Summary
‘I’m talking about the other convenience store.’
‘This mall only has the one convenience store.’
‘Are you going to give me directions or not?’ He snaps.
Perona sighs with all the beleaguered world-weariness of the truly put-upon.
‘Oh, if I must,’ she says.
She gives the directions, the boy thanks her (the same way a man might thank a barracuda, which is honestly so very rude of him), and that should’ve been the end of it, except she’s just watched the stupid green lug walk past the store she’s working in eight times in the last half hour now, and she doesn’t think she can stand it much more. The first four times were funny, but now? Jesus.
Zoro gets a minimum wage job. He also meets Perona. Jury’s still out on which one’s going to be worse.

Summary
Moodily, Zoro flicks a piece of lint across the cashier counter he’s stuck manning for the next few hours. So far, the shifts Mihawk assigns him are always non-rush hour, presumably to give Zoro the space to learn the ropes without fucking anything up. But this means that Zoro never has anything to do. He flicks the lint again.
A pair of scissors jams down just slightly left to where his finger used to be.
‘Will you stop that,’ Perona snaps. ‘I could feel your sulking from the other side of the store!’
‘Jesus Christ, woman,’ Zoro yells, staring at where the pair of scissors are stuck upright into the wood of the counter. ‘What the hell are you trying to do, cut my finger off?’
Zoro is—to put it delicately—bad at customer service.
