Wouldn't it have been easier to just quit?

Maybe it's cause he was wearing this.

Working retail has a way of sucking the life out of you and making everything seem hopeless.  It doesn't matter how well things are going at home, just knowing that you have to spend eight or more hours a day in ... that place ... can put you over the edge.  Hell, if I'd put in seven years at Lowe's, I probably would have killed myself, too.  No joke.

I wonder if they were having a fire sale?
