The Mac Larsen Incident

Kal was stocking shelves. This was his least favorite part of the job. He enjoyed the customer service element, helping people solve their problems. At an arts and crafts store there was always a parade of characters with questions. The most annoying customers were those who really just wanted him to do their project for them. He would sometimes indulge the pushy old ladies or lazy teenagers, and go beyond his job description by helping them cut foam boards or even drawing out schematics for their projects. This was not why he had gone to art school, but he had a hard time utilizing the word no, and it was better than unpacking boxes.
