Pac-Man High Score Funeral

Our long-time Cashier Margie had to be put down this morning after a 6-month investigation found that her high score in our Pac-Man Arcade occurred while she was on the clock and not on lunch break as initially thought. After clearing her High Score, we allowed her one last moment with the machine before ending her life. PAC-MAN

A cashier named Margie stands beside a Pac-Man arcade machine in a convenience store. The post jokingly treats firing or “putting down” an employee as if she were a terminally ill animal, with clearing her high score serving as her final moment before her “life” ends. It is a dark workplace joke about getting punished for playing Pac-Man while on the clock.
