Today was A’s last day at work at our store. He’s a nice young man that was a shift supervisor. He’s going back to college, and he’s taking a week’s vacation before starting school. Today was “truck day” so we could not take the time to do a proper good-bye celebratory lunch or dinner. When I arrived at work this afternoon I asked the store manager if we were going to have any kind of luncheon for A and he said no, we were too busy with the truck and we’d just have to say a quick good-bye.
Well, I’m the last one to take a lunch/dinner break, so during my break I went to Domino’s Pizza across the street and bought four pizzas and brought them back to the store. I offered pizza to everyone there, declaring it was my treat in honor of A’s last day. I just couldn’t see letting him go off to college feeling unappreciated by the crew at the store! One of the young ladies that works there DID bring in a couple of cakes, and we all signed a good-bye card. I also gave him a duct tape wallet that I made as a good-bye gift. He’s a sweetie-pie and I’m going to miss his smiling face at work! I wish him the best of luck and hope he stays in touch.
