They never have the good olive oil
I’m trying to be healthy and I can’t get the virgin olive oil
I mean
I walk to the beaten down tough as shit guy in the company blue shirt stacking whatever the fuck onto dusty shelves
‘hey man, you guys don’t keep the good oil anymore?’
He jumps up with the energy of someone ready to die or kill
‘Yes Yes! We have!’
And scurries out through the nearby metal swing doors - reappearing 2 minutes later with the bottle of extra Virgin
‘We can’t keep it out, people keep stealing it…’
He looks at me, equal parts confusion and embarrassment,
and hands it over
‘Wow, really. End of the fucking world’, I say
He doesn’t even smile.
