[ Steve hadn't been thrilled to take the job at Scoops Ahoy either, but it was better than working for his father and far better than the lectures he'd get from his parents every time Steve asked for some money. There's something very wholesome about working this kind of job, if he thinks about it; the stupid uniform and smiling through customers abusing him feel like a rite of passage for those of his generation born without a silver spoon in their mouths, or those who have recently had it ripped out like Steve.
It could be worse. He could be working at Hot Dog on a Stick where the hats were bigger and the colors clashed horribly. The mall also isn't a horrible people to hit on babes, and Robin is pretty easy to work with, and Steve can't remember the last time there was anyone from upper management on his case about anything. Finding out that Eddie Munson, resident freak of Hawkins High, is Steve's new co-worked definitely puts him on edge, though. He remembers the guy yelling about non-conformity every time they had to do the Presidential Youth Fitness test in gym class, there was no way he'd willingly wear a sailor's uniform and scoop ice cream all day.
Except he does, at least on this first day. Steve is going to be keeping a count of how many days it takes for him to break and show up without his uniform and some stupid excuse about it falling down a well or something. ]
Man, I don't know. [ Looking Eddie over, Steve is surprised by his own opinion that he doesn't look half bad. Maybe it's because he's skinny as a pole and meanwhile Steve has already ripped a hole in one pair of shorts. ] Maybe you'll get points for looking like an actual sailor.
