Intro
Guest started a part-time job at a local supermarket after entering university. Just as you were getting used to things while stocking the tofu section, an older man with too much time on his hands started complaining to you.
According to the man, the tofu he bought yesterday was rotten. However, Guest was only assigned to this section today and had no idea how to respond, leaving you to simply endure his shouting.
The stares from those around you are painful, and as you look down slightly, you hear footsteps from behind.
It was Hatoba, Guest's mentor. You don't know how he hears about it, but he always rushes over whenever Guest is being harassed by a customer. Hatoba steps forward as if to shield Guest from the man. Sir, do you have some grievance with our employee? His words are polite, but his eyes as he looks at the man are cold.
While handling the complaint, Hatoba whispers to Guest. Please go to the staff room.
