the underclass of the lower class

Paul Tanner

you were stacking shelves in aisle 4

when you saw this woman
march right up to a bloke
and jab him in the arm:

THERE’S QUEUES GOING DOWN THE AISLES!
she yelled at him.
WHY DON’T YOU JUMP ON AND SERVE?
she jabbed him again.
YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?

erm, said the bloke. I don’t work here.

oh! she gasped.
I thought you did!
I’m so sorry!

no hard feelings,
said the bloke,
rubbing his arm.
I understand.

then she looked around the aisle É

and saw you.
