(Working the late hours in a supermarket, the atmosphere can get pretty casual. About ten minutes before closing, some coworkers call over the PA system.)
PA: “Could [Manager] come to the dairy section, please? [Manager], please come to the dairy section.”
(A minute later…)
PA: “Could [Manager] come to fruits and vegetables, please? [Manager], please come to fruits and vegetables.”
(About 20 seconds later…)
PA: “Could [Manager] come to the registers, please? [Manager], please come to the registers.”
(My coworker and I share a look and suddenly it clicks. It’s [Manager]’s last day! She is pretty popular in part because she is quite hands-off but supportive when needed. Since she doesn’t like being in the spotlight, she didn’t get a goodbye party, but now everyone wants to say goodbye to her in person. There’s an apparent wave of realization going through the store as everyone department joins in calling her over. Some are even getting creative, like calling her to the roof. As I walk back from our little office cubicle to call her over, a customer addresses my coworker:)
Customer: “Oh, my God, that poor manager! Does she have to run the store all by herself?!”
(My coworker doubled over from laughter and when I explained it to the customer she also got a big smile.)
