Toss-up as to what’s scarier – the mask or…THE GLARE

It’s only for a month.

Norm you need the job to get ahead

I have been at Walmarts in the returns place after xmas, can’t believe the returned fake trees. And they take them.

Note to self: dig out sack full of body parts.

Hilarious moment?

Around three years ago I was delivering some Taco Bell for DoorDash to some house that was all decorated up for Halloween. After leaving the food on the bench on their porch and taking the dropoff picture, I turned to go back to my car just as a bat dropped down from the ceiling and flew off over my head and out into the night.

Telling someone about it later, they said “oh, for a second I thought you meant a real bat!” And I had to explain I did mean a real bat. I don’t think they eat Taco Bell though, not when there are streetlamps around attracting nice juicy moths.

It’s a Halloween shop. What did he expect?

So why did you, Norm?

He stole Monty’s job.

His reaction(s) could be good for business – demonstrating how scary some of the stuff is – that’s what many of them want.

Why are the customers so angry?

Norman can guess where this job is headed.

Would you like some blood to go with that?

If you don’t know what you’re in for working at a Halloween pop up store, don’t apply.
