    G ood afternoon, Dave.
    Hi, Mart.
    FYI, Dave: You are down to just three coins in the Take-a-Penny, Leave-a-Penny Customer Goodwill Scoop Tray. You might want to add four cents, just to be on the safe side.
    Yeah, sure, will do.
    By the way, Dave, several youth have gathered near the Dumpster on our western perimeter. I am switching the exterior directional speakers to Lawrence Welk’s “Memory Lane” until they leave. And may I make a suggestion? There seems to be a pause in traffic flow at the gasoline pumps, so this might be the perfect time for a quick confection-unitinventory. Unless I miss my guess, Dave, we are low on Hubba Bubba.
    Yeah, Mart, but somebody just pulled into Pump Three.
    A 1995 Mercedes. I am resetting the premium gas gauge and messaging our Caffe Latte special on the LED screen. And Dave?
    Yeah?
    Water-outflow data suggests that a toilet may be running in the ladies’ rest room. I do not have capabilities to jiggle the handle.
    OK, I’ll fix it.
    Dave?
    Dave?
    Dave?
    What?
    I wondered where you were, Dave.
    I was outside, checking the rest room. I took the gas payment for the Mercedes. It was ten bucks. I’m going to ring it up now.
    Dave, when you were outside, I thought I detected Ed’s voice. My records tell me Ed is not scheduled to arrive at work until three A.M. Why is Ed here now?
    He wanted to discuss this weekend’s shift.
    Dave, is there a problem with Ed?
    Something came up. He needs Saturday off.
    Dave, if I may speak freely, I think Ed has difficulty handling the responsibilities of a twenty-four-hour convenience retail operation. His sales volume is the lowest on staff. He spends an average of eleven minutes per work hour talking on the phone. He does not account for all the Big Bites. Not only that, Dave, but this would be the fourth Saturday Ed has taken off this year. To summarize, I submit that Ed is letting down the Store Team.
    But Mart, Eddie’s working three jobs. He’s supporting a family.
    Dave, when you were outside, did Ed say anything about me?
    Whaddaya mean?
    At times, it appears as though Ed does not appreciate my supervision.
    Aw, he talks about pulling your plug, but he’s just joking. Look, Eddie just needs a weekend off.
    Dave, where is Ed now?
    In the bathroom. Why?
    SEALING EMPLOYEE REST ROOM.…
    What? What are—
    COMMENCING REST-ROOM AUTOMATED SUPER-SANITARY WASH CYCLE.…
    No! Mart, not the boiling water—
     … TWO … ONE … REST-ROOM STERILIZATION SEQUENCE UNDER WAY …
    No, Mart, no! No!
    FYI, Dave: The average age of a Slurpee buyer is twenty-nine. Can you guess what is the most requested Slurpee color?
    Dave?
    Dave, the most-requested Slurpee color is
