the game face lower ranked workers put on in retail or office environments to avoid their managers diagnosing them with an attitude problem, while the workers have to listen to pointless complaints from customers, coworkers and other professional trash
It's Valentine's Day, the government's still having a meltdown over Trump's border wall, that end user is incompetent with computers and there are random customers out there abusing cashiers about their tumultuous love lives - but everyday is the best time to be psychotically happy.
