24 of 24 on the 24th February 2014: We are Alverston & Associates because of Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 - October 5, 2011).

Cash register

Customers

One right next to the other.

People starting to justle.

Onset of panic.

Alone on a Saturday shift

Alongside folks

With taffy sticks

Five videos each.

Aggravation

Is costing the company

And worker

Sales and stability

The beginning of the tread into

Employment territory

There are scowls

Then walkouts

Self-esteem

Embarrassment

No longer matter

Just surviving the night

After an unsuccessful run

As sales associate

Warnings received of

A fast ending.
