I ran into some of my co-op buddies who now work in another store last week. They had that frenzied, psychotic yet weary look that only comes in the month preceding Thanksgiving in the grocery world. I have never forgotten what that time feels like. Sometimes I laugh inside a little at folks stressing out at my current job. They only think they are stressing. They haven't worked Thanksgiving in the grocery world...

And, truthfully, I miss it sometimes. The energy is like nothing else.
