I'm Alex and I work at a grocery store as a produce clerk Another tough day at work for me. I had to unload fifteen pallets by myself! I was working with my least favorite manager Ana Castillo, so I had to work extra hard as she watched me like a hawk! I finally went to take a fifteen-minute break, and Ana decided to yell at me about how awful the floor looked since I had not maintained it while I unloaded the back. Inside I was infuriated, but as I looked at her cute pink eyeshadow and gorgeous hair I completely capitulated and let her verbally attack me. She told me I had no work ethic, that I was slow, and called me ugly! She even went so far as to say no one in my life would ever love me as much as her new fiance did her (while flashing me her new beautiful engagement ring on her perfectly manicured hand). I was beyond hurt, but I just agreed with her and said I'd try harder. She looked at me like the weirdo I was before scoffing and walking off.
I returned to work with renewed vigor five minutes early from my break, and worked as hard as possible to make sure everything was perfect, as though a whole team had worked on it! By the end of the day, I had worked my ass off. As I was about to punch out for the day Ana approached me.
"You finally started working a little after I set you straight today, huh Alex?"
