The time. 1993. The place. A dept store receiving dock.

The characters. Mr. Piff, the Operations Manager. Don, the LTL truck driver with a grumpy attitude. Miscellaneous workers.

Mr. Piff wore a dark gray suit. The driver, black jeans and a black turle neck. Piff turned the corner and unexpectantly bumped into the Don.

Mr. Piff eyed up the driver and simply said, “You look like a cat burglar.”

Don shook his head and continued walking toward the front of the building.

The miscellaneous workers overheard and talked about it for years.
