Scene:
Basement of the Astor Place Kmart
Me: perusing Martha Stewart’s big shiny balls for my Jewish roommate’s and my pan-religious winter holiday decorations.
Other players: Assorted unenthused Kmart team members shuffling around ribbons, trying to look busy, shouting back and forth to each other.
Guy: I hate this department! The merchandise sucks. The customers suck.
I tip my hat to him. He’s remarkably unembarrassed.
Girl: You just gotta man up and do it, Trevon.
Guy: (Heavy sigh) You can’t man up in seasonal.
