Dreams Dashed on the Floor (with Green Pepper)

Last night just before midnight at Wegmans (that's my next early 80s British Christmas single btw Last Night, Just Before Midnight at Wegmans) I saw a big green pepper on the floor; I don't even like peppers but as someone who lives in the building and drags my fat ass arounds Wegmans about 900x a day, I felt a certain responsibility to be a team player & picked it up and place it back on the shelf where it belonged.

Just as I was leaning down, out of the corner of my eye I saw the dark shape of someone else walking in my direction; I didn’t look up to see exactly who it was but I assumed it was a worker & immediately started fantasizing about what a hero I was gonna be to this person, me taking time out of my busy night to do the work of the people & we'd probably become best friends and oh hey look here I am at the Wegmans Christmas party this year!

But it wasn’t a worker, it was just some other guy like me wandering thru the store last night just before midnight.
