She had worked at the Special Food Mart for going on seven years. It was a steady source of income in her small town, one that she didn't plan on giving up. It was really difficult to find work there. Everything was a family owned business, and unless you had your own or you were able to travel long distances into the city, where there were plenty of job opportunities, you couldn't find anything.

Unfortunately the commute to the city took an hour and a half, and very few people had the patience to drive that long when most of their money would go into the gas bill in the first place. That's the biggest reason that Lillian was clinging on to her cashier job. It had been an unexpected opportunity, awarded to her by an ex boyfriend's father. He had taken pity on the girl, as his son had treated her poorly due to her weight. He had been very attracted to her, but once the kids at school began taunting him about going out with a fat chick, he had dumped her, publicly and very unmercifully.
