From a business standpoint, Murphy really hated the holidays. As much as he had to be thankful for, and as much as he genuinely cared about the people in his life that mattered to him, he absolutely hated the holidays. Or at least, hated working at any point between mid-November and the end of December.
There were really times he thought about finding something that wasn't going to drive him quite as much up the wall. But Walmart was stable, and they liked him there, and quite honestly? He only hated the customers about half the time.
They'd thrown him up on register for a few hours -- because that was always fun, having to fill in when cashiers didn't show up -- and now he was back to doing what he normally did. Even if wrangling employees and customers wasn't his favorite part of the job, he was still surprisingly good at it -- and wasn't that just some kind of joke on him?
He was in the middle of rearranging a bunch of Christmas gift sets -- at least they were in the right month for them now -- when noticed someone out of the corner of his eye. "Hang on one second," he said, shoving a last display container into place. "Sorry about that. What can I help you with?"
