00:00 I cursed those bears with the little strength that I could muster.
00:04 Hi.
00:06 We're all just hanging out before work?
00:09 Was there a text chain that I wasn't on, or...
00:11 Well, it's not exactly before work. The store opened about 25 minutes ago, so...
00:15 But yes, there is a chain, and no, you're not on it.
00:18 You're kind. I noticed we moved the lip balms.
00:21 Yeah, because we got these new breath mints in, I wanted to give them a fighting chance by putting them up near the cash.
00:25 Huh. Uh-oh.
00:28 What is... is something wrong?
00:30 No. They're just new mints that haven't been sampled yet, so for all we know they could be poison.
00:35 I'm removing the lip balms, best sellers, all the way to the corner here.
00:39 Okay, well I don't think that the mints are poison.
00:41 They're very delicious.
00:43 Point is, these are a staple of the store.
00:45 They're at the cash, people come to the cash expecting the lip balm.
00:48 I just wish that I had been consulted before they were moved.
00:52 David, you move things without consulting me all the time. Like the brooms.
00:55 Okay, well they were fugly brooms with big red handles. They didn't match our sand and stone color palette.
01:00 Well, this is clearly a high stakes situation, so maybe you want to close the store down and figure it out.
01:06 You know, David, one of the fundamental pillars of any successful business person is their ability to compromise.
01:12 I have to agree with Patrick on this one.
01:15 I don't think there's anything you have to do.
01:18 And I compromise all the time.
01:24 What?
01:25 Nothing. I just, um, just remembering all those times that you compromised.
01:29 I was just thinking about the same things, because there's so many to flip through.
01:33 Okay, last week I let you pick the movie we watched.
01:37 You made me pick between two Sandra Bullock vehicles.
01:39 And you picked The Lake House, which was the correct choice.
01:42 Just so that you know, making someone choose between two things that you like is not exactly a compromise.
01:47 I am fine with compromise. It's just this situation that's bothering me.
01:53 So why don't we just put everything back exactly as it was, and start again?
01:58 So in that case, I know that you were planning to go pick up the tote bags later this afternoon, even though I'd asked you to do that two days ago.
02:04 So maybe in the interest of compromise, you could go and do that now.
02:08 Fine.
02:12 Stevie, would you care to join me?
02:14 No.
02:15 Fair enough.
02:16 So you guys are just going to stay behind and talk about me after I've left.
02:20 Swap stories about how I don't compromise.
02:23 Yeah, pretty much.
02:25 (laughs)
02:25 (door creaks)
