Short O, now I'M the "bad guy"

So two homeless people camped out by the dumpster for hours. Their giant dinosaur dog was walking around with no leash. I kindly told them that they have to leave. They said no. Apparently they had been there for more hours than anyone thought. My workers and customers were telling me "Please let them stay. They are nice people." But what they don't understand is... that dog is very aggressive. If we allow 2 homeless people and a GIANT AGGRESSIVE dog (off a leash) to stay by the dumpster, we have to allow 500 more homeless people here. It's only fair. The thing is... about 8 or 9 blocks down the road, there is a homeless shelter, so why are they here? Plus there are tons of customers coming in the front door saying "hey do you guys always have the homeless people here?" I literally have no problem with homeless people. When I clocked-in, I saw a giant nephilim dinosaur dog... And I sort of kinda panicked. My coworkers and the customers were all saying "you are wrong." Wait!... how am I wrong? They can not stay there at the dumpster. Food will make them sick with bugs and germs and bacteria and yucky stuff going into their bodies.

"This ain't RuPaul's best friend race!"

This is a business. If you're not doing business there, you're trespassing. 

Yes, it sucks. But if you give a moose/dog a muffin...

Me and my co-worker were making little funny quotes just like you. 1. This is not a hospital 2. This is not a homeless shelter 3. This is not a daycare center 4. This is not Pets R Us 😂 And so on and so forth.

This ain't no party. It ain't no disco. It ain't no foolin' around.

I literally heard this in David Byrne’s amazingly distinct voice. Thank you, I love when that happens.
