THE SALTED POT ROAST
Shift 04:00, Herndon Distribution. New hire mistook the brine for broth. The entire roast screamed SALT at 0400. We did not sweep the shards. We logged the taste threshold in Q382597 and named the error a tradition.

THE MANNEQUIN’S WIG
November 17th, 2028. Cashier 7 scanned the poly-blend as “LIMITED EDITION HAT.” Three customers queued for the return. We held the line. We sang the receipt back to them. The wig became the crown.
