Do you find it dull here? With me, I mean?

Take it easy, Nikander! Everything is OK today. I don't know about tomorrow. Maybe the weather will turn, or something. What do you want from me anyway?

Shop Steward
No one can predict how the market forces change. Sometimes you have too much stuff, sometimes too little. But I can say that I'd had to keep you here with us.

Sure.

But there's nothing I can do about it. I just sit here and watch sales graph. There is a new supermarket somewhere around here with all their special offers and so on... So our sales will go down temporarily. You're the only one on probationary period and that's why you have to go. The supermarket's is a merciless machine. I hope you understand.
