Summary
“Don’t stand in the way, new guy. Wouldn’t want to mess up that pretty face. No newbie shaped pancakes on my watch, no siree.” Eddie put his hand on Steve’s shoulder and seemed to study him.
The interaction left him frozen, and Steve realized that his face must’ve been red, because when Robin finally came around the corner, she asked him why he looked like a tomato. He shook his head and refused to explain.
“Seems like you just met a certain someone,” Robin said speculatively, eyebrows raised.
Steve could not, would not satisfy her with an answer, so he simply walked to the break room and sat down, releasing a mortified groan into his hands.
Eddie thought he had a pretty face.
or: a slow burn grocery store au where Steve Harrington is running from his past in Hawkins, Eddie is in an abusive relationship, and Robin and the rest of the store are along for the ride

Summary
Jihoon definitely looks like one of those artsy, exhaustively cultured types; prim and pretty and hella pretentious, who’s only resigned himself to a retail job cause selling his art prints on TikTok shop didn’t pan out, and the bank of Mom and Dad wasn’t willing to bank roll his granola lifestyle anymore.
Seungcheol knows the type well, sees about a dozen of them roll through the store every year.
He’s ready to bet good money Jihoon’s going to call in sick at least twice before end of the month, throw a fit when his application for time-off over the Christmas period gets rejected (but then take the time-off anyway), and then resign dramatically after his first bad performance review, refuse to work his notice period, only to storm back in a month later, furious that they’re not willing to provide him with a glowing reference.
At least, that’s what the last three guys who worked the customer service desk did. But hey—maybe this time it will be different.

Summary
Bill was tired of the Theraprism. With its cold walls and glassy surfaces it was all becoming too much. That's when he decided he had enough. He wouldn’t waste anymore time waiting for an opportunity. He was Bill cipher and he would not be stopped by therapists that probably didn’t even have any degrees.

Summary
Hao reaches to brush the residue off of Hanbin's face, gazing at him fondly.
"No, wait! Don't!" Hanbin flinches, shuffling backwards.
There's a moment of uncomfortable silence as Hao rushes to retract his hand, immediately regretting everything that's led up to this moment.
"I'm sorry, there was just- No, I should've asked, I'm sorry."
Hanbin blinks before rapidly shaking his head. "No no no, that's not what I meant! I don't mind, I'm just…"
He looks down at himself, looks at the mess surrounding him, "Sticky."
The silence makes itself known between them again, thick and all-encompassing. Hanbin stares nervously at his lap, not willing to look up and meet Hao's eyes.
"That's…" Hao glances at the inconspicuous puddle next to Hanbin. "Well, I don't really mind. It doesn't bother me."
Hanbin laughs awkwardly.
"Oh…"
or, how hanbin and hao finally get together.

Summary
“It’s retail, mate. I’m not expecting perfection from some twenty-something dairy stocker. I know it’s not your passion—hell, it’s not mine either. It’s nobody’s, really, is it? You’d have to be properly mad, maybe even a bit masochistic, to actually enjoy it.”
Alex swallows, because he sometimes worries that he could very well be both of those things.

Summary
Wu Suowei wakes up at 7AM everyday, leaves the house at 8, and arrives at work by 9. He works and works until 5PM, leaves, and crawls back home at 7PM. Yes, two hours. Because its fucking traffic in this motherfucking city. Sometimes, he gets home at 9PM because his boss decided overtime was a good idea. Then he eats dinner, gets changed, sleeps. Wake up. Repeat.
Life could be monotonous. Boring. Especially for an adult like Wu Suowei, who works endlessly from dawn to dusk. But life sure knows how to surprise you when it wants to.
One summer, after getting fired from the workshop, a construction worker from across the road starts appearing in Wu Suowei’s life more often, making his life a little convenient, a little bit easier.
“Wu Suowei?! What are you doing with the construction worker?!”
“He’s Chi Cheng! He’s Chi Cheng!”
“What are you doing with Chi Cheng, the construction worker?!”
And spicy?

Summary
“Oh wow,” Leo says smugly, and loud enough that Anxin, working at Register Two, can clearly hear him, “Look at that. I just bagged your entire order in thirty-two seconds. That’s…” He pauses for effect, holding up the customer’s receipt like it’s a medal. “…Employee of the Month speed.”
“Uh, thanks?” the customer replies hesitantly.
“Did you see that, Sangwonie,” Leo says, shouting over to where Sangwon is, a few aisles away, minding his business and stocking shelves.
Sangwon doesn’t notice, but Anxin does.
“Pfft, thirty-two seconds? Amateur hour! Watch this!”
[or: With corporate breathing down his neck, Junseo comes up with a foolproof plan to boost productivity: whoever wins Employee of the Month gets the ultimate prize, a date with model employee, Lee Sangwon. Unfortunately for Junseo, this just makes everyone do their jobs even worse than before.]

Summary
Around the center of town, just across from the post office/“fire department”, to the right of the church and left of the bar, there is a shitty grocery store...
And while this store has always had its fair share of otherworldly happenings, things have been starting to ramp up. The turnaround time on the part-timers has never been quicker, the religious fervor that the mangers have for the founders has been getting more intense, the hole forming out back just beyond the loading dock, costumers are treating the employees with respect.
But none of these really phases Jack, after all, he is not getting paid enough to deal with this shit.
