"Clerks".  

Guidance Councilor.

A customer comments on the behavior of another man in the convenience store who has been systematically going through every single egg carton in the case.


I've seen that behavior before. Looking for the perfect carton of eggs, right?....I'll bet you a million bucks that the guy's a guidance counselor....

I was in Food City last year when the same thing happened, different guy though. Stock boy told me that the guy had been looking through the eggs for like half an hour, doing all sorts of endurance tests and shit. I ask the kid how come nobody called the manager, and he says it happens twice a week, sometimes more....I kid you not.  They call it Shell Shock. Only happens with guidance counselors for some reason. The kid said they used to make a big deal about it, but there's no point. He said they always pay for whatever they break and they never bother anybody.

Why guidance counselors?  If your job served as little purpose as theirs, wouldn't you lose it, too?
