Oh now hold on a second, I'm not -that- loud. ;) I think this needs som=
e more flushing out here guy. Let's see...my opinions tossed into this=
little ticklish flame...

Home Ground Restrictions : All benefits and disadvantages are lost once t=
hey are off/away from their corporate confines. Also become an "Enemy;=
Level 1" of said company by excessive bad talking and the like, though=
still shop at said company, because they can get extra specials and wh=
atnot.

Phobia : Major Holidays, especially Christmas Seasonal. Are known to thr=
ow keys at managers, inform clients they are "morons" (* :), and tell =
dirty christmas jokes to pass the time. (I only fall prey to the last =
category, FYI. I work in the Warehouse, I have -BIGGER- things to thro=
w than just Keys...)

Compulsive Behavior : Smoking and Taking Smoke Breaks. Many people never=
smoke suddenly aquire the habit while in Retail, if for no other reaso=
n, to get away from "them" (the as yet not totally understood topic). =
Those that don't aquire the habit discover a certain level of dissatisf=
action for those who do, deciding that "they" (always the enemy :) are=
excessively lazy and don't do their jobs right...
