PORK & BEANS

so, the employees at work have nicknamed the homeless bum pork & beans. he's the same one who was kicked outta the store a few days ago for getting aggressive with one of the employees, the same one who started following around a couple of our employees. he's the one that always came in to buy crackers and sardines, who smelled really bad and took forever to count out his money to pay. well, anyways, he was hanging around our trash cans out front again today and so our store manager went out there to tell him to leave, and i guess he was telling him things like, "get off my street, punk!" meanwhile, back in the store, jed came by to visit. today must've been reunion day, because later, mario came by with his wife and i got to meet her, then, yvette and alex came by. so, there was this loud screeching of tires out front and then this older gentleman comes in exclaiming, "i almost got hit." poor guy. well, tonight must not have been his night, because on my way home, i stopped to pick up some chinese food, and as i was ordering, there was this yelling outside, and i look out to see pork & beans and the older gentleman in some kind of a yelling/pushing fight with pork & beans threatening he's going to kill the other guy. the other guy comes into the restaurant and pork & beans is outside. the guy taking my order goes out after he's finished, and by that time, a policeman shows up and after some guys talk to him, he takes off, like he's going to go after pork & beans. earlier, the guy taking my order asks me, "are you going to hit me with that?" referring to my flashlight, and i tell him that i carry it because i have to walk. after all this happens, he tells me, "now i know why you carry your flashlight with you." but hey, my food was good, and maybe pork & beans is off the street now.
