Dumpster Heist
Unlocking the rules
"You saw my record. You looked at my DUIs without my consent. I did not consent to a background check from you" Ashton calls into the fancy dumpster of Empress Essence.
"Background checks are anonymous and I do them for everyone around me. I was proud of you for only having three DUIs, and it must've been cute and sad when you failed the sobriety tests. Can you forgive me?"
"It's funny that they're anonymous until you start blurting things out at the bar."
"You gotta be open to background checks. You should probably do them too. Oh, I love this scent!" Stacey's duffle bag receives an armful of lotions, perfumes, soaps, and make up.
"You could've told me."
"Why would I tell you? You should have done one on me."
"Maybe it would have suggested that I'd have to help you dumpster dive for fancy body care."
"Why would they throw these away when they're only lightly damaged instead of putting them on clearance?"
"They should make a beauty thrift shop for women like you who want to get around the rules. This is technically stealing. I should keep you in there."
"You, my favorite manager, unlocked this heist."

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.

The friend doing a background check and pink Dumpster made me laugh.
I agree they should clearance it. Outstanding story
If I had the chance, I'll be so guilty of this, lol! I too don't get why they don't put them on clearance!
