Retail days once more. A younger coworker was pregnant and her household held a bathe for her, and the entire division went.
There have been plenty of desserts, like that concoction of strawberries, Jello, and pretzel crust, chocolate coated strawberries, and a giant fruit basket made out of a watermelon and embellished with big strawberries. It was summer season, due to this fact strawberry season.
I’m sitting subsequent to our supervisor, who’s allergic to strawberries (additionally shellfish, however that wasn’t the difficulty right here). I look over to see her woofing down the large juicy strawberries from the watermelon basket.
Me: “What the hell are you doing? You’re allergic to these!”
Supervisor: “However they’re good! It’s okay, my throat doesn’t swell. I simply get a rash.”
Me: nothing, as a result of what are you able to say?
After the large big strawberries, and a giant scoop of the strawberry pretzel stuff, and a pair chocolate coated strawberries, she got here down with a rash on her legs and arms that took months to heal and left scars.
Probably additionally value mentioning that regardless of her shellfish allergy her favourite restaurant was Crimson Lobster.
She was fired a number of years later for stealing hundreds of {dollars} value of stuff from the shop, too.
