“Attention! Attention! Okay, everybody look over at me now,” Glenn tried to get the attention of the employee’s but failed, looking at Dina and Faustino miserably,”Okay, that's as loud as my voice goes, so I'm-I'm not sure what to do here. Um, Clover could you-” he tried to ask

Sighing, Faustino cleared his throat,”Quiet, quiet,” he mumbled lazily, and then looked at Glenn with a shrug,”Didn’t work,” he told him, his actions causing Dina to roll her eyes as Glenn sighed sadly

Going over to an empty table, Dina banged on it silencing the room and then gestured for Glenn to continue.

“Okay. Okay. Today is a very exciting day because "Stratus" is doing a profile on our store. Yeah,ooh! oh, yeah!" Glenn revealed excitedly, clapping his hands

"What's "Stratus"?" Jonah asked, looking around at everyone

"Only our internal corporate magazine!" Mateo scoffed at his cluelessness, holding up one of the Stratus magazine’s and handing it to Amy who reached for it

"Magazine" isn't exactly accurate. It's more like misleading propaganda." Amy chimed in, flipping through the book

"No, it's not!" Glenn defended, only for Amy and Faustino to roll their eyes in sync

"Minimum wage is maximum fun!"Amy read off the headline, mocking excitement

"It is!" Glenn agreed, nodding

"Work it off: A Guide to Injuries on the Job," Jonah read through an old issue of the magazine

"Ooh, there's a jingle-writing contest. Bo could enter that. If he won, he could stop dancing for his Mom's friends." Cheyenne said, reading a recent issue of the magazine, earning a concerned glance from Faustino

“Cheye?” Faustino spoke up, causing the teenager to look at him with a soft smile

“It’s not the bad kind. He doesn’t do that anymore after your talk with him,” Cheyenne told him, causing the man to nod at her

"It's my responsibility to show the reporter around, so, please, let's put our best foot forward, okay?” Glenn continued, and looked at the pregnant girl,”Cheyenne, that means no falling asleep in the bedding department,"

"I get tired, Glenn. I'm pregnant," Cheyenne defended, rubbing her growing belly

"Not today, you're not!" Glenn replied, smiling brightly at her encouragingly

"Okay," Cheyenne said sadly, looking up at Faustino who shook his head

“If you need a nap see me in my office, Cheye,” Faustino told her, the girl’s face shifting into a smile

“Thanks, Clover,” Cheyenne thanked, as many of the employee’s smiled at the interaction

It was known that Faustino had a soft spot for the girl. They held a father daughter relationship and were extremely close. This also somewhat reached out to Bo as well as the boy went to the store regularly for Faustino’s guidance.

"Uh,oh, and Sal, I'm gonna need you to take the creepiness down to about a two, okay? Garrett, um, I love those nicknames you come up with for me, but, uh, some people might see them as insulting, so why don't you just get 'em out of your system now,” Glenn further announced, trying to make things go as smoothly as possible

"Glennda, G-Nothing, Glenngarry, Glenn Loss, Glennema,Glenntil Soup, TransGlennder." Garrett listed fluently, not missing a beat causing many to smirk and stifle their laughter

"oh, that's a new one," Glenn commented with a smile, failing to see the insults within them

"You got to keep this reporter away from me. I hate reporters,” Dina revealed, putting her hands in her pockets,”My school paper once misidentified me as a scoliosis victim. I mean, the joke is, my spine is perfect, okay? I can bench 160,” she said, then glanced at Jonah,”165 in the right situation," her words causing both Jonah and Faustino to side eye her
