Murphy had pulled himself back together, which he was grateful for. Of course, it mostly just meant that he could get through work without twitching like hell now. Sadly, he was actually grateful for that. Because as lousy as working at Walmart was, twitching your way through a shift and feeling like you were going to fall apart? Was infinitely worse.
Though he had to admit, getting stuck working in dry grocery for the day was right up there. But at least that was a department he pretty much knew. He'd gotten stuck over in health and beauty a couple times and he was pretty sure the universe had been laughing at him those days. Threatening to punch people -- coworkers, not customers! He hadn't done that since Derek had been in town -- had helped him. Today, though, all he had to deal with was the usual.
He could almost put up with that. Even when "the usual" was stupid customers and stupid questions.
"Holy shit, I'd kill for someone with a normal question at this point," he muttered to himself as he put up a case of canned vegetables and after having to answer a question about something that in no way would be in that department -- to a woman's great surprise. "Because seriously."
