I ordered five slices of cheesecake, which they displayed in their store window. And as I was getting ready to pay and leave the boss started shouting that I needed to buy a drink.

As I drank my overpriced orange juice the boss started smoking right in front of me and Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774612847831156652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321329750397667796.post-25720179946043140602012-10-21T23:49:56.526+08:002012-10-21T23:49:56.526+08:00First off, thanks for this great list!
