Wade Williams is a prick. He wasn't always, but years in the soul-shattering world of retail have made him bitter and cynical. Impeded by a lack of direction and infinite levels of apathy, Wade idles through his days avoiding waves of annoying customers, his pugnacious boss, and any kind of work in general.
