To make matters worse, since the New Year was coming soon, many employees had already applied for leave to go home for the holiday. The passenger flow i n the supermarket had doubled, but the number of employees working was lesser than usual. Therefore, there was a shortage for all of the various jobs in the supermarket.
There was a shortage of salespeople, cleaners, and also cashiers. Even the employee responsible for weighing the groceries was far from enough. Anyone who wanted to weigh their groceries would have to wait at least ten minutes in line.
When Jacob saw so many people in the supermarket, h e was very frustrated, and he said, "Sigh! We should have come out earlier to buy the goods. If that was the case, I could be lying down at home and watching television right now instead. I would not need to come in here and join in the crowd!"
"That's right." Charlie smiled helplessly before he said, "I wanted to come here yesterday, but Mom got hurt."
Jacob hummed as he said, "Don’t mention that b*tch. She is always causing all sorts of trouble all day long!"
As soon as he spoke, Jacob could not help but sigh as he said, "She is constantly causing all sorts of trouble for everyone all day, but why didn't she break the law i n any way? Wouldn’t it simply be great if she
accidentally broke the law and got locked up in prison for several years?”
Charlie could not help but break into laughter as he said, "Dad! If Claire hears you now, she will certainly feel very sad.”
Jacob hurriedly said, "I am just complaining to you now. Don’t tell Claire about it!”
Charlie nodded before he said, "I know. Don’t worry."
Jacob sighed as he said, "Sigh. Let’s stop talking about her. Let's hurry up and buy the ingredients for the New Year Eve dinner.”
Charlie said, "We should start from the vegetable section, then. The first thing we should do as soon as we enter the supermarket is to buy some vegetables first. If we do not take advantage of the opportunity to get some vegetables first, the good vegetable would be picked by others, and we will only be able to buy some leftover vegetables that are not fresh anymore.” i
