So, everyone at the store is all greened up for St. Patty’s day, I didn’t even think about it, so, when I come in for a 5-9 shift tonight, I’, in my regular Kroger blue shirt, black pants and black grocers apron.

I realized I would get some questions from some employees and managers (green was not mandatory, just allowed for today), so, when on of the managers asked me if I celebrate St. Patty’s day, I told her, with a poker straight face… that… “No… the IRA killed my Grand Pappy and some other family members many years ago in Ireland, and things like green and St. Patty’s day brings back the horrible memories.”

(wait for reaction)

Yea… she was so upset that I had to tell her I was only kidding. I have to stop doing that at the store.
