December 27, 2023: Souvenirs

I was in the back of a liquor store checking out their selection of Minnesota beers to bring some home with me. From the back, I heard what sounded like someone, a boss or something, really laying into an employee.

"What are you doing? How could you do something so stupid? What were you thinking!?"

I made my selection and approached the front with a little apprehension. Turns out it was just the lone worker watching the Gophers game.
