Twenty-five years ago today, I had one of the busiest work shifts of my life. I was a grocery store cashier, and everyone thought they’d be living off-grid come midnight. Panicking shoppers were buying all the canned goods, bottled water, and boxed foods and filling their carts. People were in a rage. The line of people waiting to get to the cash registers wrapped completely around the interior of the large store more than once. None of the cashiers were given any breaks. We were exhausted and shell shocked.
