't called out sick because of COVID.
Their boss isn't even here, preferring to stay isolated and communicate with them virtually. Plus, the customers are mad...
I'm sorry, sir, I can he-
This is the last time I ever shop here!
Your service is lacking, girl!
I guess so. Thanks.
Hey, don't worry, you did great, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
*cough cough*
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, sorry, it's just a cough. I've been feeling a little under the weather, that's all.
You should probably go home. If you're sick.
Don't worry about the boss. You should at least get tested
Yeah okay.
No, It's okay, I'll power through Besides, the boss might get mad at me if I leave
And so, about an hour later in the break room....
My COVID test came back negative, although they said it might be something else.
Thanks, but I'm strong enough to make it through.
Well that's okay, I'll cover for you for the rest of the day.
