Part 1: Underground Supermarket

It all started when a local market could not hire honest people. There were a shortage of honest people in town. Everyone was controlled by a syndicate called, The Dark Souls.

Poor Karen was the only honest person working in the store. The owner of the store came in to check his supermarket. He was wondering why the sales went down.

He went to each aisle and the products were already open and used. He caught the stocking workers who were suppose to be replishing the products on the shelves, eating one of the Oreo cookie brand among each other and having a conversation.

He shook his head and hands on his hips. What is going on here, he thought. Who hired these hooligans?

He used his cellphone and called Karen. Karen came and saw her subordinates eating products and having a conversation in one of the food aisles with the owner looking on with disbelief.

“Karen what is going on here!!!” The owner shouted and pointed at the supermarket associates.

“Sorry, Sir. It is hard to find honest workers now a days.” Karen apologized and gave an excused.

“You are all fired!!! Closed down the store! This is unacceptable!!!” The owner commanded.

The next day the supermarket was completely vandalized and robbed.

    Congrats on the TS

  • That is a good top story. There is a truth well told in it, too. Many supermarket workers complain that they can't find honest people to work there nowadays. I love the honesty in this story.

    My last paycheck was $2500 for working 12 hours a week online. My sister's friend has been averaging 8k for months now and she works about 30 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do..... Www.Smartwork1.Com

    Interesting story. Keep up the good work.

  • I just have to ask, were they the new special edition tiramisu Oreos? I haven't seen them at HyVee or Walmart yet. It is good to see the name Karen to someone who is honest rather than loud, obnoxious & entitled.
